A pacifier-style baby medicine dispenser sure to work as well as sugar to help the medicine go down. Not only is this far more comfortable for your baby, but the elongated nipple helps prevent them from tasting the medicine. There's nothing worse than your baby spitting up their meds without you knowing how much they actually got! This many problems.

This has adjustable straps and includes a lead for keeping your kids nearby when out and about. A travel bottle warmer that'll work with both wide and standard-sized bottles. This keeps water hot for *literally* hours. No electricity needed! No need to suffer with a crying, hungry babe who refuses to drink a chilled has got you covered.

And an all-terrain stroller so lightweight and compact it'll fit in the overhead bin on a plane. When your kid has been on a flight for hours, waiting for a stroller to be retrieved from storage after you deplane may feel like a millennium. Plus, this stroller can conquer all the cobblestone streets or rocky gravel paths your next outing may take you on! A fancy touchless forehead thermometer to take anyone's temperature in seconds — and without bothering them if they're getting some needed rest or sleep. Miss Mouth, a travel-friendly stain spray (with a whopping 48,000 five-star reviews!) named with the messiest eaters in mind, for those of us who need a stain remover that understands our struggles. This is a baby-safe product that works on grease, coffee, underwear, and food stains with ease. An Ergobaby carrier designed with enhanced lumbar support and a *superb* airflow-friendly design. This parenting MUST is sure to keep you and your kiddo comfortable when you're out and about — until they're 45 lbs! And a hip seat sling that'll keep you from straining your back and exhausting your arms when your kid cries as if the floor is lava when you try getting them to walk on their own. Reviewers consider this a must-have product when taking a toddler to Disneyland (which I know from personal research because I impulse-bought this while planning my kid's trip to Disney). A car baby monitor (with a spiffy 14,000+ 5-star reviews!) that'll help you instantly know what's going on with your baby in the backseat without adjusting mirrors or turning back to see what's going on (when the car is stopped, of course). Stay safe on the road with your little one, and keep them *easily* within sight! A JetKids ride-on carry-on suitcase you may feel all braggy about when you see other parents at the airport with exhausted kids who are sick of traveling before they even board. This wheeled suitcase is specifically designed so your toddler can safely sit *while* wheeling them around the airport. That's not all! Once you're in your seats, this transforms into a leg rest or in-flight bed to give your kids some extra space. Long-haul flights are about to get a smidge more manageable. A Snoo, the award-winning pediatrician-developed bassinet that'll become a trusted companion. It's designed to recognize and respond when your baby fusses at night, playing white noise and rocking them back to sleep. If you want, you'll be able to connect to the sleep app and keep track of your infant's sleep cycle. The app will also alert you if your baby can't be settled by the bassinet and needs some human attention. A leave-in conditioning spray for curly hair with no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates so you can de-tangle your kid's tough knots with something scalp-safe and nourishing. And a detangling brush that has over 64,000 5-star reviews! There's no need to brush off your kid's (and TBH, YOUR) tears when their tangles try and ruin your morning. Use this pain-free option instead. You are ~knot~ losing to bedhead anymore! A snack spinner for enticing even the pickiest of eaters to add more foods to their *rotation* at home or on the go. An Oxo diaper wipes dispenser sure to be a beloved addition to your changing station.

An easy-to-clean Hatch changing pad with a scale so you can monitor your baby's weight while changing their diaper. Before I had a baby, I didn't even realize monitoring their weight was a thing, but (after dangling my infant inside a scarf from a luggage scale) I wish I'd known and had this. It connects to an app on your phone so you can collect and track the data over time, helping you seem really on top of things at your pediatrician appointments. A Luli Bebé backpack — a diaper bag in disguise — complete with waterproof pockets and a wipeable surface. Plus, there's so much space inside, you're sure to know you've got everything you need in one (chic) spot. A Kiddie Couch for families with infants, toddlers, and even tweens who love pillow forts with a passion. I can personally say this is THE product to keep your kids entertained indoors. The sturdy cushions transform from a sofa you come up with! At my house, we've made mountains, houses, tables, karaoke stages, airplanes, stuffed animal corals, and SO much more. An electric steam sterilizer and dryer that uses natural steam to keep your baby bottles clean with hot, filtered air to dry them. This claims to kill 99.9% of germs while only taking six minutes to sterilize! The total sterilization process takes just 10 minutes and the touch of a button. If you have washed baby bottles before, you know what a need this time-saving sterilizer is! The Nanit Superior Sleep Set for new parents who are about to switch their Netflix nights to baby-monitor staring sessions, just to make sure the kid doesn't get abducted by aliens in the night. This connects to an app so you can keep an eye on your little tyke wherever you are. It also has two-way communication, a night-light, plays music, and includes a motion and breathing monitor, so you'll know when they're awake or simply wiggling around as they dream away. A 360-degree spill-proof cup designed with a game-changing silicone top that can be sipped from any spot (hence the 360 name). The sealed top is non-spill on its own, unlike pop-lid sippy cups. The water comes out from the very edge and only when sucked. This teaches your kiddo how to drink from a traditionally shaped cup very early and without the need for a straw. Sip, sip, hooray! A pack of sink extenders to make hand washing less of a chore for your child... and your back. A Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine you can use as a two-way audio monitor, a night-light, a white noise machine, an alarm clock, and a sleep trainer. This lovely little light can glow red, which is less alarming than other bright lights, so your baby doesn't wake all the way up from harsh overhead lighting. This can be your companion during early morning diaper changes and late-night feedings, helping soothe the whole family through those wild infant hours. A car trash can sure to save the day (and your upholstery) from suckers, soda bottles, and all the other sticky substances your kids sneak into the car. It turns out cupholders are, in fact, not tiny trash cans. A bath toy thermometer that'll be a crucial part of your baby's bath time routine. Making sure the water is a safe temperature *also* keeps their body temp in the safe zone. Plus, this guarantees your kiddo is comfortable while they splash around and learn what water is. *The* Nurture& Glider Plus swivels, rocks, and has TikTok parents (and this very BuzzFeed writer) going wild. This unreasonably chic recliner is gonna be a bright and airy addition to your home. Its electric design adjusts the footrest, posture, and headrest with the push of a button. Plus, the fabric is stain-resistant. It even has a USB port so you can charge your phone without even leaving your seat. This is the only chair anyone needs. And *everybody* needs it. An anxiety-eliminating baby gate — this gate features a pressure mount, so you won't have to drill holes into your wall to keep it secure. It's easy to install and easy for adults to open with one hand, which you'll definitely be thankful for when you're trying to carry your toddler and open it at the same time. An interactive routine board from Charmspring — this unreasonably cute calendar is a great visual for your living room, keeping your kids' schedule within eyesight so they don't get overwhelmed by surprise events and expectations. A portable white noise machine with soothing, spa-like sounds that are sure to help calm your kiddo when they're sleeping in an unfamiliar place. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers so you can blame the sticker when you tell your kids they've gotta stop playing and re-apply. And a refillable roll-on sponge sunscreen applicator sure to make putting on sunscreen (both on your kids *and* on yourself) less of a chore. This goes on fast and blends in easily — no mess required! An ergoPouch sleep sack that'll convert from a swaddle sleep sack — with their arms tucked in — and adjust to a toddler-friendly sleep sack once your baby is old enough to roll over. The design'll keep your baby safe, snug, and (thanks to clear TOG *thermal overall grade* ratings) the right temperature all night long! A toilet target light with a motion sensor and clear projection — this is sure to make potty training a bright spot in your child's life. Biteables meals from Little Spoon for families who want their babies and toddlers to eat a diverse range of meals that are even easier to prepare than a trip to the drive-through. Each meal is crafted to help your kiddo develop a taste for nutritionally rich meals from the get-go. Plus, each type of food is split up into its own space in super cute(!!) triangular trays i.e. *not touching* because Little Spoon knows they know how to avoid a mealtime tantrum before it starts. An automatic baby swing with several different rocking and sound options (my baby's favorite was the "road trip" setting) — this is here to soothe your sweetheart when you need an extra set of hands. Place them in the rocker within eyesight, and it's gonna be a great spot for a few minutes of baby-free laundry folding, dishwashing, eating... two arms really aren't enough. A Doona car seat stroller that'll convert from a safe and cozy car seat into a stroller simply by popping out the legs! You'll no longer bother your baby by moving them from their car seat when you're out and about. A set of lovely silicone baby bottles from Boon Nursh for parents who, like me, want *useful* baby products that are also easy on the eyes. A pack of corner guards, a baby-proofing solution that can make sharp surfaces safe while still letting your style stay sharp. If you have a tendency to bump and bruise your body against your sharp-edged furniture, this little goo can also save you! Lalo's Bathtime Starter kit with a pouring cup, a spout cover, and a two-piece starter basin. All products are made with nontoxic plastic. The basin has a foam backrest and a small cupped seat for newborns and infants. Once your child has grown out of it, the top can be removed and the base becomes an open area for your toddler to bathe in. A Bella Velio bike from Early Rider (the OG balance bike creators) with a bubbly design that's almost *too* darling. Thanks to its wide-wheeled structure, your toddler can confidently learn to balance while wobbling around the block. Learning these skills early makes teaching them how to ride a bike a *cinch* when they're older! A set of three nylon kitchen knives — with these, your sous chef is able to chop 'til they drop (without hurting any of their adorable digits) if they insist on "helping" with dinner. A sleep-training alarm clock sure to make rule-following seem positively perky! This'll display darling tiny robot facial expressions and glowing colors to let your kids know when it's time to sleep and when it's okay to get up and *sigh*...wake the parents. And finally, a TikTok famous crawling crab that'll clatter across the living room, enticing little ones (kids AND pets) to chase it around the room or simply watch it for ages. Need a moment to yourself? This crab has you covered.

