21 Target Products For Stress-Free Parenting
A Dash egg cooker that will be your absolute favorite thing — no matter what time of day it is. Choose how you want the eggs cooked, set the time, and wait for it to go off. It makes breakfast a breeze, but adding hard-boiled eggs to the lunchboxes is also a great way to add protein. Promising review: "I love this little egg cooker! I used it for hard-boiled eggs, and It cooked the eggs perfectly! The best thing is that they peeled easily! No more tiny pieces of shells that you have to pick off. Easy cleanup, lightweight little machine, and easy to store away." —PBPrice: $16.99 A pack of stainless steel wipes because cleaning can bring the calm. And while you absolutely cherish your little's sweet handprints, you'd rather see them on arts and crafts projects than on your appliances. Promising review: "I've tried a few different stainless steel cleaners, and by far, this one from Weiman is top of the mark! I even use it on my sink when it's wet, and it always dries to a beautiful shine when used on my enamel stove. It is the best for cleaning stainless-steel and kitchen appliances! Thank you, Weiman, you're the best!" —KatPrice: $4.79 An apple slicer that makes 16 perfect, thin, snack-size slices every single time. Listen, kids demand a LOT of snacks, so you'll want this secret weapon in your tool belt. Promising review: "This slicer works great! I love how smooth it cuts regardless of the shape of the apple. I also love that it has the bottom part to finish, pushing it through at the end. Last, I purposely bought it for the smaller slices, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend for moms and anyone else who loves apple slices for snacks and meals." —Toddler MomPrice: $12.79 A trusty little iRobot Roomba vacuum-and-mop combo that will quietly do two of your least favorite chores for you — and it's probably much more effective than having your dog eat any food that your baby threw on the ground. Yes, you really do need to clean under the table. Promising review: "The fringe on the rugs is no problem. I was very worried about that. It can get under furniture our vacuum cleaner could never reach. The mop works better than the robot mop I have had for many years." —MCL Price: $299.99 (originally $349.99) A bottle of Dreft laundry stain remover because you don't have time to sit there soaking and scrubbing stains in onesies — this will get the tomato sauce out of your baby's finest duds. (And it works great for your clothes, too!) Promising review: "We're potty training and always spray our poopy undies and pants with this before they go in the wash, and they always come out clean (even after sitting a couple of days in a plastic bag sent from school — yuck!)." —LaMomPrice: $3.99 A Baby Bjorn bouncer so you can have a safe place to put your baby in those times when you just need a *minute.* As your little one gets bigger, they'll love bouncing and kicking — it is seriously just the cutest. When you're done (for now!) fold it up for easy storage. Promising review: "Best bouncer, love how portable this bouncer is. There are adjustments to make the seat lower or higher. It also folds for easy storage! My baby loves this bouncer!" —AlexisPrice: $169.99 (originally $209.99) A Regalo baby gate with a pressure mount that's easy to install and easy for grown-ups to open. It's great at keeping kids away from stairs and other dangerous spots in your home. Ours was secure and stayed up until we closed the metaphorical gate on the baby-and-toddler years (sigh). Promising review: "Very easy setting up and putting it together. It fits well between our hallway to the kitchen and is sturdy. Would recommend if you need a baby gate!" —JzimboPrice: $44.99 A Shark cordless pet pro stick vacuum because the suction on this thing is STRONG and, frankly, works great if you're sucking up Goldfish crumbs and dried-out Play-Doh, too. Promising review: "I use this several times a week. Its ability to vacuum my carpet and wood floors and its flexibility to take it outside to my car is priceless! I've had it for at least four years now and it works just as great as the first time I used it." —Motema021Price: $229.99 (originally $299.99) A super durable and leakproof kids' bento box, which will actually help you organize your brain and figure out what you need to put in there. Pssst: If you want to include a sweet treat, M&Ms look pretty cute in the circle compartment. Promising review: "I purchased this for my 7-year-old daughter. She had been asking for it after seeing some friends at her school lunch use one. She loves it! She specifically likes that her food stays in its own compartment and doesn't touch. She is a very picky eater, so this is a way to get her to help me get creative and think of ideas for each