And it fits in the overhead bin on an airplane. Parenting has been upgraded, folks. Promising review: "The glow in the dark works wonders! The quality is amazing and soft! It's lightweight, soft, and the picture quality is great!!" —Taylor Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four styles and three sizes). I'm also an Amara Mom* (a new cool name I've just named us), and I love them. When my daughter was a baby, I got these as a gift, and I think the peace of mind was the *real* present. I was so worried about her choking as she learned how to eat solid foods. I also didn't want her craving sugar all the time. These solved both worries. She loves them just as much today as she did when she first started eating solids. It's so hard to pack snacks for my daughter when allergens are a big worry at daycare — it's super nice to have a go-to treat I feel good about that's free of many common food allergens. Promising review: "These are a huge hit in our house! The texture is perfect for little ones — they melt quickly and are easy to eat with no choking worries. I love that they’re made with simple, organic ingredients and no added sugar, so I feel good giving them as a snack. The flavors actually taste like real fruit and veggies, not overly sweet or artificial. They’re great for on the go, they're mess-free, and the resealable bag keeps them fresh. My toddler gets so excited every time I open a pack! Definitely a clean, convenient snack I’ll keep repurchasing." —Way Native Get them from Amazon for $24.25+ (available in five flavors). Promising review: “I have purchased three of these now. One for my car, one for my husband's, and one for his mother. They are super easy to install. It includes a bunch of sitting positions, cup holders, and it's easy to clean. I was also able to use the second seat forward-facing when my nephew came to visit — it was great to be able to have a car seat work for other kids! I'd buy it again." —Amazon Customer BuzzFeeder Shopping contributor Chandini Reddy says: "I'm not sure who's more OBSESSED with our Liki Trike...my 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!" BTW, that's my daughter in the photo on the left. I agree with everything Chandini said above *and* wanna shout out how surprisingly well it compacts — small enough to keep in my daughter's closet in our tiny apartment! It's great! Get it from Amazon for $300 (available in four colors). Promising review: "This is an infant sleep miracle product! We’ve used it every day for a few months now, and it’s one of the few baby purchases I’d recommend as a MUST for a newborn. The white noise and night-light combo has made bedtime feel calmer, and the app control is what really sets it apart. I really love the insights that the app provides about sleep for all stages of life. It’s helpful for a first-time parent! The moment it won me over was the first time our baby was finally asleep, and I realized the volume was just slightly too loud. Not enough to wake them, but enough to make me worry I’d regret it later. Instead of creeping into the room and risking a creaky door, I turned it down from my couch on the app. Baby stayed asleep, and I felt like I’d pulled off a tiny miracle. Same goes for the opposite, if we’re watching a loud movie and don’t want to wake up our baby.The sound quality is excellent, the light is perfect for middle-of-the-night feeds without blasting the whole room, and the scheduling feature makes it easy to keep a consistent routine. It’s not the cheapest sound machine, but after four months of daily use, it’s been reliable and completely worth it." —Joseph Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "EXCELLENT travel bottle warmer!!!! We love this warmer and use it almost every single time we leave the house!!! The water stays hot for hours!! The longest we have done is about six to eight hours, and each time, it is still piping hot and steaming when I pour it, and it heats my daughter's bottle up easily in just a few minutes! Seriously, five stars!"—ELMA16 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three styles). Promising review: "This is an absolute must-have, and you should order it before you’re desperately wrestling medicine into your baby’s mouth and wishing you did. My daughter wouldn’t even take a pacifier, and this still made giving her medicine 100x easier. The different components detach easily for cleaning, and the syringe is a standard size, so it’s compatible with most bottles. If/when your kid outsmarts or outgrows the pacifier part of it, the syringe is still functional and nice to have on hand." —JH This is suitable for infants 0–24 months and is BPA-free, heavy metal-free, lead-free, phthalate-free, and plastic-free. Tentacle Teether is a small business and USA-made. Promising review: "I’ve tried ALL the teethers, believe me. This one truly stands out. I love how easy it is for my baby to hold it himself. I also love how I can put it on my finger and make it a fun activity for us to share together. He really gets going on the individual tentacle suckers; they definitely seem more satisfying for his little gums than others we’ve tried. Love love this product, thank you!" —Quinn 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 forehead... no good. In-ear thermometers...accurate, but expect a battle. Rectal thermometers...very 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 $22.98+ (available in two colors). The image above is of my daughter last Easter — we were outside most of the day and she *shockingly* kept these on throughout all our activities. Okay, to be fair, those activities were mostly talking, drinking, and watching the kids play with Easter eggs *but* nearly 3,000 other reviewers have written about their experiences with these frames too! Probably best to listen to them. Promising review: "We love these little sunglasses! They’re well-made, sturdy, and super cute. They fit my one-year-old perfectly, and she kept them well into the toddler years." —Steph Z. Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors/patterns). Classic as these iconic frames may be, it's hard to find them for babies! Which is a shame, because they look fantastic. They're recommended for kids 2–8, but there are babies in the website images as young as 13 months — to help give you an idea of the fit on infants. If that age range sounds wide, that's because it is! A toddler's face becomes longer and leaner as they age, which means that if you've got a high-quality pair of frames, they can last for years. P.S. The image above with the toddler holding the candy cigarettes? Yeah, that's my kid. Once I put these glasses on her face, I knew she needed a Grease "Bad Sandy" photoshoot. And I wasn't wrong! I promise it's candy. And I promise these glasses are worth the spontaneous photoshoots they'll insist upon. Get them from Milk Teeth for $16 (available in three colors). 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 it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in multiple pack styles). Pieces: 8 recipe cards, 1 wooden spoon, 24 wooden ingredients, instructions, and a parent guide Promising review: "My kiddos (3 and 2) love this game! There are a few different ways to play with different instructions and varying degrees of difficulty, so the game grows with your little one. The ingredient pieces are wooden and feel sturdy in your hand. Even the recipe cards are on thick cardboard, so this game will last you a long time even with players who may not be gentle. :) My kids love just 'making soup' with it even if we are not playing the game as directed. I love that it helps with number recognition, counting items, identifying items, and recognizing colors. There is no real 'winner' which is fine as we are working on teaching turn-taking right now and not necessarily the idea of win/lose. This is a great, fun game for toddlers and preschoolers." —CA gal in TX 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). 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 carrier...but 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 the 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 $165.30+ (available in six colors). Snoo was developed by Dr. Harvey Karp, a pediatrician and author of The Happiest Baby On The Block. I'm not exaggerating when I say thinking about this bassinet makes me emotional. In fact, surprisingly so as I'm writing this review. My daughter was just over 4lbs when she was born, and we couldn't believe we were able to take such a tiny baby home. I'm an anxious person and was so grateful to have a sleeping system that I was confident in. The swaddling straps are comfortable, breathable, and secure (so I knew I didn't have to worry about her rolling in the night). It follows the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for safe sleep: swaddle, on their backs, on a flat surface. My husband and I are still surprised to this day by how comfortably we slept with a newborn in our lives. I mean, I know my kid is perfect, but this bassinet *may* have had something to do with it. Shoot! One more thing (apologies for the novel) – you can buy previously used Snoos directly from their website at a lesser price, which I consider a real class act. Rentals are also available, because the company gets that *everyone* deserves a good night's sleep, even if we can't all drop the dough on a product we'll only use for six months. You love to see it. Get it new from Happiest Baby for $1,695 (also available as a rental). Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. And I say, "Hey! BuzzFeed got me to buy this, too!" After featuring this for years based on great reviews, it was the first product I bought for my own child's fine, toddler curls. I spray this on brushed, damp hair, and you'd think that dreaded baby bedhead never happened! The image on the right is after an active day of playing on a static-y slide, trying on everything in a costume box, and wearing her winter hat. After all that, her curls still look lovely and tangle-free! This stuff is the good stuff. 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 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, and keeps himself entertained. It’s easy to clean and compact for easy on-the-go snacks. Great product!" —Noe G. Get it from Amazon for $28.01+ (available in four colors and three styles). Touchland is a Latina-owned business that was founded by Andrea Lisbona in 2010. Promising review: "It’s such an adorable, thick, durable, and sturdy case for Touchland sanitizers! The sanitizer comes out smelling amazing and leaves the hands feeling clean and smelling good! There’s no way the sanitizer will leak with support like this." —Victor C. 