49 Pretty, Practical, And Precious Products That May Be Just The Thing You Need This Spring
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Check out this bike stroller, aesthetic iced coffee sleeve, sidewalk chalk, microwavable manatee, K9 raincoat *breaths*, and so much more stuff you'll find useful and fun this spring. 1. A Java Sock that'll do the two most important things for your beloved iced coffees ( drinks. I know people drink other drinks!) 1) It'll keep that caramel almond milk cold brew cold for ages — hours, according to reviewers — and 2) It'll keep your drink from sweating into your cupholder or all over your desk. It's a cruel twist of fate that iced coffee sweats as much as we do in the spring and summer. Promising review:"I was hesitant to buy this but I absolutely love it! It keeps my drinks cold for hours, the ice stays solid without watering the drinks down, and it prevents condensation. Perfect for iced coffee, soda, or any glass cup. The patterns are adorable as well. I loved it so much I had to order another for my other car!" — Marta Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and several styles). 2. A pack of wall plant clips (a whopping SIXTY of them, in fact) sure to delight pothos-lovers who have vines wrapped around every nook and cranny of their living room, just waiting for the day when they can spread out around the room. These gentle clips are paint-safe and sticky on the back, so you can display vines without using nails or aesthetic-killing clips. Promising review:"I have used them for both plants and light cables. The leaf design blends in nicely and looks decorative. They stick well on smooth walls, but a few lost grip over time — best for light vines. Still, they're creative and serve different purposes." — Daniela Gomez Get a pack of 60 from Amazon for $6.49. 3. A too-fun-to-be-so-functional Doona Liki Trike you can start using when your child is as young as 10 months! It grows with your child, transforming into a tricycle for kids up to 3 years old. This can make your "stroller" rides feel more engaging and fun for your kiddo, while still being an easy outing for you! BuzzFeeder Shopping contributor Chandini Reddy says: "I'm not sure who's more OBSESSED with our Liki toddler or me? My active toddler, who absolutely hates being strapped into his stroller, loves that it allows him to sit upright and steer the handles (while I push him), making him feel like he's in control and going on an adventure. It has made trips to the park/mall/zoo so much easier because it is lighter than our stroller *and* folds up tiny, taking up minimal trunk space. (We also took it on a flight recently and were amazed at how easily it fit in the airplane overhead bin!) My fave feature is how seamlessly it steers. Unlike other trikes, you don't need to awkwardly force it to change directions. In fact, my 5-year-old has no trouble navigating my 2-year-old around the park. The best part? My little one is so happy riding around on this thing that he's had barely any meltdowns when we're out and about. I'd say that's a huge win!" Get it from Amazon for $250+ (available in multiple colors and styles). 4. Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads, a beloved Korean skincare secret with a magical mix of lactic and salicylic acid that'll redefine what "smooth" means to your skin. The dual-textured toner pads both exfoliate and refine your pores, making your face feel positively silky soft. Promising review:"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily and it's been a couple of weeks and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value and I'll definity be repurchasing these." — Ee El Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17 (available in five other styles). 5. A snazzy faux book display made out of reclaimed materials. This sneaky storage space is hollowed out, so it'll hide unsightly cords (or that pile of mail you don't know what to do with). This'll make your shelves look spick-and-span this spring — without any organizational effort. Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books. Promising review: "This is perfect for hiding our router and accessories in our bookcase. Love it!" — supergirl Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29. 6. A microwavable manatee plush — you're sure to warm up to this little pal in an instant. Whether you're feeling freezy or aching from period pains, this *lavender-scented* critter is gonna be the solution. Just toss it into the microwave and then snuggle up! Aches, chills, and lack-of-a-manatee-friend loneliness are gonna be gone in an instant! 7. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical strength formula that'll last up to seven days (!!!) for folks who get seasonal depression whenever the sun has them sweatin' it for no good reason. As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months! Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two and three). 8. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids — I don't care how old you are, if your Band-Aids are cute your cuts and scrapes hurt less and heal faster. I don't know the science behind it, but it's definitely sound. And this flexible fabric floral collection? It's sure to work twice as well. Amazon Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. 9.

Promising review: "I have been lazy with my makeup routine as of lately, so having a multi-stick and not having to whip out a brush and brush has been so helpful. I like how I can just swipe this on my cheeks and rub in with my fingertips. It gives a beautiful flush to the cheek area. This product has no smell that I can tell, which I am happy for. I love that this product is clean, and I can feel good about using it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-made product that is not only good for the world, but good for the face." — Brittany0890 Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $36 (available in 12 shades and radiant or shimmer finishes). 16.

This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!!

Ordered three altogether. They are tough, cute, and keep my dogs dry. I have purchased other flimsy raincoats that did not keep my dogs dry. I am extremely pleased with these. The little hoods are cute, too. The purpose of the raincoats is so that I only have to dry off their feet when they return from their walk. These sturdy little coats are great.

Skip the time and money at the salon and treat yourself to this instead! Amazon Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa Get two from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes and nine colors). 22.

I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn't see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now." — Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in three sizes, with or without lift, and five shades). 27.

Yes, you do have to use a little bit of effort but the end result was so worth it!" — Shelley Arakaki Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 28.

I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned to be very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles). 30.

I was losing my mind. My husband is a cross country runner and it shows. His calluses get so deep that they split and cause pain. Pumice stones and rasps alone were not getting through. I soaked his feet for 20 minutes then applied this callus remover. After some time I took the rasp to to those feet and look at the difference (before and after images above)! We will do it again, maybe every two weeks. The goal is to smooth out the calluses so they are not so deep, however calluses are needed for runners. Thanks for reading!" — Naomi D.

My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 32.

Note: If you find that your pets are scaring the birds away, one reviewer recommends applying reflective adhesive so the birds can't see in but your fur babes can see the full show. Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels that sneak into it. 😅 It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window.