section. She takes it five days a week to school and has been very happy. No leaks!! Easy to open on her own. Very easy to clean." —mommymoPrice: $29.99 (available in eight colors) And a surprisingly sleek and durable spill-proof snack cup that is perfect for little clumsy, adorable little hands. The backseat of your car will thank you. Promising review: "Awesome snack cups. Prevents my toddler from grabbing a fistful of snacks and prevents messes." —BriennaPrice: $13.99 (available in four colors) A no-touch thermometer for those times you need to take your sleeping child's temperature during a nap or at night without waking them you worked SO HARD to get them to sleep, and if you wake them up, there's a solid chance you might both cry. Promising review: "This is the best thermometer I have ever used! It is very easy to use; my 8-year-old can easily take someone's temperature. It does not take long to take the temperature and can easily be taken while someone is sleeping. I highly recommend it for any age." —bwilkes9Price: $54.99 A Nanit Pro smart baby monitor designed to give every new parent the data they need to know about the most precious thing: sleep. Not only will you get insights and tips about your sweetie's slumber, but you can also monitor your baby's breathing. Psst: You can use your FSA or HSA for this one. Promising review: "Highly recommend this camera!! So many details about when baby wakes, falls asleep, and how many times you tended to baby. Love all the data!" —MollymPrice: $299.99 A TonieBox starter set that comes with a Toy Story Tonie. This has been a staple in our home for YEARS now — my kiddos love choosing what music and stories they get to listen to, and the Tonies (sold separately) come in all of their favorite characters. And you just got yourself 20 minutes of peace. Promising review: "I absolutely love the Tonie; I think it's a great idea and perfect for kids. The Tonie box itself is soft and easy to use. You can switch tracks by bumping the box and volume by tugging an ear. It is great for kids of many ages and the Tonies you can get are great. It is educational and would make a great gift." —Annienicole7Price: $99.99 A 4-in-1 convertible baby carrier for those moments when all you really need is an extra set of hands. Strap your little to your chest or back, and you've got your own hands back. Promising review: "Great basic carrier! Super easy to use and adjust! Also very easy to store and take anywhere. The quality is great and comfy for my baby." —AshleyPrice: $25.49 (available in six colors) A folding travel potty seat because your little one is going to have to go. (Probably at a really inconvenient time!) Now, you're prepared. Keep this one in the trunk. Promising review: "This is seriously such a brilliant little invention. The carrying bag makes this easy to pop into a diaper bag or an overnight bag instead of carting around an entire potty seat. The suction cups make it so it doesn't slip and slide on different toilet seats. This has been the easiest way to make sure we don't get behind on potty training while visiting family members this holiday season!" —HaleyPrice: $14.99 (available in three colors) A car seat organizer that you can stock with games, water bottles, a tablet, and more. It will keep the kids entertained, but it won't stop them from a) asking you if you're there yet and b) telling you that they need to go to the bathroom at the worst time. Promising review: "Perfect for having stash of toys, snacks, drinks in the car going to park or traveling. May need to get another one once our second baby gets a bit older." —KRPrice: $18.29 A 6-quart Instant Pot, which is basically like having a sous chef on staff because this 9-in-1 appliance does it put itself in the dishwasher for cleanup (but the lid and inner pot are dishwasher safe)! Promising review: "Time and life saver! I get out of work late, so this helps put dinner on the table and in bellies at an appropriate hour. Love it and can't wait to try out all the functions!" —ReviewerPrice: $129.99 A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that's giving actual magic with its ability to remove stains and scuffs around the house, both old and new. This thing is especially an MVP if your littles are prone to creating beautiful wall murals for you when you're not looking. Promising review: "The holy grail of cleaning products!! Took all the marks off of our walls before moving out!" —ClewisPrice: $3.29+ (available in sets of two or four) A woven storage ottoman from Studio McGee, which we all know is the real way to keep a house with kids in it picked up and clean. No one will ever know that you were frantically running around the room, throwing clutter into your ottoman just minutes before guests arrived. Promising review: "The