1. A Bissell multi-purpose portable cleaner, because it will get out stains from hard-to-clean places like your couch and mattress. It scrubs and rinses away messes. Plus, reviewers say the powerful suction doesn't leave your furniture or rugs soaking wet.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and our toddler has turned our apartment in such a dirty place. Stains everywhere! Our sofa was in such bad condition (which we only got it two years ago) that we were thinking of getting a new one. We decided to try this, and it is a miracle worker. I’m so glad we bought this. It’s worth every penny!" —shahzad mahmood
Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (also available in three bundle options).
2. A set of plastic knives so you can say yes when your little chef wants to help out in the kitchen. These knives can chop fruits and veggies but are not sharp enough to slice your little helper's finger.
But just a reminder that children should still be supervised while using these knives!
Promising reviews: "My daughter loves these. I saw these on TikTok then ordered them for my little kitchen helper. We cut up all types of veggies with no problem." —Maia
"I’ve only had these for a couple of days, but already my 4-year-old daughter keeps asking me for things to chop up. They’re perfect for the little chef in your life or the kid who want to be a big helper. So far she’s easily (and safely) chopped up: lettuce, apples, bananas, strawberries, potatoes, even carrots! I can run my hand along the blade and not cut myself and yet it’s designed in a way that you can still chop through veggies and fruits. Another pro is they are super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. They came exactly as pictures for me: in three different sizes and colors, with a slight grip texture on the handle for little hands. They’re nice and lightweight as well so it’s not cumbersome for younger kids. Love them!" —Abby Roeller
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.95 (available in two color combinations).
3. Comotomo baby bottles designed to mimic the shape of a boob to make latching easier for your little one. Not only can they help your baby transition from breastfeeding to a bottle, they can also encourage them to go back and forth between both!
Promising review: "Favorite bottles! A mom on TikTok recommended these, so I tried them out. They don’t leak and milk doesn’t come out of the nipple at a fast pace. I would definitely recommend!" —Shaina Tradesco
Get a set of two from Amazon for $23.98.
4. A pancake batter dispenser and mixer if you have a chef-in-training who loves to help out in the kitchen. As a parent, I know that extra ~help~ can lead to an extra big mess. But this bottle will allow your little one to mix and pour batter without a mixing bowl or spoons, and without getting batter all over the counter and their clothes.
Promising review: "My 8-year-old is a huge fan of making pancakes. He saw this on TikTok and just had to have it. We absolutely love this product!! Easy to clean and use. I love that it’s an all-in-one. No more messy bowls, and he can squeeze out the perfect amount for his pancakes." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.68+ (available in two colors and two pancake art kits).
5. A Solar Buddies refillable roll-on sunscreen applicator to make it wayyy easier (and less messy) to apply sunscreen on your squirmy kiddo. All you have to do is add your fave sunblock in the bottle and then use the sponge to smooth it onto your child's skin — no more sticky hands or accidentally squeezing out more than you need.
And if you want to see it in action, check out how easy it is to apply sunscreen in this TikTok video.
Promising review: "Trust me, this is worth every penny! I am going to be completely honest, when I saw how long the shipping was going to take, I hesitated, but I originally saw this item on TikTok (thanks @taylor_tots09!) and knew it would make life SO MUCH easier when it comes to putting sunscreen on myself and my kids. I have to say, I am NOT disappointed!! The wait was 100% worth it!! The sunscreen goes on so smoothly and evenly, and I feel like I will be saving soooo much sunscreen now that I'm not just squirting a huge glob in my hands and spending so much time trying to rub in a ridiculous amount into mine and my children's skin. Also, my sister-in-law hates the feel of sunscreen on her hands, so this was perfect for her. My only regret is that I wish I would have bought a couple more so that I could have different ones for each of the sunscreens we use! But I will be recommending these to everyone! THANK YOU!!" —Carmen
Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in four colors and in two-packs).
6. A toothbrush holder and dispenser so you can avoid a mountain of toothpaste from accumulating around your sink. And, it mounts on the wall so it frees up space on your counter — it's a win-win.
This includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. I would definitely recommend for a family or kids' bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-tips, or flossers." —Sariyah J
Get it from Amazon for $17.44 (available in three colors).
7. An Oogiebear nose and ear cleaner that'll help with some of the more gross parts of parenthood no one really warned you about. This cute (and genius) tool will help you scoop out boogers from your kiddo's nose and wax out of their ears without going in too far.
And if you want to see how it works, check out this baby getting their ear cleaned in this TikTok video.