31 Products You'll Want To Add To Cart ASAP If You Have A Toddler Running Around
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. I may or may not be adding, like, 90% of these to my cart for a few years from now. (The other 10% I already own. 🤷🏼♀️) 1. A food catcher that attaches right to your highchair instead of resting on the floor so you don't have to break your back trying to pick up the collection of strawberries, chicken chunks, and pasta that is probably more than your kid actually ate. Amazon Note: This version is only compatible with the Tripp Trapp high chair, be sure to select the high chair you have to make sure it works! Promising reviews: "I cannot adequately express how necessary this product is. We originally purchased a mat to go under the high chair, but then we were still picking up food from the floor, and it still required us to move the mat after every meal to wipe. The Catchy makes it so easily wipeable, and we don't need to remove it every time." — Lauren Reed "This has been the one item that we are constantly getting complimented on when people come over. It's so so easy to put together and even easier to clean. It saves our rug from when my toddler is throwing/pushing food off her high chair tray. It also provides a nice shelf for my dog to eat all discarded food from." — Bianca Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in four colors and versions for other high chairs). 2. A hip seat baby carrier perfect for new parents or multi-kid parents because this can be used as a traditional carrier for younger kids or as a hip seat for toddlers (aka you can use it for years so really, it's a bargain). Parents love the hip seat for being a way to help take some of the weight off their back and shoulders and make carrying their kiddos wayyy comfier. Amazon I have this carrier, and while I don't have a toddler, I can vouch for it! Having the little seat makes carrying my baby for an extended time much more comfortable because it distributes her weight. She has also become quite the busybody and doesn't like facing in anymore, so I can just put the hip seat on and plop her on, and she can see all around her. Promising review: "I have owned approximately 324 baby carriers over six years with three babies. The reason for so many is because my back hurts terribly after a short while. This is the only one I could literally wear all day and have no issues. My son is currently 20 pounds for reference. Absolutely worth the cost." — Julie M. Get it from Ergobaby for $129 (available in six colors) or from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four colors). 3. A Doona Liki Trike that'll give you the best of both worlds by combining the needs of a stroller with the fun of a bike. Your kiddo can start riding at 10 months, and this bad boy will grow with them until they are 36 (!!) months old by becoming an actual tricycle. Former BuzzFeeder Chandni Reddy says:"I'm not sure who's more OBSESSED with our Liki toddler or me? My active toddler, who absolutely hates being strapped into his stroller, loves that it allows him to sit upright and steer the handles (while I push him) making him feel like he's in control and going on an adventure. It has made trips to the park/mall/zoo so much easier because it is lighter than our stroller *and* folds up tiny taking up minimal trunk space. (We also took it on a flight recently and were amazed at how easily it fit in the airplane overhead bin!) My fave feature is how seamlessly it steers. Unlike other trikes, you don't need to awkwardly force it to change directions. In fact, my 5-year-old has no trouble navigating my 2-year-old around the park. The best part? My little one is so happy riding around on this thing that he's had barely any meltdowns when we're out and about. I'd say that's a huge win!" Get it from Amazon for $250+ (available in many colors and styles). 4. A ~rotating~ convertible car seat your little one can use from the time they are four pounds alllll the way up to 65 pounds!! So, according to girl math, this car seat is basically free (not to mention significantly cheaper than others on the market *ahem* Nuna, but still ~amazing~ quality). And the rotating feature can't be beat when you're trying to wrangle a wiggly toddler and buckle 'em in. This car seat works in both rear- and forward-facing positions with four reclining options. AND!! It rotates a full 360 degrees so you can easily turn it to face you no matter what side or position it's in. Promising review: "We recently upgraded to the Chili Spin 360, and it has made getting our toddler into the car so much easier. I am currently 8 months pregnant, so it has been tough for me to lean into our car to get our 2-year-old into her seat and buckled. Being able to spin her seat toward me makes it way easier to get her in, and she even climbs in herself sometimes. The buckles were easy to adjust and connect. Our toddler also likes to help with that process, but we double-check them! We really liked all the padding that the seat comes with. We don't need all of it for our toddler, but it will be perfect for our infant when he arrives. The part of the base that goes up along the back of the seat does take a little bit of the foot space away from our toddler, but it makes the seat feel way more secure, so it is worth the few inches less of leg room. This seat was easy to install. It had different options for how to connect to your vehicle seat, and we liked the clear instructions on how the seat should be set up for your child's specific weight. We feel more confident in our child's safety when using this car seat, and we definitely recommend it to any of our friends." — Rebecca B. Get it from Babylist for $299.99 (available in three colors). 5. An indoor climber gym equipped with a rock climbing wall, a slide, a triangle ladder, and a semi-circle ladder that can double as a rocker. This is amazing for getting your hyper toddler's energy out and there are so many configurations that they won't get bored of it! Delta Children This includes one reversible arch, one reversible rock wall/slide ramp, and one Pikler triangle. This isn't only for toddlers; it's a great developmental tool for younger kiddos, too. My daughter has been using it to help her learn to sit up on her own by hanging onto the bars of the semi-circle, and more recently, we've been practicing her standing by holding on to the triangle. I can't wait to see her utilize it more as she grows up. 🥹 Promising review: "We've wanted a climbing gym for a while now and fell in love with the aesthetic of this one! I love the natural wood paired with the multi-colored pastels. It looks gorgeous even in our living room. It was easy to set up and very sturdy. Our son loves the rock climbing ramp and slide. It's been hours of fun so far!" — Mercedes Ross Get it from Amazon for $79.99 or Delta Children for $99.99 (originally $120). 6. Sink extenders so you can stop breaking your back trying to lift those not-so-little kids up to wash their hands every time they go to the bathroom. Add hand washing to the list of things you don't have to get screamed at to help with anymore. ✅ BuzzFeeder Heather Braga has these and says,"We're working on potty training my toddler, which comes with the added routine of constant handwashing. He's itching to be independent in all ways (yay) so I knew it was time to add these to my cart. They slip over the two very different faucets in my bathrooms and have truly made it easier than ever for my son to wash his hands (with the help of a step stool, of course). These should be mandatory in every toddler's home!" Promising review:" Must-have for toddlers and small children! LOVE this! My 1- and 3-year-old love washing their hands now and my back gets a nice break. Adding the faucet extenders and a stepstool to our bedtime/morning routine has been a godsend. Great bargain for the price." — TeaBea21 Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.79. 7. And a pack of brilliant light switch extenders with an easy-to-grab moon-shaped handle so your little ones can control their own lights. What makes these even better? They glow in the dark! Amazon, These install in minutes on standard light switches. Promising review:" Must-have for toddlers! Perfect solution! As my toddler's independence soars, so do frustrations. This light switch extender pack was a great buy. He can now turn on the lights in his room and bathroom. Installation was easy and works as expected." — Anna Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99. 8. Stepping stones made of squishy foam your kiddo can use to create a colorful path or make safe spots to land during the rousing game of the floor is lava. These tend to slip, so if you do want to use them on smooth surfaces, grab some grip tape. Promising review: "I purchased these as a gift for my grandchildren's obstacle course. They are well-made, and I think they will hold up very well. More importantly, I discovered that they are fabulous for seniors who are having balance problems! They would be a great addition to any therapy. As a former yoga instructor, I am considering buying these for myself!" — Lerns Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $49.99. 9. A Bella Velio bike with wide bubble wheels that 1) are stinkin' cute and 2) help your toddler learn to balance so they can become a speed racer on a real bike in no time! Early Rider, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower has this and says,"This balance bike is 100% worth the splurge! It's almost embarrassing how many people stop and compliment it when my 14-month-old daughter rides it up and down our street. She loves using it as a push toy and taking tiny steps while we hold the handle in the back. We love watching her riding progress as her confidence grows. It's also just so, so beautiful. My husband is an industrial designer, and his coworkers came over when we got it because they 'had to see it in person.' So funny to watch a bunch of child-free adults gush over a children's toy. This thing is a HUGE win!" Promising review:"My little dude loves it. Started out just having me push him, and now he's propelling himself and yelling with joy like he's deranged." — Charlie R. Get it from Early Rider for $199 (available in five colors). 