size is perfect!! It is sturdy, so you can use it as a little accent table or footrest. Great purchase." —HmPrice: $100 (available in two colors) A stroller organizer that's basically an extension of your home (it's going to have to hold a LOT of stuff). Bonus: This caddy has two insulated beverage holders — one for your caffeine (or grown-up juice) and the other for your baby's bottle. Promising review: "I love it! So helpful with everything I carry with the stroller. Would def buy again!" —EvelynPrice: $23.49 A rechargeable, Bluetooth-enabled children's toothbrush with an accompanying app that will get your kiddos pretty pumped to brush their teeth each day and night. Clean teeth without a fight? Take that win. Promising review: "This is the most incredible toothbrush for any kid who has any issues brushing. The app is a great, fun tool my little one loves. She now looks forward to brushing and has brushed twice in a row just to get a gift from her sparkly." —TCPrice: $29.99 (originally $34.99; available in two colors)

A toddler tower so your little one can safely reach the counter, and you can make those picture-perfect memories baking cookies together. We have used this for both our kids, and it has lasted us for years! Target Promising review:"We personally own two of these towers, one for each toddler. My daughter has been using hers for two years now, and it's been a game-changer. She is able to cook with me, learn how to make food from scratch and have fun in the kitchen.

A Regalo baby gate with a pressure mount that's easy to install and easy for grown-ups to open. It's great at keeping kids away from stairs and other dangerous spots in your home. Ours was secure and stayed up until we closed the metaphorical gate on the baby and toddler years (sigh). Target 5.

A Frida Mom keep-cool pregnancy pillow that is an absolute must-have for expecting parents. And if you always run hot while sleeping, you might want to keep this one on the bed even when you're not pregnant. It's so soothing! Target Promising review:"OMG!! This is my fourth pregnancy and I almost didn't get another pregnancy pillow because I haven't loved any previous ones. A friend recommended this one, and GAME-CHANGER!! It's not super bulky, contours to your body easily, and is actually cooling (like the flip side of the pillow)! I love it — worth every penny for your baby bump!!" — Brittany C 10. A two-pack of faucet extenders because hand washing is so important during cold season, and your back isn't meant to hoist several children closer to a sink over and over again. Target 11. A waterproof mattress cover you'll appreciate whenever you're getting up in the middle of the night to discover a diaper blowout. With this durable cover keeping everything clean, you might even be able to reuse the crib mattress, too! Target 12. A space-saving vertical bottle rack, because you will 100% lose all your living room space to the kids, but you don't have to lose your kitchen counter, too! Also, file this under things you can keep using long after you put away the bottles (sippy cups, sports water Promising review:"I originally started with using the grass drying rack but had to wash it every day because the water would pool in the tray, and it wasn't very sanitary. This rack has been a lifesaver! I wish I would have started with it. It stands perfectly by itself and holds a good bit! My only complaint is that the top pegs are a little too close to the basket for my Avent bottles to fit very well. Overall, I would highly recommend!" — Reviewer Price: $25.99 13. A stroller organizer for your stroller that's basically an extension of your home (it's going to have to hold a LOT of stuff). Bonus: This caddy has two insulated beverage holders — one for your caffeine (or grown-up juice) and the other for your baby's bottle. Target Promising review:"I love this item. I was scared it wasn't going to fit my stroller, but it fit perfectly!! My stroller doesn't have anywhere to put my phone or a water bottle, and this is perfect!!!" — Ana Price: $25.99 14. A no-touch thermometer for those times you need to take your sleeping child's temperature during a nap or at night without waking them you worked SO HARD to get them to sleep, and if you wake them up, there's a solid chance you might both cry. Target 15. An "OK to Wake" clock — it uses a green light system to let your kids know if it's time to get out of bed. (Or not!) Maybe you will actually get an extra hour of sleep in the mornings... which is honestly more valuable than gold on those super busy days. Target Promising review:"A great first alarm clock for were excited to use it and learned pretty quickly. This saves me some time in the morning by getting them up for me." — Olivia 16. An all-in-one kneeler and elbow saver, which TBH, is