Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in various sizes and multipacks).

Promising review: "My daughter suffers with eczema on her cheeks and I did not want her on a steroid cream she is only 7 months old. I use this morning and night and than put moisturizer on and I cannot believe how much it cleared her skin." —Danielle M.

Promising review: "This is extremely handy for filing your baby's nails without getting their nails too short. Every parent needs it!" —Rachel

Promising review: "You NEED these! PSA - Life hack - Mom hack - whatever you want to call it! If your little one loves those expensive Uncrustables….that are, you know, $10–$15 depending on where you buy and last a week if you’re lucky — buy these cutters, and then you are the coolest mom ever because you’re never out of Uncrustables and now I can make all the faves including the sun butter and jelly so it’s safe for school. You’ll thank me later!" —Amber Lewis

Promising review: "If you have a toddler who a) loves to throw their plate and b) loves to eat, you need this! The adhesion power is great, and it creates a nice distraction when eating out with the colorful animals on the interactive mat. It is easy to remove from the table, leaves no residue, and makes clean up on the go way easier than before. You simply just throw the mat away once you are done!" —Noah Miller

Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five patterns and also in a pack of 60).

Promising review: "These straps are awesome! We love to use them while traveling- they easily attach to car seats, strollers, high chairs, basically anywhere! The straps snap closed so they stay secure (compared to Velcro) and can be adjusted to different lengths. We have used these for pacifiers, toys, and even spill-proof cups. Can easily be wiped clean or even thrown into the washer with laundry." —Stephanie

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "You need these! I thought I was behind with my twins because the pouch would go everywhere or we didn't do pouches because it was too hard for them to grasp. These are a game changer. The pouch will not leak out all over the place. At first It taught them how to eat pouches without a mess. It screws onto every pouch on the market. After about six months of use, they now can use pouches without these (if I am willing to clean up a little bit), or I still use them if they are in a nice outfit or in the car seats to keep everything clean." —Emmy McCoy

Get it on Amazon for $16.98 for a pack of four (available in three colors).

Promising review: "We absolutely love these teething tubes! The tubes are hollow inside which makes them soft enough to not hurt their gums, and the included cleaning brushes make them super easy to keep clean. The fun colors are a hit, and the shape and size are just perfect for little hands to grasp. A must-have for teething babies!" —Cella

Promising review: "When I potty trained my youngest, I realized I got rid of our old step stool during a move. This was a great replacement. It's very sturdy, and I don't feel any shifting when I step on it. It's sturdy and has never toppled over a child. I also like the grip on the top so even when my kids are having lots of fun with the water and get it everywhere, there's no slipping." —lolo

Get it from Target for $10 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "If you need to be on the road very often you need one of these. Are a great brand, no PBA and overall are good quality and easy to clean. I recommend this product!" —Jarellano

Get it on Amazon for $3.99 (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "You need this. This caddy is great. It’s sturdy, really cute, and excellent quality. I love it!" —Maggie Theis

"I was gifted this bag for my baby shower and have since bought it for two other friends. This is my go to diaper bag! It has plenty of storage, with removable compartments, making it easy to travel with just about anything you need for your baby. This caddy can transition through all stages of life and needs for baby or postpartum mamas. 10/10 would recommend and would repurchase!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in two sizes and six colors)

Promising review: "We love this bottle drying rack. We purchased this with our second child. With our first we use the Boone grass. I think it’s called but this works so much better the bottom doesn’t get nasty because it’s not holding water. You can take out the bottom tray in the top and wash them to the bottles more efficiently so I think it helps them faster. It doesn’t take a ton of space on my countertops, and it really holds quite a few bottles! Trust me, you need this!!" —Kendra

Get it from Amazon for $19.46+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "As a mom of three, I have tried essentially every major rash cream on the shelf. That being said, I stand by Aquaphor! We had a huge problem with my 9mo old son coming home from daycare with a rash. After much research, I decided to spend a little more and try this ointment (it’s not a cream). I can honestly vouche that putting this on a mild-moderate rash around 5p, reapplying once or twice after, the rash was gone by 7a the next day. So I can’t soeak for the 6 hours the label claims, but defineitly does the job over night.

I’ve also used it for when my lips become extremely chapped and or when my hands are cracking from dryness. My neighbor borrowed some for a small burn once, as well. Many uses :)

I love it so much I purchased the bigger bottle for home, and the smaller 3oz bottles for his diaper bags and for daycare." —Feli

MTKIDS is a small, woman-owned business on Etsy based in Florida that specializes in customizable children's bags and aprons.

Promising review: "The toddler apron perfectly matched the photos from the shop. It is adorable. Very well made and shipped fast. Perfect custom gift to go with the new play kitchen." —Lisa

Get it from MTKIDS for $18.90+ (originally 27+; available in sizes S–M and in seven colors). 

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 $8.49+ (available in nine colors and in two-packs). 

Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children’s and the American Academy of Dermatology. 