10. Or a 2-in-1 rocking bike designed to grow with your kiddo. They can take it from a "rocking horse" that stays in place to a true, pedal-free bike for your older kiddo who is ready to be on the move. Strider, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower has this and says, "My baby started using this around nine months old and she is a HUGE fan. She loves this *practical* 'rocking horse.' I love its durability (her older cousin used it on our deck and was riding it so wildly we were sure he'd end up doing a front thing held up - and kept the kid intact - like a champ). The bike can be removed from the rocking base as your child starts walking, making it a prime choice for teaching your kiddo how to balance on a bike." Promising review:"The bike paired with the rocking base has been a favorite since day one! Some days, he rocks. Other days, we take it off the stand and ride in the backyard! This is learning how to ride a bike made easy!" — Tracy Get it from Strider for $269.98 (available in seven colors). 11. A Totchop because parents notoriously only ever have one hand available, and when your toddler says they want strawberries, they mean NOW and not in three minutes. This unique design allows you to slice, chop, and dice with an easy rocking motion and, most importantly, only one hand. Totchop And it's dishwasher-safe for easy clean up! Promising review: "If I could give this 100 stars I would. Ever since buying (over two months ago at this point), I have used the Totchop every single day for every meal. I have even used it for my own meals to cut things up. I could not recommend this enough to every parent, not just first-time parents. We are so happy to have found this and will forever be a lifelong customer!" — Lexi B. Get it from Totchop for $49.99 (originally $69.99; available in three colors). 12. And a grape cutter that will save you from having to chase all the random grapes that fly off the cutting board when you are just trying to cut them small enough for your kid to safely eat. Promising reviews:" Must have if you have toddlers. Wish I had known of this sooner. Has made it so much easier to cut grapes for my toddler. Now, I can do it one-handed when my LO won't let me set him down to cut the fruit. I have also used it to cut blueberries and blackberries." — Crystal Albertin "If your toddler loves grapes, this is a MUST-HAVE! So much easier than cutting into 4ths with a knife." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.76. 13. Annnd an apple corer and cutter to make slices perfect for kids to snack on so they don't have to gnaw through the apple. Plus this saves you a lot of time, cutting into 16 even slices in the amount of time it would take you to cut two pieces with a regular knife. Promising review:"Good for anyone who cares for children! I love this thing! Makes preparing lunches and snacks so much faster! It was hard to find this size, but my kids prefer the smaller apple slices, and this works great. Just center over the apple and push down; when it gets close to the bottom, flip the gray part under it, set it on the counter, and push down. Perfect apple slices pop out easily!" — mom of 3 busy kids Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in five colors and two styles). 14. Banzai Bump N' Bounce Body Bumpers perfect for those kiddos who have soooo much built-up energy and always seem to want to wrestle someone. Now they can do it in a safe way (that also just so happens to be *incredibly* entertaining to watch). I'm gonna go ahead and recommend wearing helmets too! Promising review:"Absolutely hilarious to watch! I got these for my kids (7 and 8) because i thought it would be a perfect way to blow off steam and get out some energy... It was great! They ran at each other pretty hard, but it didn't pop and no one got hurt! If your kids do a lot of bickering like mine these! 😅" — Sky Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99. 15. Ms. Rachel's "Potty Time With Bean" book to help make potty training at least a little bit easier. There is a motivational story about a little bear who is learning to go to the bathroom *and* of course, it has reward stickers in the back, plus tips for parents (which is especially handy if this is your first time and you have no clue where to start). BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga has this and says, "We're in the potty training trenches here, and this board book has been an integral part of our process. My son adores Ms. Rachel (who doesn't?) and recognized Bean when we passed the book in a store. So, we tossed it in the cart and took it home to start this ever-stressful endeavor. Anytime my son sits on the potty he asks me to read 'The Bean Book' and whenever he successfully goes, he gets rewarded with one of the stickers from the book. There's even a handwashing song in it that he's taken to heart and sings every time he washes up after using the potty. If you want to take things to the next level, there's also a Potty Time with Bean toy." Promising review: " The quality of this is great, and the books are nice and tough, so littles won't be able to rip them or anything. It's very good quality, and it is a book made to last! It's also fantastic and is really helping with teaching the littles in your life how to use the potty. Thank you, Ms. Rachel!" — End Up Here Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 16. A foam pogo jumper safer than a traditional pogo stick, but still just as fun!! Your kiddos will love bouncing around from room to room, and you'll love them burning off all their pent-up energy. Amazon, It can hold up to 250 pounds and can be used both indoors and outdoors (though reviewers note if you are going to use it outside, try to stay away from concrete). Flybar is a small business that creates fun toys and activities for kids. Promising review:"Our 4-year-old loves this toy! It's really fun for her and great for developing balance and large motor skills. The fact that it burns off some of her boundless energy is an extra plus. There's a built-in squeaker (which kids enjoy and adults learn to block out). Nice that it's an indoor/outdoor toy! Definitely a good value for the money." — L J Wessling Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 16 colors). 17. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray because we all know toddlers are messyyyyy. From grass stains to spaghetti sauce this spray is going to become your right hand man. Promising review:"My 1-year-old has taco meat stains ALL over the sleeves of his shirt. The stains were 2–3 days old, too. I sprayed the shirt, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then washed the shirt with regular laundry soap. Almost every bit of the stains came out. Definitely buying bulk in this product!" — Sloan Avery Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in a variety of quantities) 18. Magnetic locks so you can keep your kiddos out of your cabinets without having to put hideous locks on the outside or worry about drilling holes and causing damage. Amazon, The set comes with locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys. Promising review:"These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push-down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds; the bracket means it lines up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door so the dog stays out of the trash so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on so when my kids are bigger, we can flip the switch, but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." — Joseph J. Krakker Get a set of nine from Amazon for $27.99 (available in five quantities). 19. A ball pit with soft sides and colorful balls to keep your kiddo entertained for hours. Plus, you don't have to worry about what's lurking in the bottom since you'll know the balls are clean unlike those ones in public play spots. 🥴 Little Big Playroom, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed Here's what BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga says about this,"I got one of these for my son for his first Christmas and he was elated the moment we plopped him inside of it. They come in an array of stylish colors, so you can select one that'll go nicely with your giftee's home decor. The set comes with the foam pit and 200 crush-proof balls. Little Big Playroom is a family-owned small business that sells a variety of kids' items like ball pits, slides, and furniture — they've had their own daughter test every single product they've made!" Promising review:"We got this ball pit bundle for my son's first birthday, and he absolutely loves it. It's nice and soft but keeps its shape nicely. I do wish it came with more balls, but other than that, it's great!" — Katelin E. Get it from Little Big Playroom for $198 (originally $248; available in nine styles). 20. A Boon folding toddler tower for those Velcro kids who wanna be part of ~everything~ you are doing. This has nonslip feet and an adjustable height, so they are always in the perfect position for helping you cook or simply reaching that one thing on the top of the shelf. They are too stubborn to ask for help getting down, though. BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga has this and says, "My son is 2 and extremely interested in being involved and independent, which is a bit exasperating. We didn't have the right tools to let him help safely in the kitchen until this toddler tower was introduced to our lives. It's not bulky, which is great because we have enough kid stuff all over our home, and I love that at the end of the day, I can fold it up and put it aside. It's very sturdy, but I had my son practice climbing up and down on his own in a carpeted area for good measure (he did so like a pro). It can easily be wiped clean (love) and holds up to 50 lbs, so it'll be useful for quite some time!" Promising review:"The standing pad is large and slip-proof, providing a sturdy and safe place for toddlers to stand. The bar is great to keep toddlers secure and contained on the stand. The bar folds down, and the tower stores it conveniently. The white color is chic. The materials are high quality. I looked months for a toddler tower and I am extremely satisfied I purchased this one because of the quality, safety, and convenience to store." — Paige M. Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in white or grey). 21. And a set of plastic knives so your budding chef can ~safely~ help you out in the kitchen. These knives are basically magic — sharp enough to chop, but not sharp enough to slice any fingers. Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Note: Children still need supervision while using them, of course. Tovla is a small business that makes kid cooking products. Promising review: "Highly recommend these for safety, sturdiness, quality, and life skill reasons. These have been amazing for practicing cutting for my daughter. She's been using them for almost two years now, since she was 2 years old. A must-purchase if you're looking to introduce a practical life skill, especially to a young child!!" — Ciandra Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.95 (available in two color schemes). 22. An on-the-go Oxo wipes dispenser perfect for those toddlers who are in the phase of touching everything, including piles of mud, mysterious stains, and sticky substances. You can easily toss this into your diaper bag or purse so you're stocked and don't have a ~gigantic~ pack of wipes taking up all the room. Amazon, Promising review:"Love this Oxo wipe dispenser. It fits perfectly into my diaper bag without taking up too much space. I can easily use it one-handed. There is a rubber strap on the end if you want to hook it to something." — KKS Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 23. A roll of road tape so you and your kiddo can turn the living room into the ultimate race track. Or if they are extra energetic, go ahead and make a life-size track designed for them to run through in hopes of *maybe* tuckering them out before bedtime. Several reviewers said they used this tape on airplane tray tables to entertain their kids while traveling. PlayTape is a small business! Promising review: "I was so excited to gift this tape to a 4-year-old boy and to see how it was. It's very light and stuck to a table very nicely. It left no residue on the table and could tear easily to make a turn in the road. You could put this anywhere in your house and not be worried about damage. Very cool!" — Courtney S. Get a 30-foot roll from Amazon for $9.97 (available in multipacks). 24. A rainbow-colored saucer swing perfect for indoors or outdoors. Your kiddos will never want to get out of this, and that's perfectly fine because they can swing, sit, read, nap, or do really anything in this swing — you may never catch them sitting in a regular chair again. It can hold up to 220 pounds. Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes). 25. A splurge-worthy Cruiser City, the perfect love child of a stroller and wagon. You're getting all the room of a standard wagon but the steering and control of a stroller because you can push it instead of pulling it behind you and praying you aren't gonna run into something (or everything). Have no fear, the handle can also drop and be pulled like a traditional wagon for uneven surfaces. It also has cupholders!! BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has this and says, "I have never seen my husband gush over a product for our daughter more than he has with this wagon. And I'm just as big of a fan! There are *so* many useful accessories you can get to customize your ride specifically to your family's needs. We have a canopy, a cushioned toddler seat, extra storage nets, a cooler, and more. There are different attachments for season changes and a range of ages – so this truly grows with your child. It is easy to get through doors, swivel around pedestrians, and roam around uneven surfaces at the park. I can't think of a more useful product for parents in a city, or families who are often out and about. And, most importantly, my daughter *adores* it. She laughs, cheers, and giggles the whole ride (plus the cup tray attachment means she can snack on her own while we're on the move). This wagon is the sort of thing that makes me glad I'm a parent in 2025. Parenting products have come a *long* way!" Get it from Veer for $699+ (available in two sizes). 26. An anxiety-eliminating baby gate with a pressure mount so you aren't stuck with holes in your walls for eternity. This is great for keeping your toddlers in their designated space instead of giving them full rein of the house. And to make it even better, you can easily open it one-handed for all those times you inevitably have a little human on your hip. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower has this and says, "This gate is capable of expanding to fit openings between 29–34 and 35-38.5 inches wide, but won't fit an opening between 34–35 inches. It stands 30 inches tall. I have two versions: the smaller one keeps our toddler out of our home office, and I also have the 192-inch version (pictured above, right). I can't believe how sturdy it is while covering such a big space. My kid pulls on it every day, and it doesn't budge." Promising review:" Best gate I have ever owned. I have two small kids, a dog, and two cats. Plus, there are lots of stairs. I have gone through so many gates in the last three years. Most broke over time or came loose. This gate is worth 20 stars. Amazing quality. It has stood the test of time! Reliable, sturdy, easy to use, easy to install. The gate swings both ways! That's a HUGE plus. I feel so secure having it, knowing that there is no way my kids or dog can knock it down or get over it. It is tall too. Buy this one. Coming from the girl who is the queen of gates. This one is one-and-done. IF we need to purchase more gates in the future, I will come straight back to this product and seller." — L. Randall Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four sizes and three colors). 27. And a pack of corner guards that are ~clear~ so you can toddler-proof those sharp edges while keeping your aesthetic intact. Promising review:"These are honestly the best corner protectors we have tried! We've had a few others in our house, and they are constantly falling off because they lost their stickiness, or our daughter pulls them off because they are huge and they catch her eye, and they are just not pretty to look at. But these are so small and clear that you don't even notice they are there (so our daughter doesn't even try to pull them off). They stick very well and have already protected her little head from hitting a corner. I'm not sure how they will peel off since we haven't tried yet, but so far, so good!" — E3232 Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8.48 (also available in packs of 18 and 24). 28. A Nugget couch designed to be arranged into all kinds of creations from elaborate forts to ramps to rocket ships or whatever else they can dream up. Not to mention it makes an ultra comfy spot for them (or you) to nap on. Nugget BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga has this and says, "Every parent in my life swears by this, so if you have enough room in your home, definitely consider ordering one. The cushion covers are machine washable (a must for any item a child is going to lounge on) and come in SO many colors you'll absolutely be able to find one that matches your decor. I have one in my playroom, and it gets A LOT of action. We use it to lounge (my sister has slept on it for a week, haha), make forts, create slides, etc. It's the best." Promising review:"What a great product! Perfect addition to our son's room as it can be furniture, fort building blocks, and an extra bed if you need it for a friend. Love our Nugget!" — Kristen N. Get it from Nugget for $249+ (available in 20 colors and three materials). 29. The Big Dig Sandbox Digger Excavator Crane, a dream toy for the construction lovers in your life. It swivels 360 degrees and actually picks up sand, dirt, snow, or small toys. It can hold up to 110 pounds. Promising reviews:"My 3-year-old nephew loves — LOVES — this toy. He chooses it when he has any number of other toys that he could choose to play with at any time. It has helped with his coordination and gives him plenty of exercise!!!" — Snklf8 "Bought this for a highly active 3-year-old boy who absolutely LOVES this thing. I couldn't have picked a better gift!!!" — Sandra J. Pease-Simon Get it from Amazon for $40.79+ (available in two colors and a bundle). 30. A two-pack of LED hover balls so your kiddos can finally play soccer inside with less risk of injury or breaking something. These easily glide across the floor like an air hockey puck and have built-in bumpers to protect your baseboards. Amazon, Let Loose Moose is a small business creating fun toys and activities for kids. Promising reviews:"We have so much fun 'kicking' this around the kitchen or basement! Gets us all (adults and kids) up, moving and laughing as a family! Helps with the long-winter-day blues!" — Jollyholiday7 " These are so fun! This is the perfect toy for my high-energy 8-year-old boy, he loves getting to play soccer in the house and I love that nothing gets broken. These work really well and are definitely a good value; it's great that you get two with the purchase." — Britni Get a pack of two from Amazon for $21.99 (also available as a one-pack or a rechargeable version). 31. A set of drizzle-preventing ice pop holders that can hold any popsicle on a stick ORRR pop out the bottom to hold ice cream cones. Now your kiddos can enjoy the delicious frozen treats they love without creating a mountain of laundry for you to do... or maybe worse, getting super sticky hands and touching ~everything~ in sight.