Promising review: "As a new mom, I started out with the typical nasal aspirator (suction bulb), but my son absolutely HATED it. Next I tried nasal drops, and they didn’t work either. I saw a bunch of TikToks recommending the Oogie Bear, so I decided to try it, and I don’t regret it at all. It is by far the BEST. I could take out a booger in literally 1 second, and it doesn’t bother my son so he’s not screaming his head off. It could also be used to clean ears! Highly recommend!" —Angelina
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
8. The Car Seat Key, because it can be so difficult to unbuckle your child's seatbelt with long nails. Now, you won't have to struggle to get your kiddo out or ruin your mani.
Promising review: "After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out the car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I’d have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out and omg!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it but once I did I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! Lol If you’ve been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It’s worth it!" —Tora318
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in eight colors and in packs of two and three).
9. A LeapFrog 100 Words Book, aka an interactive book that will help your child learn the alphabet and words. It has fun sounds, images, lights and activities to prevent that *boredom meltdown.*
Promising review: "This was a recommended product I saw off Facebook and again on TikTok — so I had to see if the hype was worth it. IT IS WORTH IT! My toddler (almost 2) loves the book for the sounds and names of all the categories in the book. This is a great book to gift others with toddlers or to help your little one develop. I love this!" —Megan C.
Get it from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in six styles and in two packaging options).
10. A baby nail trimmer to make clipping your baby's nails less terrifying, if you're always worried about nicking their fingers. This genius tool uses a sanding disc to gently file nails.
11. A squeeze-proof food and juice box holder, because no matter how many times your little one spills their drink all over themselves, they just can't seem to resist squeezing a pouch of Capri-Sun. This has handles so they can hold their juice or food pouches easier, and it'll prevent them from making a mess.
And see all the ways you can use this hold in this TikTok video.
Promising review: "Honestly, I saw a TikTok about this, and since I have a 9-month-old who LOVES to squeeze pouches all over the place, this is fantastic! The handles are so easy for little ones, it slides into place, and you can even re-seal it while it’s in the holder. Super neat piece of plastic. I bought another one to have just in case!" —Mike West
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors and packs of two).
12. A sandwich cutter and sealer so you can make your own Smucker's Uncrustables at home, which is way cheaper and more convenient than rushing to the store every time you run out of them.
13. A spinning snack container for your always hungry kiddo so they'll always have a variety of snacks at their fingertips.
14. An Oxo Tot space-saving drying rack with an upright design so it'll take up wayyy less room. It has nine drying hooks and a removable top compartment for lids and smaller items.
Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on TikTok. I love this drying rack. It's perfect for the few bottles and pumping parts after I clean them! Takes up very little counter space, which I love!" —Kc10
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in bundles with a bottle brush, dishwasher basket, or a baby wipe dispenser).
15. A grape cutter, because dicing grapes to help reduce the risk of choking is super important but soooooo time consuming. You can get your kiddo's fave snack ready in minutes so they won't have to wait too long to bite into a juicy grape.
16. An as-seen-on-Shark-Tank bite suction tool invented by a mom, that will quickly suck out venom and stingers from bug bites so your child won't have to suffer through a day of nonstop itching.
See it in action on TikTok here.
BTW: This can also be used to remove splinters!
Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and had to get it. I’m super glad I did. My daughter and I always get a ton of mosquito bites, and this helps alleviate the itching as soon as you pull the suction back. It’s great." —Rebekka Talley
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in seven colors and in two- and three-packs).
17. A JellyCap — it can fit on most bottles so your little one can drink their fave juice right out of a bottle without making a mess. And, it can be used with or without a straw. This will come in clutch if you don't want to carry a sippy cup while on vacay or while running errands. Oh BTW, it also works on yogurt bottles!
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these jelly caps! I found them on TikTok and knew it would be perfect for my son! He’s 4 and I’m always forgetting to bring his cup. He’s autistic and struggles when drinking from a bottle. These fit great on his happy meal milk from McDonald’s as well as every bottled water I’ve tried! Only down side is it takes a smaller straw than you get at the store. But to fix then I always put the straw in from the “bottom” before placing it on the bottle! 10/10 recommend! Just buy them!" —Nikki
Get a set of three from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two color combinations).
18. A compact hand vacuum so you don't have to drag a heavy vacuum around the house all day cleaning up messes your child leaves behind. This is perfect for when your child spills glitter 😳 all over the table during art time or gets crumbs all over the couch while snacking.