Promising review: "I wish I had taken pictures of the amount of dead skin I have gotten off my newborn’s head!!!! The pictures posted here are legit. It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It’s amazing and gross and wonderful. My babe doesn’t even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then, I slowly started to comb the sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in different directions. It’s shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I’ve even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!" —ZMomUtah

Promising review: "I purchased this for an airplane trip with my toddler. He enjoyed buckling all of the various straps. He also learned how to do a zipper with this product. It kept him busy on the plane ride, and now I use it for long car rides, too. Its size is perfect to throw in the diaper bag for a quick distraction toy when we are on the go." —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 11 colors/styles).

Promising review: "We love the pillow fort towels for our 2-year-old. They’re a perfect size – bigger than baby towels, but not full sized. They are soft and hold up after many, many washes. We have a few of the animals and wish there were more options. Great price, too!" —Emily

Get it from Target for $15 (also available in a dinosaur, lion, narwhal, unicorn, and puppy).    

Promising review: "Grandma of 13 here, and these are the BEST plates I've ever purchased!!! The suction cups hold the plate firmly in place until you (not the baby) are ready to remove them! Very pliable, so I could cram one into the diaper bag for restaurant nights!! BUY THESE!!! You will not be disappointed!!" —Donna

Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.95.

Promising review: "I love this spray so much. I keep it in my baby’s diaper bag. It smells amazing! It also has much better ingredients than traditional hand sanitizers. My husband makes fun of me because I say how much I love the spray almost every time I use it." —RJ

Get it from Amazon for $4.39+ (available in two scents and also in a pack of three).

Promising review: "I love this! It saves a lot of space in the diaper bag by just being able to hook it on the side of the bag or stroller. It’s super easy to clean too! I just throw it in the dishwasher. I will for sure buy another one!" —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Easy and mess-free coloring great for car and plane trips, dining out, etc. It says for ages 3+, but if your kid is old enough to hold a crayon, they are old enough to enjoy this. Also, have a 6-year-old who still likes the one I bought him several years ago. Seem to hold up fairly well to repeat use." —The Major Family

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six themes).

Promising review: "I ordered these for my toddlers playroom and he throws them around, yanks them off the shelf and drags them through the house! They have stood the test of time and are still holding up. It’s also super easy to just grab one filled with his toys and either bring it outside or throw it in the car and go!" —Carly Gagne

Get it from Amazon for $15.74+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).

Promising review: "I bought these shelves for our baby nursery, it’s the perfect size and looks great!! I would recommend paper back books for these shelves as they are not wide enough to hold more than a few hard back books. They are also a useful way to display cards! I’m very pleased with this purchase!!" —Dleavell

Get a set of three on Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of four, six, and eight). 

Promising review: "My 4-year-old twins and I LOVE this! They love being able to see all of their crayons/markers/ scissors, etc. I love that their coloring items are organized, look cute, and not all over our house. I was pleasantly surprised how much it holds; it fits all of our supplies perfectly. We keep ours on our Ikea shelf in the playroom, and everyone who comes over comments on now cool it is. I consider it a must-have item, and can't recommend it enough! Just buy it; you won't regret it!" —MElgin

Promising review: "I had enough room on my shelf for two and I love them! No more digging to find the tumbler you want — just grab it. Probably one of the best purchases I have made this year." —Tonille Burrows

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in packs of two, three, and four).

 HappylifemagicShop is a mom-owned small business that makes handmade sensory and dough kits for kiddos. 

Promising review: "These little jars are magic! My kiddo loves to play with them on rotate and it will entertain her (us) for hours, every day. She gets so excited to play with her sensory bin now. She tells me which one she wants to play with and loves it. The customer service is amazing and we had a nice little chat as well. I highly recommend purchasing from Happy Life Magic. We can’t wait to receive our second order tomorrow, I know our week will be filled with fun and excitement!" —Colleen Farner

Get it from HappylifemagicShop on Etsy for $6.99 (available in a variety of themes).

Promising review: "Perfect weight and softness as a calming tool for my 3-year-old. I also enjoy cuddling with it!" —Carianne 

Get it from Target for $25 (also available in a green dinosaur, chicken, horse, pig, and a pegasus).

Promising review: "I love it! Best money I've ever spent. My children and I are a buffet for mosquitoes during summer, and this little device works amazing, given that it doesn’t use chemicals. I can use it on anyone, any time, and it’s so easy to clean and reusable. I would definitely recommend this Bug Bite Thing to everyone! The best thing is that it immediately stops the itching, and the bite goes away within a few minutes of using it. It’s so easy, and even the kids can do it. You won’t regret this purchase!!!!" —Lilian Perez

Promising review: "If you have small kids, babies, or dogs, these are great to keep on hand. Although more expensive than some alternatives, they work well and don’t irritate the skin like other wipes. I like to keep some of these in the car and my bag, just in case. They also work great for snotty noses, sticky fingers, and dirty puppy faces. They are a little smaller than other baby-type wipes, but I feel more comfortable using them than others. They also have a pleasant scent and are pretty durable." —Angela Bowman