A stroller disguised as a tricycle, a sofa designed to make the best pillow forts, a snack spinning treat container, and 35 other products that'll parent your kids right along with you. 1. Miss Mouth, a travel-friendly stain spray (with a whopping 43,000 five-star reviews!) named with the messiest eaters in mind, for those of us who need a stain remover that understands our struggles. This is a baby-safe product that works on grease, coffee, underwear, and food stains with ease. Promising reviews:"My mother's group recommended this stain removing spray. I was dumb enough to put my 6-month-old in a white bib while he enjoyed some frozen berry teethers. This came to the rescue (pictured above)!" — L "I never write reviews, but this stuff is absolutely amazing! I keep this is the laundry basket and spray as stains happen and even white clothes come out perfectly clean each time! I mostly use it for baby poop, but it's also worked on food and coffee stains for me and my husband. Seriously – it's a life saver!" — Amazon Customer Get two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in different pack styles). 2. A too-fun-to-be-so-functional Doona Liki Trike you can start using when your child is as young as 10 months! It grows with your child, transforming into a tricycle for kids up to 3 years old! This can make your "stroller" rides feel more engaging and fun for your kiddo — while still being an easy outing for you! BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Chandini Reddy says: "I'm not sure who's more OBSESSED with our Liki toddler or me? My active toddler, who absolutely hates being strapped into his stroller, loves that it allows him to sit upright and steer the handles (while I push him) making him feel like he's in control and going on an adventure. It has made trips to the park/mall/zoo so much easier because it is lighter than our stroller *and* folds up tiny taking up minimal trunk space. (We also took it on a flight recently and were amazed at how easily it fit in the airplane overhead bin!) My fave feature is how seamlessly it steers. Unlike other trikes, you don't need to awkwardly force it to change directions. In fact, my 5-year-old has no trouble navigating my 2-year-old around the park. The best part? My little one is so happy riding around on this thing that he's had barely any meltdowns when we're out and about. I'd say that's a huge win!" Get it from Amazon for $250+ (available in different colors and styles). 3. A Kiddie Couch for families with infants, toddlers, and even tweens who love pillow forts with a passion. I can personally say this is THE product to keep your kids entertained indoors. The sturdy cushions transform from a sofa you come up with! At my house, we've made mountains, houses, tables, karaoke stages, airplanes, stuffed animal corals, and SO much more. If my toddler hadn't had her little couch this winter she would have punched a hole in the wall just to create a foothold for something to climb on. I'm sure of it. I really, *really* can't overstate how useful this has been in my life. I got it two years ago while still pregnant. One tired nap on this while putting together the nursery, and I ended up spending the rest of my third trimester sleeping on a kid's play sofa. It was that comfortable. We've often used the pieces as floor cushions for extra seating and even as a table for toddlers to eat meals. Before our daughter could sit up on her own, propping her up between these pillows worked like a charm for reading time. As plain old furniture — this sofa slaps. Now that my daughter is old enough to play with it, it's a staple in our apartment — basically out 24/7. I have three other friends in NYC who also have this. In pint-sized apartments, where anything that takes up space has to be REALLY worth it, our families' shared love for this sofa proves just how valuable it really is. Get it from Kiddie Couch for $269 (available in seven colors). 4. A Little Big Playroom ball pit with 200 colorful, un-crushable balls and a soft-sided "pool." The design is lightweight enough to easily move around but sturdy enough to keep toddlers inside while allowing bigger kids to plop in and act wild to their heart's content. Knowing that a toy like this will always be out, these are designed with intention. They're a safe space for kids to get their energy out indoors while *also* looking great in your home. Little Big Playroom is a family-owned small business that sells a variety of kids items like ball pits, slides, and furniture — they've had their own daughter test every single product they've made! P.S. I own this! That's my daughter going absolutely *wild* on her 37th ball pit game of the day. As I've mentioned above, I live in an apartment. I thought getting this would be a huge mistake, and I did it anyway. I have never been happier to be wrong! My daughter LOVES this. Whenever she's in it, I can easily sit on the sofa and take a breather — she's fully entertained on her own. And yeah, she throws the balls out of the pit. And that potentially problematic habit? It keeps her entertained for ages. She'll even run around the apartment putting them back. Best time suck I ever did see. Promising review:"We got this ball pit bundle for my son's first birthday, and he absolutely loves it. It's nice and soft but keeps its shape nicely. I do wish it came with more balls, but other than that it's great!" — Katelin E. Get it on sale from Little Big Playroom for $198 (originally $248; available in 17 styles). 5. A pair of WeeFarers polarized sunglasses so the other kids on the playground know your child is one of the COOL kids (and, you know, these keep their eyeballs safe from the sun). But *mostly* the cool kid part. The picture on the right is from a day my husband and I decided to dress our daughter up (the resemblance is conveniently uncanny). One of the things I love most about these glasses is the ability to safely remove and securely insert the lenses. Wearing the frames without the lenses helped my daughter get used to having something on her face, and, in turn, she more readily accepted the eye protection when we started wearing them as sunglasses outside. These are secure (a head strap is included so they won't get taken off/lost) and darn good-lookin'! Promising review:"I can't say enough nice things. These are the best kid's sunglasses. This is now the second pair of these I have bought. The quality, durability, and fit of these is unbeatable." — PM Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four sizes and 13 styles). 6. A high-quality muslin swaddle that'll be a go-to item every day of your baby's swaddling stage, and (if your family is anything like mine) you'll find *many* more uses after that! I've used swaddles as stroller shades, picnic blankets, tiny tents, improvised teddy bear clothing... you name it. The light fabric and large size make for — if you ask me — a delightfully versatile parenting product. Promising review:"This is such a great brand at a great price point! You definitely get premium quality at an affordable price! This is a beautiful swaddle! The quality is amazing and the best thing about these blankets is that they only get softer the more you wash them! They are breathable and lightweight. They are perfect as nursing covers, or to wrap baby up to stay cozy!" — Elle Bailey Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 38 styles). 7. An Ergobaby carrier designed with enhanced lumbar support and a *superb* airflow-friendly design. This parenting MUST is sure to keep you and your kiddo comfortable when you're out and about — until they're 45 lbs! My husband and I live in Brooklyn and carry our baby everywhere, meaning we tried about half a dozen carriers over the last year. We were given several and didn't want to spend money on another we kept fighting over who got to use the Ergo, ergot, we bought another. The sizing is really customizable. The baby sleeps in it easily, even on the subway. We credit it for her great social skills, because she's been able to see folks face-on since she was old enough to sit forward. She's in this no matter the weather — we wore this under our coats in the winter and have found it beautifully breathable this summer. We couldn't live the lives we do without our Ergobaby carriers. Promising review:"This is breathable and sturdy. Baby finds it very comfortable and sleeps well for hours. I like the fact that it has a nice cushion to support baby's neck. It has different straps that can be adjusted to fit the shape and size of the user." — Arnab Get it from Amazon for $148.99+ (available in eight colors). 8. And a hip seat sling that'll keep you from straining your back and exhausting your arms when your kid cries as if the floor is lava when you try getting them to walk on their own. Reviewers consider this a must-have product when taking a toddler to Disneyland (which I know from personal research, because I impulse-bought this while planning my kid's trip to Disney). Promising review:"I was looking for a carrier for my daughter to stand in those long Disney lines. I tried two other strap carriers and THIS was the best one! It's soft, easy, and comfy! The shoulder has good cushion and I love that it has the mesh middle to give coverage so the weight is better distributed! It folds up nicely and has a cute storage bag (I don't think it will be put away often, but nice to have!). Plus, my little one LOVES it! I'm excited to use it and save my arms everywhere we go! You'll still want to use an arm to make sure your little doesn't do a back-up as kids are prone to the seat has grippies to help their bum stay put — genius! I'm really excited to have finally found a great carrier!!!" — Kiah Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors). 9. An Oxo diaper wipes dispenser sure to be a beloved addition to your changing station. The one-press opening and weighted interior means you can grab wipes with one hand, which is unnervingly necessary when your baby's favorite time to wiggle around is on top of the dresser while being changed. This does everything it claims and makes changing so much easier than it could be. It fits large packages of wipes and really does work with one hand. Out of all the changing tools I use, this is the one I recommend the most. Promising review:"This is easily one of my favorite baby products! Trust me, take the wipes out of the original package and put them in here. THEY WILL NOT DRY OUT! I've even left it open accidentally for a few hours, and the wipes did not dry out. The weight on top makes it so easy to pull out one wipe at a time. The best part is that you can do everything one-handed! Super necessary when you have a blowout or just a wiggly baby." — Lisa Morrison Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in two colors). 10. An interactive routine board from Charmspring — this unreasonably cute calendar is a great visual for your living room, keeping your kids' schedule within eyesight so they don't get overwhelmed by surprise events and expectations. Charmspring I have one of these springboards! This kid-friendly daily calendar is a gift for A-type parents and unorganized souls alike. The illustrated tiles are kid-friendly, so they can put their activities on the board all by themselves. Discuss the day with your kiddo as they put it together — this added control helps them feel in charge of their schedule, making changes throughout the day feel less daunting. Get it from Charmspring for $295 (available in starter packs, two sizes, and different styles). 11. A fancy touchless forehead thermometer to take anyone's temperature in seconds — and without bothering them if they're getting some needed rest or sleep. Promising review:" This is a great thermometer — accurate, looks great, a must have! If you have kids, forget about sticking a thermometer in their ears. I have four kids now and a thermometer is a must-have. Hold this thing close to the forehead, push the button in and you get a reading in about one second. This thing looks good, feels good, and is accurate. We've used different thermometers in the past. The head scanner that you run across the good. In-ear but expect a battle. Rectal accurate, but expect a war. This is the easiest one out of all of them. We find it especially useful when we need the quick 'I don't feel that great' check...i.e., man cold. Overall, highly recommend!."— BearDownChi1 Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors). 12. A leave-in conditioning spray for curly hair with no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates so you can de-tangle your kid's tough knots with something scalp-safe and nourishing. Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. Promising review:" My 2-year-old daughter has curly frizzy hair. And I have tried sooo many leave in conditioners to define her hair. Nothing thus far has worked. But this stuff is amazing! Truly defines her curls without any hold or crunch. Soft bouncy curls. The smell is quite strong — but it does smell good. If you are sensitive to smells you might want to prepare yourself ahead of time for this. I will buy this again and again. So glad I found something that works for my toddler's curls." — mike Get it from Amazon for $8.49. 13. The Nanit Superior Sleep Set for new parents who are about to switch their Netflix nights to baby-monitor staring sessions, just to make sure the kid doesn't get abducted by aliens in the night. This connects to an app so you can keep an eye on your little tyke wherever you are. It also has two-way communication, a night-light, plays music, and includes a motion and breathing monitor, so you'll know when they're awake or simply wiggling around as they dream away. This full set includes the camera and wall mount, a travel stand, a sound and light monitor, a belly band tracker, and a night light. Promising review: " This is the best baby monitor there is! The best monitor for parents — there are countless features that make me feel more confident in letting my baby sleep in their room! First, knowing I can always check on my baby no matter where I am has been a game changer. I love that with my insights membership I can always see how long my baby has been asleep and use that information to understand if they need their schedule adjusted, and I can do all of this when I'm not even at home! I also love the two-way talk feature so I can talk to my now toddler when she wakes up in the morning! Nanit is probably the first product I recommend to all my expecting friends! You'll love it." — MKD Get it from Amazon for $303.99. 14. A toilet target light with a motion sensor and clear projection — this is sure to make potty training a bright spot in your child's life. Amazon To apply, simply clean the area with an alcohol wipe before attaching the light. Take the sticker off the back and press firmly against the lid for 90 seconds. That's it! Batteries are included. Promising review:"I got this thinking 'Dear lord I hope this works. If I drop my pants in pee again or have to scrub another wall I am going to go insane!' I thought the price was a bit much but it is okay now that I now it works! I don't know why people are saying theirs don't stay on. I'm truly hoping they cleaned the area first... but anyways. All I did was clean the surface of the lid with some rubbing alcohol and stuck this light on, like it said to do. My husband and son are in and out of the bathroom several times a day. Slamming the lid closed. Lights on and off all the time. This still lights up bright as ever and it's going on three weeks. Now when I sit I sometimes might lean back into it but it's really not an issue. I'm just overwhelmed with joy because this target works and I do not have to scrub any extra walls, floors, or pants!!! You better believe I'm getting one for every darn bathroom in my house!!!" — NoRestForTheWicked Get it from Amazon for $34.88. 15. A pack of sink extenders to make hand washing less of a chore for your child... and your back. Amazon, Amazon / Via Promising review:" Must have for toddlers and small children! LOVE this! My 1- and 3-year-old love washing their hands now and my back gets a nice break. Adding the faucet extenders and a stepstool to our bed time/morning routine has been a godsend. Great bargain for the price." — TeaBea21 Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.99. 16. A nasal aspirator — it's equal parts nasty and satisfying for parents who are ~snot~ afraid of efficiently getting the job done when their babies' boogers are making them blue. Promising review:"My toddler is constantly catching a cold with a runny nose and we found that the typical suction bulb just wasn't cutting it. We've also tried the Nose Frida a couple of times but that was hard to use with only one adult and a screaming toddler that needs to be pinned down. I was skeptical about this tool at first because of the price and also because I first saw it on an Instagram ad and it seemed gimmicky. However, after using this tool for about two months I am extremely happy that I've found a solution for my baby's runny nose. The suction is great and I love that it sucks constantly. Also this doesn't seem to bother my baby at all, in fact she laughs when we use this." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $30.99. 17. A magnetic visual timer to help kids see how much time they have left to work on homework, clean their room, be in the bath, etc. This is here to keep your home from being filled with the shrill cries of "Are we done yet?!" every 32 seconds. Promising review:"This is the perfect size and NO BATTERIES REQUIRED. It does the job well. I bought it for my son. Now that the classes are virtual I needed to be able to measure the time between the classes so my son knows how long he has in the classes / break-time. In addition, it can be used for other things, such as in the kitchen. Being able to move this around with you as you need it really makes life a whole lot easier." — Rvargas Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 10 colors). 18. A snack spinner for enticing even the pickiest of eaters to add more foods to their *rotation* at home or on the go. Promising review:"My 2-year-old loves it, he gets excited every time he pushes the button and sees it spin. He spins it grabs a piece of strawberry spins it again grabs a blueberry keeps him entertained. It's easy to clean and compact for easy on the go snacks. Great product!" — Noe G. Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in seven colors). 19. A car trash can sure to save the day (and your upholstery) from suckers, soda bottles, and all the other sticky substances your kids sneak into the car. It turns out cupholders are, in fact, not tiny trash cans. Promising review:"Love it! It's great to have a trash can in the car that's not a total eyesore. I love that it's waterproof, so I don't have to buy bags for it. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for my boyfriend's car." — Ashley A. Wolfe Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four designs). 20. A 360-degree spill-proof cup designed with a game-changing silicone top that can be sipped from any spot (hence the 360 name). The sealed top is non-spill on its own, unlike pop-lid sippy cups. The water comes out from the very edge and only when sucked. This teaches your kiddo how to drink from a traditionally shaped cup very early and without the need for a straw. Sip, sip, hooray! Finding this cup makes me feel *very* in-the-know, and I can't believe it's not yet a classic infant cup. Because it's absolute Glinda The Good Witch witchcraft. We originally got our baby an infant cup with a straw, but she was more interested in playing with the lid and would rarely drink from it. The day we got this she caught on instantly – her bottles were gone the same week with no tears and a healthily hydrated baby! I love that it gives her the confidence to drink from regular cups and water bottles, because she now knows how to gulp. Plus, I can just throw this in a bag and go – no drips, ever! This has made our life SO easy. Get two from Amazon for $14.78. 21. An alcohol-free hand sanitizer that'll foam when you pump it out, making sanitizing their hands way more fun when all your kiddo wants to do their hands on everything. The produce section never stood a chance. Promising review:"This is a very gentle hand sanitizer that works very well and does not dry your hands up. Highly recommend!" — #1 Shopper Get six fragrance-free ones from Amazon for $20.94 (also available in a mandarine scent). 22. An easy-to-clean Hatch changing pad with a scale so you can monitor your baby's weight while changing their diaper. Before I had a baby, I didn't even realize monitoring their weight was a thing, but (after dangling my infant inside a scarf from a luggage scale) I wish I'd known and had this. It connects to an app on your phone so you can collect and track the data over time, helping you seem really on top of things at your pediatrician appointments. Amazin Promising review: "The Hatch Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale is a fantastic addition to our nursery! It combines a comfortable changing pad with a built-in scale, making it easy to monitor our baby's growth. The app integration is seamless, providing real-time data and tracking. The design is sleek and modern, fitting perfectly into our nursery decor. Highly recommend for any new parent looking for convenience and peace of mind!" — Kevin Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in two colors). 23. And a Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine you can use as a two-way audio monitor, a night-light, a white noise machine, an alarm clock, and a sleep trainer. This lovely little light can glow red, which is less alarming than other bright lights, so your baby doesn't wake all the way up from harsh overhead lighting. This can be your companion during early morning diaper changes and late-night feedings, helping soothe the whole family through those wild infant hours. Amazon Here's what BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga loves it:"The Hatch Rest is ideal for parents as it also has a sound monitor option. For the hour or so my son used to sleep in a bassinet in our room before my husband and I got into bed, I was able to listen in and hear if he was fussing, crying, etc. We were also able to set it to a specific program so the light/sounds turn off on their own in the morning (one less thing for us to think about). You can check out my full review on both the Hatch Rest and Hatch Restore here." Promising review:"My favorite feature about this product is that I can control everything through my phone. If I'm in a different room in the house, but I want the nursery to play birds chirping for the baby, I can do that through my phone. The audio baby monitor works very well and the speaker quality through the Hatch is terrific. I also love that it's travel-friendly, so we use this baby monitor whenever we're on the go. Lastly, the night-light is perfect when I'm changing the baby's diaper at 3 a.m. or during a middle-of-the-night feeding." — Chelsea Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 24. A car baby monitor (with a spiffy 14,000+ 5-star reviews!) that'll help you instantly know what's going on with your baby in the backseat without adjusting mirrors or turning back to see what's going on (when the car is stopped, of course). Stay safe on the road with your little one, and keep them *easily* within sight! And just a reminder, you should always keep your eyes on the road while the car is in motion. Promising reviews:"This is honestly the best purchase I've ever made since becoming a mom. Like, hands down, my favorite product ever. This camera definitely makes life easier, and I wish I had it for my other two when they were babies. It took less than five minutes to get it up and running and they included everything I needed. I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and it reaches all the way to the third row. I recommend it to all my mom friends!" — Kristin Morgan Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (also available with a USB). 25. A USDA-certified organic baby healing balm formulated with chamomile, cocoa butter, coconut oil, calendula, and avocado oil — use this special stuff to help alleviate eczema, acne, cradle cap, rashes, ~ unnecessary parental stress, ~ and more. Era Organics is a small business! Promising review:"I absolutely love this stuff. I use it for my ds rashes. I was so afraid to use anything but coconut oil but I needed something that would soothe the rash as well. My ds also ended up getting eczema and hives from a laundry detergent we had switched to. This completely soothed it away. It was gone by the next day. Needless to say, this is my go-to soothing-everything solution. It stays in the diaper bag and medicine cabinet. A must-have!" — Andrea Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes). 