Promising review: "These are great! I use them for my kiddo's jeep wagon and it fits on there without issue." —anonymous

Promising review: "SafeFit Car Seat and Stroller Organizer is exactly what I didn't know I needed! After being fed up with the constant chaos of toys, water bottles, and miscellaneous items all over the car, I installed this in my car, and BOY WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Everything has a place and there's a place for everything. It's not bulky or cumbersome. Spacious enough to fit a bunch of things. Worth it. I recommend it." —Ashley 

Promising review: "I can't believe what a good brushing I'm able to give my toddler with this! The app with the stickers is motivating and he likes that his brush is similar to mine so we can brush together. I feel like he's getting a really good cleaning and the neck is nice and long to reach the back molars." —Heather

Promising review: "I love this sound machine and so does my little one! Helps block out noise and helps my 2-month-old sleep. It can get pretty loud if you'd like it to be, which is very convenient. Instead of batteries like our last sound machine had (which sucked) this one includes a charger. I recommend this sound machine!" —Alyssa

Promising review: "Munchkin Stay Put Plates do exactly what they claim to do! STAY PUT! When I place the plate onto the table for my 2-year-old grandson, it cannot be knocked off onto the floor! Saves time and pain in my back from cleaning the floor! Thanks Walmart for carrying them!" —Leah

Price: $13.95+ for two (available in two color combos)

Promising review: "So this product is great for afternoon showers at the theme parks, but recently with COVID have been able to put to great use when having to be out with my toddler in public. She is protected and not touching everything. I clip a battery-operated fan on her stroller under the plastic for circulation and give her videos for entertainment. Makes grocery shopping for parents much safer and easier!" —tracey

Price: $13.99+ (available in two colors) 

Promising review: "These are perfect for on-the-go with your children! Great for long car rides to keep those children busy." —Sidney

Promising review: "We use this every night with our child. We notice a significant difference on nights when we miss the spray. The spray is easy to use, and my child does not mind it. The product works great and helps my child breathe easily in the night." —Ashley

Price: $4.47+ (originally $5.99+; available in packs of one or three)

Promising review: "Our newborn tested positive for COVID, and since there's no meds or remedies for someone so small, we turned to the Frida humidifier, with the vapor drops, and Frida saline mist, with the Frida nose sucker. IT WAS A LIFE-SAVER! Baby boy began to improve by the next day!" —Breanna

Promising review: "This calendar was purchased a few months ago. It came in perfect condition and included everything shown. I was able to hang it up with a thumb tack, and it's still hanging up well. I like how it's like a whiteboard, so if magnets are lost, you can use a dry-erase marker! That's honestly my favorite feature since my household is like a zoo with three hyperactive boys, all 11 years and younger. Things get lost around here. Lol. It's a very helpful tool for homeschooling, and our mornings have more structure with it! It gives us lots of opportunities for him to (excitedly) learn about weather, holidays, days of the week, etc!" —Eric

Promising review: "I love this product! Yes, it is mostly petroleum, but it works! I use it on my grandson's diaper rash, my belly roll rash, dry skin in the wintertime, my dry hands before bedtime, and the occasional scrape/rug rash the grandkids get. I love being able to have the purse size all the way up to home size (7oz). It is fragrance-free, which is another plus. It is clear and can just be rubbed in instead of trying to wipe it off or having to go scrub your hands! Can't live without it." —mscraun

Promising review: "This thermometer works great. I highly recommend it. It's easy to use and the batteries are included. I have used it to check the temperature of my kids when they have a fever and are sleeping. The screen changes color depending on the temperature. Which is a great feature. You can easily switch between body temperature and surface. I like that it keeps the last 50 temperatures. It is lightweight and easy to carry it around with you." —Eduardo

Promising review: "I was blown away by how well this product worked. I sprayed it on my 2 year olds day old strawberry stained shirt and it completely removed the stain. Not even the slightest color was left behind. I have never had a product do that before. I would highly recommend this!!!" —Kyla14

Price: $7.97+ (available in three sizes and three quantities)

Promising review: "This is helpful for my kiddo who is having a hard time transitioning from one activity to another. It's a great visual representation of time for her! The donut on it is an added bonus. 🫶🏻" —Natalie

