Promising reviews: "This thing is fantastic! I knew I wanted to use it with my kids, but hadn’t really figured out how; one of my kids is now using the light as a comfort and the breathing rhythm to slow herself down to go to sleep!" —Sadiesketch

"This little cloud is too cute! It lives on my kid’s shelf, and when they’re struggling with big emotions, it has proven to help them breathe and calm down. (Of course, sometimes they’re too angry to want to use it, but when they are willing, it helps!) One of my kids enjoys turning off the light before bedtime and doing some slow breathing just because. I think it is a useful tool for adults, too. I recommend you give it a try!" —LES

Because the tin isn't joking when it says for ages 3–99, let me tell ya. My family has three of these sets because they're just that easy to throw in gloveboxes, purses, and play bags, so there's always something to fiddle with, whether we're on a plane or just waiting at the doctor's office. 

Promising review: "Quality is exactly what I expected for Magna-Tiles! I wanted an engaging toy for restaurants and travel, and since we have a massive Magna-Tile collection at home, I knew it would keep my toddlers entertained. I grabbed one for each toddler and love them!" —Taylor Hayes

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in original, spring garden theme, and a heart pastel theme).

Puracy is a small, family-owned business dedicated to creating natural and organic formulas that are not only effective but also safe for kids and pets. Aside from food stains, this spray also does a number on all other miscellaneous spots in your life, like wine, coffee, makeup, and period blood!

Promising review: "I have 2.5-year-old twins who make a mess with everything, as well as a 6-month-old who gets formula milk and food around the top of her clothes. This has been a lifesaver. I buy it as a gift for every baby shower I go to. I threw out so many clothes of my twins that I couldn’t get the stains out of them. One of my twins got blackberries all over my white down comforter. Spraying this was so easy, it broke down the bright purple/red stain super fast and didn’t cause any damage." —Brandi Martinez

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

Promising review: "This playground is absolutely beautiful. It is an aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching addition to your yard, on top of being a thoroughly engaging and well-detailed playground for your child. This is a product that your child can grow with. My daughter is 3-and-a-half, and I imagine that she will be able to enjoy this playground until she's at least eight or nine, and maybe much longer. It definitely takes a few hours to properly construct, but I believe the price and the construction are all well worth the end product." —Rachael H.

Get it from Avenlur for $1,559 (originally $1,829).

Application is super easy, just wipe the surface, apply three of the included adhesive stickers, place it on the corner, and hold it for 30 seconds.

Promising review: "Must-have. I love these. We just moved in with family, and they had a coffee table with super-sharp corners, and I have a little one who pulls up on everything and is trying to walk. To say I was on edge is an understatement. My sister-in-law didn’t want an obnoxious baby-proof item around her house, but these were so discrete she didn’t even notice that I had installed them. They are so soft that my little one started gumming on them to soothe his gums, LOL. They were super easy to install, stuck on very well, and with not much effort, and came with plenty, so if I need them, I’ll have them handy. Super satisfied! If you’re thinking about getting, then please do!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I can’t be happier with this toy. I bought it for my kids so they can use it during flights. Our flight was four hours long, and this thing saved me! My kids played with it the whole time! She made flowers, a sun, a self-portrait, a rainbow, glasses, a necklace, and so many more! It is light and sticks to any surface, and best of all, it doesn’t make a MESS! I’m gonna buy some more so she can play with them at home! 😍" —Chad McClintock

Promising review: "My grandson likes that it can get warm in the microwave and cold in the freezer. He loves manatees. He thinks it is really soft and really cute! (He told me to write this.)" —Grandma Marva

Promising review: "My grandkids aged between 2–10 years love it, plus it's simple to use. One button to push to clear the screen. Has an attached pen that is great to use, but you can use other things to write on the screen. Definitely worth the price. So far, it has offered hours of entertainment, which lately seems pretty impossible when competing with an iPad." —Lori

Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical at first with how cheap this is, but it is so far the best crustless sandwich maker. It is easy to use and easy to clean." —Kaitlyn Good

Promising reviews: "We have always been Hatch fans with the Hatch Rest, but the Hatch Baby takes it to a new level! We love the new features that have been added to the Hatch Baby, from the shape, the dial on the top to control volume, dimming options on the Hatch, and more. In addition to that, the enhancements in the app are wonderful. They now have it organized by Baby, Toddler, and Kid with custom options for each based on what works best for that age. It’s impressive to say the least. They also have new colors, sounds, and stories, which I love. Lastly, the expert support option is AMAZING. As a new mom, I’ve spent my fair share of time googling, and this support is a game-changer. I’ve been struggling with getting our son on the right nap schedule so we could get him to go to sleep a little earlier so having this support is what I need. We love Hatch and love the Hatch Baby! Would recommend to anyone!!" —Ashley O

Promising reviews: "This little tool is my favorite gift to add on for baby showers. Not many new moms register for it, but SO many friends have commented on how thankful they are to have it once baby arrives. Simple yet effective design to help keep those little airways patent. I am a nurse and absolutely love this product for getting those surface-level boogers out vs pulling out the deep suction all the time." —Jake Hosler

"This is really helpful to get boogers that are close to coming out; they don’t reach very deep, though. I usually use it along with a bulb syringe to get the job done. It would be a great baby shower gift, I wish I had it sooner." —Amazon Customer

"Oh, my. I love this. I wish I had this with my first. I love how non-invasive it is. The ears of the bear make it so you can't go too deep. When you have a wiggly baby, that's a nice feature. I love this thing. I seriously wish I had known about this sooner. I tell ALL new parents to get one. If possible, I try to give an Oogie Bear to my friends at their baby showers. LOVE Oogiebear!!" —FishinMommy

Playhouse MD was born when two sisters, a doctor and an award-winning toy creator, Kaitlin and Sydney Wiseman, came together to transform kids’ healthcare with a dose of play. (Psst. Sydney Wiseman created the uber-popular Fingerlings toys!)

Promising review: "I was skeptical about getting this since my baby doesn't really like pacifiers, but this has been so helpful with giving her medicine. The shape is less scary to her compared to a syringe going into her mouth. She doesn't push the medicine out when we use it, and it's so simple to use and clean after." —Ashley H

Get it from Amazon for $12.74 (also available in a spaceship design, and in multi-packs).

Promising reviews: "This is the bassinet I should have bought in the first place. I got a Halo off of Facebook Marketplace and hated it. Used a pack 'n play, and it was okay, but this is so convenient. I wish I had purchased it right away so I could have had it immediately postpartum, when I was sore. I can just reach over and console him and go back to bed!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $143.99+ (available in nine colors/styles).

Promising reviews: "I was having a tough time keeping up with sterilizing bottle parts because we don’t own a microwave, so I would have to do it in a big pot on the stove. Needless to say, that definitely didn’t happen every day like they recommend you do. Purchasing this sterilizer was a great choice, and I can definitely tell the difference in the cleanliness of my bottle parts. Wish I had gotten it as soon as my twins were born instead of waiting a couple months!" —S Conner

Get it from Amazon for $131.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I was hesitant to spend the money on this product at first. Initially, it seemed more worth it to just heat up a bottle the old-fashioned way. This item did not make it on my registry, as I thought it would be a waste of money. It did not seem like a necessity. After a few months of heating up bottles in the middle of the night with a crying baby, anxiously awaiting his bottle, I decided to give this a go. I was not disappointed. I found the instructions very easy to use and put it together in about five minutes. I also found it easy to adjust the machine to the formula you are using. My bottle is ready in a minute, and my baby is very satisfied! No more listening to crying for 5–10 minutes while I am waiting for a bottle to heat up. This thing is instant! It has especially been helpful for those middle-of-the-night bottles. I think the only downside is that you have to clean out the dispenser every four bottles. It's not super hard, but it can be a bit annoying if you aren't paying attention. If you are using a formula for your baby, this item is a must-have." —Meghan Scheer

Get it from Amazon for $229.97 (replacement funnel and cover are also available here).