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 it's 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 $14.89 (available in two colors). Promising review: "I bought this for my toddler to use on a trip to Disney World. It worked on every single toilet in the Disney World parks that we used, and it worked on the airplane toilet. Love that it suctions so it won’t slide around easily. Folds up well and fits in our diaper bag. It’s easy to wipe down to clean. Now that we’re back from travels, I find it’s still nice to have it in the car/diaper bag for emergencies. Very useful and I would recommend to anyone who’s got a child that isn’t quite confident on a 'big potty' yet." —M Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in five colors). It has nine (!!) pockets, adjustable straps, and it comes with a changing pad. 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 $179 (available in 10 colors) or from Amazon (available in two colors) — check out Luli Bebé's landing page for more. 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. We take this with us when we grocery shop, and it's been life-changing. We've had this for over two years and have made it work, hard, in all weather (peep my family on the right in the impressive NYC blizzard of '26). This stroller keeps us moving! Get it from Amazon for $699+ (available in two sizes) — check out Veer's landing page for other styles and accessories. Promising review: "Must have for toddlers and small children! LOVE this! My 1- and 3-year-olds 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 If my toddler hadn't had her Kiddie 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 $299 (available in seven colors). Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables, but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer, so in the morning during the school year, we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak 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 $19.80+ (available in four colors). 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 $179.99 (available in two colors). Here's what BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga has to say about it: "We took this along on a five-hour road trip to Maine, and my 3-year-old son was (and still is) obsessed. He calls it his 'pad' and loves feeling like he is just like Dad (who usually unwinds with his iPad). It's continued to keep him entertained even though he's now heard the same stories a ton of times — even my 1-year-old enjoys pressing the buttons and hearing the various songs it plays! The 'eReader' has a bunch of quizzes built in that my son loves taking over and over to challenge himself (I'm pretty impressed, TBH). This is definitely going to be a go-to item I gift to the other kids in my life this holiday season." Get it from Amazon for $17.49+ (available in two colors). Promising review: "Literal must-have for traveling with kids. We use this on long car trips or vacations. It’s a great place to color and keep markers and pencils close, and it's also great for eating in the car. On many vacations, we grab fast food to eat while we are driving, and it’s so much easier for the kids to eat with this tray that keeps all their snacks and food close to them. I honestly don’t know how we traveled without this!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 12 styles). Check out Avenlur's landing page for more gorgeous kid products and see all that they have for sale this Prime Day! Promising review: "This was easy to put together, my husband and I did it in less than an hour. The packaging is nice and doesn’t feel cheap. It feels very solid, and the wood smells like wood, so that’s nice. Also, all the holes are drilled where they are supposed to be, and only two holes (of about 64 total) were slightly stripped once fully tightened, but it doesn’t seem to impact the structural integrity, and nothing is loose." —Gullyfluff25 Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in two colors). 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 three styles and four colors). 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 $10.99+ (available in three designs). 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 $39.78+ (available in three colors and five sizes). The sleep sack above has a 1.0 TOG rating, making it ideal for room temperatures between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Knowing what temperature your child's sleep sack is made for can help kiddos sleep longer (by not waking up from being too cold) and prevent overheating or the need for extra blankets, which can be a suffocation risk. Be sure to check out the ergoPouch landing page so you can see the different styles and TOG ratings for each item (the higher the number, the warmer the material). This sleep sack is my toddler's version of a beloved baby doll. She *loves* it and wears it every single night and for most of her naps. If she isn't in it, she sleeps far, far less. She can move comfortably in it, and it's a cinch to keep on during a diaper change. Promising review: "We tried several big-name brands and had to return everything except for these. They fit him perfectly and safely (they're tighter around the neck, so they won't bunch up over his face). The sleeves snap open so his arms can be free — we keep the house around 70 degrees, and he sleeps comfortably in his pouch and a long-sleeved onesie. Expensive but completely worth it. We ended up buying several." —Megan F. Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in three sizes, 10 colors, and three TOG levels). I started giving my daughter meals from Little Spoon at 9 months, and it's become my favorite recommendation for parents who are nervous about starting their babies on solid foods and for folks considering baby-led weaning. Their system is *sleep-deprived parent-proof*, with such clear information on allergens, nutrients, and age requirements that everyone can feel confident about what their kiddo is eating. I mean it sincerely when I say the worst part about these meals is that they're so good I find myself stealing bites from my child. Ahem, often. Who let me have a kid?! Get it from Little Spoon starting at $6.49/meal (available in several meal/plan styles). Promising reviews: "We use it at night, during the day at home, and even on the go. With our first baby, we had white noise on our phones. This just makes our lives so much easier. We just leave it next to the baby with a timer, and she sleeps for a few hours." —Tatiana Figueiredo "This product has been a lifesaver! Our child LOVES the sound of rain/white noise, and this has calmed her down in the car seat sooooo much. She dislikes the car seat, and the portable machine has made our lives easier. We used it about every day for a month before the batteries finally died. Worth the money 100%." —Brianna 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 three from Amazon for $16.89 (available in eight color varieties). Promising review: "I just love this. It offers me some reassurance as she learns her balance on a board and gives me control so she doesn't start off by going too fast." —Sabrena Donohoe Get it from Ookkie for $139.99 (available in six colors) or from Amazon for $149.99 (available in five colors). The sticker turns clear when you're protected and purple when it's time to reapply. 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). Promising review: "My children are fair-skinned and extremely easy to burn. Wearing sunscreen is not optional, but they still fight me every time. Using this product was so fast and easy they didn't even complain!!" —Jeshleigh Get a two-pack from Amazon for $22.38 (available in 10 color pairs). 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 sticky 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, 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). This set is an essential part of our bath time routine! The cup has a soft, silicone top that makes it easy to pour water over my daughter's hair without it getting on her face. My daughter grew out of the top tub at around 11 months, and the bottom basin has been a great transition without filling up an entire tub for our little kid. Promising review: "First time mom here, and I have been looking for a nice quality tub for my newborn baby. This one didn’t disappoint. Good quality, great size, easy to clean, and I LOVE the style compared to the others out there. My baby is so safe and comfortable in it." —Berna Get it from Amazon for $84.99 (available in two colors). Promising review: "This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 :( and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!" —JW Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "My 2-year-old was desperate to join me in the kitchen, and I wanted to be sure she was safe. These knives come in three sizes. They are not sharp to the touch but easily cut through most fruits and vegetables! For denser foods like carrots, she needed a bit of assistance, but she was quickly chopping all of the asparagus for dinner!!! We just got these, so I can't speak to durability, but for the price, these seem like a great value for my little chef!" —Nicholas and Zarya Fogelson Get it from Amazon for $11.19+ (available in two colors). The stroller itself feels premium all on its own (it even has a five-point safety harness), easily navigating through airport security *and* city streets once folks hit their destination. Their kid will be genuinely comfortable, as it reclines from 99 degrees to 126 degrees and both the backrest and seat expand as children grow. As if that wasn't enough...the *sun canopy* is water repellent, detachable, and provides UPF 50 protection. I've talked too much already, but I own this, and I think every parent should. The end. Promising review: "This is the perfect stroller and carry-on for my kid. I've used it many times and have no complaints. It's easy to open and close, my kids' clothes fit just fine, and the best part? It fits in the overhead bin. Five stars." —Joe Get it on sale from TernX for $599 (originally $699). 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 $16.99 (available in three colors). * Parenting Products So Good, You’ll Make It Your Personal Mission To Tell All Other Parents About Them * If The Kids Are Super Quiet, They're Probably Playing With One Of These 39 Toys * Things That’ll Make Sharing A Bathroom With The Whole Family A Lot Easier * Parenting Products Under $25 That You’ll Honestly Wish You Bought Sooner * Products For First-Time Parents That’ll Make The Whole Thing 1% Less Scary * Toddlers Are Kinda Gross, Here Are 21 Problem-Solving Products To Help With *That* * Gifts That Are Both Kid *And* Parent-Approved * Products Parents Swear By For Keeping Their Homes (Mostly) Clean And Organized * Things Under $10 The Easter Bunny Might Want To Consider Putting In Your Kid’s Basket Plus, kids' mattresses, baby shower gifts, storage and organization solutions, travel must-haves, quiet toys, bassinets, toddler tricycles, baby sunnies, playmats, and finds from Walmart.