Price: $12.99 (originally $17.99; available in four colors)

Promising review: "Amazing for your little ones when they are sick! Has everything you need for a stuffy/runny nose. Kids love it!" —anonymous

Promising review: "Got these to help with hands that can't reach far enough for handwashing comfortably. These helped! Allowed water to reach the proper temperature and make washing less of a hardship. Great product for young and also adults! Easy to apply to a standard bathroom faucet. Rubber/plastic end fits over faucet, no leaking or mess made. Can adjust height of downspout to best angle." —Stacy

Promising review: This little thing is amazing. My 1-month-old caught a cold from my twins, and this product made it so easy to keep his little nose clear and breathing easily. This was worth every penny and I recommend it to everyone I know." —Angela

Promising review: "My grandchildren loved this! Large sheets of strong paper that held up to the many layers of paint. Very easy clean up with no staining." —Nancy

Price: $20.42+ (also available in a two-pack)

Promising review: "With this being the first year of kindergarten, it makes lunch at school super easy for him and the staff. We dont have to worry if he can open his snacks or other items because its conveniently all in its own space. Not only does it save time its light weight and spillproof." —Pam

Promising review: "Love the built in ice packs, throw it in freezer and good to go next day. Stays cold all day." —cynditooty

Promising review: "AirTags are easy to sync with your iPhone (directions provided) and easy to keep track of your selected items!" —Nancy

Promising review: "We now own three of these brushes because we love them so much. They brush great with wet hair and dry hair. My daughter who has a really sensitive head prefers this brush over any other brushes we've had. I love that they come in lots of colors, so you can tell whose brushes whose but these pink ones have been nice and standard. When they get full of hair, it's easy to clean the hair out." —Alyssa 

Price: $8.94+ (available in nine colors)

Promising review: "The product was light and refreshing. Not to heavy on my daughter's hair. Definitely helped with the static and tangles. Enjoy using this!" —Brooke

Price: $6.72 (also available in a two-pack)

Promising review: "I love this gadget! I got it for my grandson to cut grapes and it works and is very easy to use. Love that it has a cap to put over it when not in use. Seems like my utensil drawer is always a mess and I don't want the cutter on this getting messed up." —Monica

I have this book and use it for my family. I love it! 

Price: $14.99+ (available in two styles)

Promising review: "Best small first aid kit i have found. The adhesive strips stick well and the first aid ointment and hand sanitizer is just enough for quick on the go skin fixing and protecting." —tweety486

Promising review: "I love the variety of colors that come in this pack! Their small size is great, too. I throw a couple in my bag and can whip them out for my 3 year old while we're waiting at the doctor's office or t-ball practice. Awesome price for so many!" —kiersten

Promising review: "These Munchkin Snack Catchers are pure genius for anyone with a soon-to-be toddler who loves independence but hates cleaning up an entire floor full of crumbs. Why they're perfect: The soft silicone flaps let little hands reach in for puffs, Cheerios, or yogurt melts but keep almost nothing spills out — even when the cup gets turned upside down or thrown (and it will be thrown) You get TWO cups for one low price — one lives permanently in the diaper bag for car rides and errands, the other stays in the kitchen for everyday snack time Bright blue and green colors are fun and easy to spot in a crowded bag, plus gender neutral! Top-rack dishwasher safe and super quick to hand-wash too Seriously, these have already saved countless vacuum sessions. Grabbed them on Walmart.com and the price was way better than anywhere else. If you're tired of finding crushed snacks in every crevice of the car seat, do yourself a favor and add these to the cart!" —Lucy

Promising review: "The Munchkin Dandy Dots Bath Kneeler is perfect for bath time. The pattern is so bright and cute. I didn't realize what a difference this product would make. Perfect relief for my knees during the bath time routine." —Sara

Promising review: "I am so glad I bought this apple slicer! What an improvement over my old one. The handles make it very easy to push down into the apple. I like that it makes more slices than some of them do. A helpful bonus is that it comes with an attached thing that you use to easily push out the slices with. Very much worth it!" —Anonymous 

Promising review: "I love this mini waffle maker. It makes single serve waffles fast and no cleanup after required. My kids love waffles and this is my go to on school mornings when I am rushing. Definitely recommend this waffle maker." —Tina