PURE GENIUS. Bath time can be so fun for L.O.s (once you manage to get them in the tub, of course), but it can be a literal pain for grown-ups. Now you just need a splash guard. Target Promising review:"This product definitely is convenient while you bend down to bathe baby. My knees have appreciated this product." — Sib Price: $28.99 17. A travel stroller that folds up so small it can fit in the overhead compartment on a plane. A stroller might as well be a second car — it holds and hauls all of your most important stuff, and we're not just talking about your kiddo. Target Promising review:"The Munchkin Sparrow Stroller is a true gem! Its lightweight design and remarkable compactness make it a breeze to handle. I love how it effortlessly fits into the back compartment of my Honda Pilot, adding convenience to my daily outings. Highly recommended for its practicality and ease of use." — Vadamama 18. An Eddie Bauer backpack diaper bag because backpack > shoulder bag, especially when it comes to staying balanced while holding a baby on your hip. This backpack can hold everything you need — changing supplies, toys, snacks, spare clothes for baby, a spare shirt for YOU. (This is the voice of experience. Trust.) Target 20. A freestanding playpen, which will be your actual favorite item in your home if you have extremely curious and on-the-move babies or toddlers (or both). Real talk: You can finally go to the bathroom in peace. Target Promising review:"My daughter is on the move, and our house isn't fully baby-proofed yet. This gate is helpful to keep her in her play area!" — biagionik22 Price: $69.99 21. A rolling cart that can be anything you need it to be! It's a diaper station, a pumping/feeding station, a clothes sorter, etc. This parenting thing? Oh yeah, you're on a roll now. Target Promising review:"For the price, this cart is fantastic. I purchased and used this cart for breastfeeding/pumping. It's easy to organize my stuff because small baskets fit easily on the shelves. I love that it's open so I can see everything. The wheels I'd give a 4/5, as they have some trouble getting from hard floor to carpet. I usually just pick the cart up to go on carpet. This is perfect for moving short distances, like at home or in a classroom." — Liz Price: $40 (available in three colors) 22. A Graco Pack 'n Play that's a true classic for a reason — it's a safe and sturdy place for the baby to sleep or play, and it's so easy to transport that you can use it at home or on the road. This is your BFF in those moments when you desperately just need to go to the bathroom and have 30 seconds to yourself. Also, they last FOREVER. Target Promising review:"I wanted a simple playpen to use in our living room during the day. It's small and compact without having all those extras that you don't really need. Design is cute too." — Pinkywinky Price: $59.99 (available in four patterns/colors) 23. A Nanit Pro smart baby monitor designed to give every new parent the data they need to know about the most precious thing: sleep. Not only will you get insights and tips about your sweetie's slumber, but you can also monitor your baby's breathing. Psst: You can use your FSA or HSA for this one. Target Promising review:"Highly recommend this camera!! So many details about when baby wakes, falls asleep, how many times you tended to baby. Love all the data!" — Mollym Price: $249.99 (originally $299.99) 24. A four-pack of Re-Play divided plates to make feeding your littles even easier. This is the brand my family has used for more than five years, so I can personally speak to their durability and let me tell the real deal. Target Promising review:"Just bought another set! I love these plates. I already owned probably about 10 of these and just bought the earthy colored set. These are the best! The ones I've had for YEARS still look new/great! They are not just toddler plates. Even my 6-year-old uses them, and they're still big enough for him. Kids of any age can use these. I can't brag about these plates enough. They are hands down the best." — amberlar96 Price: $9.99 25. A NoseFrida nasal aspirator, which honestly makes you want to vomit when you think about it, but when your little snuggle bug has a stuffy nose and can't sleep, you will do ANYTHING. And this thing? Yeah, it gets the job done. Before you get grossed out thinking about reusing it, just know it comes with replacement filters! Target Promising review:"This sounds gross, right? I had such a 🤮 reaction to this. Then my daughter got severe congestion, and nothing would help. As a last resort, we caved in. And it was a glorious relief. So much came out, and this became our savior. This is an item we always give to expecting parents now." — Dani Price: $14.99 The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