Promising review: "Another 'TikTok made me buy' purchase. I absolutely love this thing. It helps with cleaning my daughter’s desk since she’s homeschooling and easy to use to clean inside of drawers." —Manisha Roopnarine
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in five colors).
19. A cute color-changing whale nightlight to help your little one sleep a little more soundly if they're scared of the dark. And, when your kiddo taps it, it will change colors! Plus, it's squishy and soft — no need to worry if your child wants to carry it around.
Promising review: "Adorable! I love all of the colors and how there are no batteries needed, you charge it through USB. It's soft and doesn’t have anything that can be swallowed so it’s perfect for little ones. I should mention I bought this for my teenage children who love it too. They saw it on TikTok." —DentalDork
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
20. A Tushbaby hip carrier so you can carry your mini when they want to cling to you. You'll be able to provide the comfort they need while also preventing back strain. It's a win-win.
It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face. Tushbaby is a small business you may have seen on SharkTank.
Check out a TikTok of the Tushbaby hip seat baby carrier.
Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weights around 30–35lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer Calle
Get it from Amazon for $84.99+ (available in four styles).
21. Some reusable water balloons made of eco-friendly material that can be reused over and over. No need to turn down a water balloon fight because you'll never run out, and these are better for the planet. Go ahead...throw a few of these, I know you want to.
Promising review: "The adults in this house love water balloons but not the mess….. plus with toddlers around, it didn’t quite make sense to have water balloons but we saw a random video on TikTok and HAD to find reusable water balloons to try out. These were the first ones we bought to try out, and WHOA we were blown away! Super easy to for the 2- and 3-year-old to use, which means more fun for all of us!! Do not think twice or continue with regular water balloons, you’ll waste precious time cleaning up and filling that could be used to make memories." —Taurus
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of six, 12, 16, 18, and 20).
22. A sleep-training alarm clock, because it uses colors and facial expressions to help your child get used to a routine. It'll let your kiddo know when it's time to wake up, time to sleep, and when to get out of bed. Parents love it because it encourages their little one to stay in bed if they wake up too early.
Promising review: "My 2-year-old started getting up at 6:30 instead of 7:30 and was ready for the day. I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered it and explained to him how if Mella is red, we have to sleep, and when Mella turns green, it’s time to play. The first night he sat up a couple times in the night and looked at it and laid back down. We’ve been using it for almost a week, and he stays in bed until it’s green without any crying or complaining, so it fixed my problem so fast! You do have to toggle the night light on to red if you want it in all night. You could choose other colors too, but red and green worked well since he has a car set with red and green stop lights, so easy connection. Anyways, I highly recommend it! He loves to check on Mella during the day and see if it’s asleep." —Mpt2
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).
23. A Contigo spill-proof tumbler that'll actually keep its promise and won't leak. Even if your kiddo shakes it while it's upside down, not a drop of water will escape — you're welcome!
Promising review: "I saw this cup on TikTok and knew my 2-1/2-year-old needed it or better yet I NEEDED it! It is totally spill-proof and drop proof! It's been thrown and dropped a lot and still going strong! I haven’t had any issuing a cleaning it yet🤞🏼" —Hannah Lombardi
Get it from Amazon for $10.47+ (available in various prints and two-packs).
24. A cute Boon cacti bottle cleaning brush set if you don't want your entire home to look like your baby runs everything. You won't mind displaying this on your counter because it hides necessary (but no-so-cute) brushes to clean bottles, sippy cups, and pump parts.
Promising review: "I love this product. I got it because of all the hype on TikTok, but I gotta say I actually find it a really nice way to display my bottle and accessories cleaner. It matches perfect with my boom grass. Makes my kitchen feel warm" —DIPC
Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in three styles, as well as just replacement brushes).
25. A car video monitor so you can check on your baby when you stop or pullover without having to crane your neck or adjust your mirrors.
Just a note to please keep your eyes on the road when the car is in motion!
Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and knew I wanted to try it. I LOOOOOVE this product! I hate trying to use my rear view mirror to look into her mirror to make sure she’s okay. The quality of the video is great for the price, and I can easily see if my infant has spit up or I can see her mouth to shove a paci in if needed. I can see details like if her eyes are open or closed. The night vision isn’t too bad but not as detailed but you can see enough. But overall for the price, I would buy this product again hands-down." —Michael Giblin
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
26. A Smily Mia Penguin pacifier that stays on your baby's hand so they can stop chewing their fingers or constantly dropping their pacifier. It's made of super-soft silicone and designed to mimic a boob.