26. A bath toy thermometer that'll be a crucial part of your baby's bath time routine. Making sure the water is a safe temperature *also* keeps their body temp in the safe zone. Plus, this guarantees your kiddo is comfortable while they splash around and learn what water is. At our house, this little seal is named Lou (a nod to all the other Arrested Development fans out there), and it's a beloved member of our family. We've had this since before the baby was born (around 15 months), and you better believe I tested it out ahead of time. I love burning hot baths, so I knew I was no judge of safe water temperatures. This reads really clearly (blinking blue if it is too cold and red if it is too hot) and fast. We are a less-is-more toy family, so my daughter loves having a cute toy to play with, and I love that it doubles as a useful tool. Cheers all around. Promising review:"I absolutely love this thing. All you have to do is throw it in the water and it starts to read the temp. No need to turn it on and off. It blinks red whenever the temperature is considered too high, which I love because whenever I'm getting a newborn ready to get in the bath I don't want to have to sit and hover over it reading the temp — if it's not blinking I know its within a good range. So just turn your warm water on, throw this guy in and you'll know instantly if it's good to go or needs adjusting. Plus it's super cute!" — Madalyn Roche Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors). 27. A Luli Bebé backpack — a diaper bag in disguise — complete with waterproof pockets and a wipeable surface. Plus, there's so much space inside, you're sure to know you've got everything you need in one (chic) spot. Luli Bebé Promising review: "Absolutely love the Monaco Diaper Bag! This Pearl white color is perfection! It is very spacious and looks so fashionable! I wear it out when when I don't have kids with me! I love the fact that it doesn't look like an actual diaper bag from outside! Thank you for such a wonderful product!" — Aleana M. Get it on sale from Luli Bebé for $189 (available in 10 colors). 28. *The* Nurture& Glider Plus swivels, rocks, and has TikTok parents (and this very BuzzFeed writer) going wild. This unreasonably chic recliner is gonna be a bright and airy addition to your home. Its electric design adjusts the footrest, posture, and headrest with the push of a button. Plus, the fabric is stain-resistant. It even has a USB port so you can charge your phone without even leaving your seat. This is the only chair anyone needs. And *everybody* needs it. I got this chair during my second trimester and I really and truly cried when I sat down and realized it had adjustable lumbar support. I read the entire ACOTAR series while comfortably sitting in this chair — we've been through a *lot* together. It is so comfortable that I think it's an actual crime it's pitched toward nurseries, because *everyone* should know about this. Promising review:"I sit/lay on my glider every day to nurse and sleep on. I exclusively breastfeed my 4-month-old baby so my back and arms are so achy. Good thing I have the world's most comfortable glider. I tried other rocking chairs from Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel; they were either too narrow (where I can't sit crisscross applesauce) or too short. Nurture& definitely tops all other products out there in the same price range." — Cat K. Get it on sale from Nurture& for $1,199 (originally $1,399; available in three colors). 29. The Honest Company Truly Calming lavender bubble bath with a calming formula that'll soothe sleep-averse children as well as sleep-deprived adults. Amazon This gentle formula is made with naturally derived botanicals and essential oils and is free of all the toxic stuff: SLS, sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, dyes, formaldehyde donors, MEA, DEA, or TEA. Promising review:" I will buy this forever!! It smells so good and makes our little one so relaxed and sleeps so good after her baths!! Not to mention at all of our routine checkups our peds always mentions how soft our little ones skin is and asks what we do and if we put lotion on every day and we say no only if her skin feels dry! 🤣👌🙌 Highly recommend! Also a little goes a long way! This will last a long time." — Kayla S. Get it from Amazon for $10.92+ (available in four formulas). 30. A Cruiser City from Veer, designed with swivel wheels furthest from the handle, meaning you can push it like a stroller while still getting all the benefits of a ride-on wagon! If you love wagons but find navigating them through grocery isles and sidewalks a chore, this is for you. It can also be pulled if you're heading uphill or on rockier roads. This is a truly game-changing way to explore the world with your kids. Plus, it has cup holders. Veer, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed I have never seen my husband gush over a product for our daughter more than he has with this wagon. And I'm just as big of a fan! There are *so* many useful accessories you can get to customize your ride specifically to your family's needs. We have a canopy, a cushioned toddler seat, extra storage nets, a cooler, and more. There are different attachments for season changes and a range of ages – so this truly grows with your child. It is easy to get through doors, swivel around pedestrians, and roam around uneven surfaces at the park. I can't think of a more useful product for parents in a city, or families who are often out and about. And most important: my daughter *adores* it. She laughs, cheers, and giggles the whole ride (plus the cup tray attachment means she can snack on her own while we're on the move). This wagon is the sort of thing that makes me glad I'm a parent in 2024. Parenting products have come a *long* way! Get it from Veer for $699+ (available in two sizes). 31. A detangling brush with over 60,000 5-star reviews! There's no need to brush off your kid's (and TBH, YOUR) tears when their tangles try and ruin your morning. Use this pain-free option instead. You are ~knot~ losing to bedhead anymore! Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair). Promising review:" I'm a single dad of a 6-year-old girl, and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to comb her own hair now." — Eric Phan Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in several colors and two-packs). 32. An anxiety-eliminating baby gate — this gate features a pressure mount, so you won't have to drill holes into your wall to keep it secure. It's easy to install and easy for adults to open with one hand, which you'll definitely be thankful for when you're trying to carry your toddler and open it at the same time. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed This gate is capable of expanding to fit openings between 29–34 and 35-38.5 inches wide, but won't fit an opening between 34–35 inches. It stands 30 inches tall. I have two versions, the smaller one keeps our toddler out of our home office, and I also have the 192-inch version (pictured above, right). I can't believe how sturdy it is while covering such a big space. My kid pulls on it every day and it doesn't budge. Promising review:" Best gate I have ever owned. I have two small kids, a dog, and two cats. Plus lots of stairs. I have gone through so many gates in the last three years. Most broke over time or came loose. This gate is worth 20 stars. Amazing quality. It has stood the test of time! reliable, sturdy, easy to use, easy to install. The gate swings both ways! That's a HUGE plus. I feel so secure having it, knowing that there is no way my kids or dog can knock it down or get over it. It is tall too. Buy this one. Coming from the girl who is the queen of gates. This one is one-and-done. IF we need to purchase more gates in the future, I will come straight back to this product and seller." — L. Randall Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 33. A set of lovely silicone baby bottles from Boon Nursh for parents who, like me, want *useful* baby products that are also easy on the eyes. Amazon, I 100% bought these because I thought they were pretty. Turns out, they're also *really* good! We tried several types of bottles when our daughter was born and these were far and away her favorite! It was wild to see how much she preferred them. As she became able to hold a bottle on her own, we found that the plastic holes and silicone interior made them really easy for her to grab. Promising review:"I decided to try these bottles because I was looking for a new brand of silicone bottle. These are easy to clean, my baby can hold them more easily than other bottles because of the unique design, the flow seems to be good for her, and they look cool. I like that the parts which come in contact with my baby's formula and hot water are plastic-free." — danizorz Get them from Amazon for $17.29+ (available in two sizes and eight different set colors). 34. A TikTok famous crawling crab that'll clatter across the living room, enticing little ones (kids AND pets) to chase it around the room or simply watch it for ages. Need a moment to yourself? This crab has you covered. Promising review:"We ordered this toy for our son after seeing videos about it on Instagram. We do not regret it at all! Although our 9-month-old was a little nervous about playing with it at first, he soon realized how much fun it was. Now he chases it both crawling on the floor and in his walker (where he has the tactical advantage). Definitely recommend as a gift for the baby in your life." — Krissa Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors). 35. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers so you can blame the sticker when you tell your kids they've gotta stop playing and re-apply. Amazon Promising review: "I'm multi-racial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." — FlightLife Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $16.49 (available in three pack sizes). 36. A sight word Bingo game that'll help make those frustrating early reader lessons a lot more fun. Amazon Promising review:"Our first-grader was feeling really discouraged with her sight words and I've been trying to think of ways to encourage her and get her excited to learn things she doesn't already know. She loved this game! We played with the whole family and her 3-year-old even enjoyed playing (we show her the cards and have her find the word that matches on her bingo card). I think this is a great way to make learning/practicing sight words fun! I am very happy with this purchase and I can see how it would be great for teachers in the classroom as well!!" — Jennie Get it from Amazon for $11.88. 37. A pair of headphones with a sharing splitter just might be the key to tantrum-free road trips. Get these so your kids can watch a show on one device together without 1) needing to split earbuds *sharing is NOT always caring* and 2) so you won't hear them watch Encanto on repeat the entire drive because you know your kids and they WILL be watching Encanto on repeat. P.S. These have protective volume restrictions, so your little ones don't hurt their little ears. Cousin Dolores WISHES she had that safety feature. Amazon Promising review:"First, the fact that they are wired is AWESOME! The last headphones I bought were similar to this with the exception that the cord could be removed. My son ruined the cord playing with it and eventually it all stopped working. The cord in these can't be removed. Check! I tried them, and my boys also think they are very comfortable. They can collapse taking up less room in their backpacks. They seem quite durable and have great sound quality! The jack that comes with them makes it easy for both of them to listen to the same thing on a tablet! They are happy with the colors. Over all a great value buy!!" — Amber Williamson Get them from Amazon for $24.98 (available in four color sets). 38. And finally, a surprisingly soothing children's picture book parents with a sense of humor are gonna love displaying in the nursery, at the ready for when their little bundle of sunshine doesn't believe in sleeping at night. Amazon, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed I have spent 10 years collecting picture books and have dozens on display in my toddler's room. I'm *really* picky about books; I only pick ones that I know I'd enjoy reading over and over in case it becomes my kid's favorite. This meets that high expectation! It's not just a funny gag gift for a baby shower — it's soothing, well written, beautifully illustrated, and a good laugh for us grown-ups. Promising review:"I have given this book to over 25 people for baby showers and it is always such a hit!! Parents need to support each other and make each other laugh!! Especially when our kids are little!! This book makes you stop and laugh at yourself and not take parenting so seriously!! Love love love it!!" — Sharon L. Havers Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