Promising reviews: "Our little one slept in this almost every night from the time we purchased it until we stopped swaddling her at 12 weeks. If you're thinking about buying one of these...DO IT!" —Amazon Customer

"Definitely add this one to your gift registry if you’re a new parent. Don’t know how we could survive the first few days and weeks without it!" —Sergio I Lopez

This kit includes Saline Nasal Spray and Saline Drops, nasal aspirator, Baby Gas Relief Drops, Infant Fever and Pain Relief with Acetaminophen, Gripe Water for Babies, and Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Cream, and Ointment for Baby.

Promising review: "The Little Remedies New Baby Essentials Kit is a must-have for any new parent! It comes with all the basics you didn’t even realize you’d need until 2 a.m. with a fussy baby. From gas relief drops to saline spray and gripe water, every product is gentle, effective, and safe for newborns. I really appreciate the clean ingredients and how easy everything is to use. It’s also a perfect baby shower gift—practical and thoughtful. This kit seriously saved us during those first few weeks!" —Caitlin Lee

Promising review: "I cannot express how much I love the Newton Baby Travel Crib and Play Yard. As a parent who frequently travels, this product has been an absolute game-changer for us. First and foremost, safety is paramount when it comes to our little one, and the Newton Baby Travel Crib provides peace of mind. The breathable mesh sides ensure excellent airflow, reducing the risk of overheating, and the firm, comfortable mattress offers a safe sleep environment. We slept soundly knowing our baby was secure. Setting up and folding down the crib is a breeze. It takes just minutes, and the compact size when folded makes it easy to transport. We've used it in hotels, at family gatherings, and even for picnics in the park.

The included travel bag is a handy addition for on-the-go convenience. The versatility of this crib is fantastic. It's not just for sleeping; our little one loves playing in it too. The spacious interior provides enough room for toys, and the sturdy construction means it can handle the occasional toddler exuberance. Cleaning is simple—the mattress cover is machine washable, and the rest of the crib can be wiped clean with ease. It's a parent's dream!

Overall, the Newton Baby Travel Crib and Play Yard is a top-notch product. It's safe, convenient, versatile, and well worth the investment for parents who travel frequently or just want a portable crib for their child. I can't recommend it enough!" —Jonathan E. Young

Promising reviews: "This is a great item! Very happy I got it for my 6-month-old. So convenient..wish I purchased it sooner." —Angel D

"This thing is worth every penny! We take it with us to the beach, camping, and even in the backyard to keep the dogs from bumping into the baby. I wish I had it with my first baby. It is easy to set up and take down. I can even do it while I'm holding my baby. She loves lying in it too! I also love how flat it folds down to. It takes hardly any room in my trunk. Love love love it!" —SarahSweets

Promising review: "This is a must-have for babies. I had one with my first baby, and I definitely made sure to get one for my second baby. I like just being able to lay it down on a changing table for my baby to lie on comfortably. It’s compact, light, and convenient to just grab and go. Perfect for a short trip or just so you don’t have to carry a whole backpack into the bathroom. Material is smooth and easy to wipe off. It fits perfectly in a diaper bag and is sturdy." —Cindy Tra

Promising reviews: "I wish I would have bought this for myself! It's way better than other ones I've had. Such a great baby gift. You can put tons of stuff in here, especially the pockets. Easy to move from room to room." —Dan, Kade & Sam

"The quality is excellent! I have this on my nightstand right beside my bed and it makes my night time changes a million times easier! As a mom of four I wish I had this with all of them! Easy to organize and more than enough space. It has pockets on the side which I love! The color is nice and its portability makes it easy when we are on vacations to take with us and keep our night times just as easy no matter where we're at! This will absolutely be a gift to all my expecting mommy friends! Thank you so much for such a great product and fast and FRIENDLY service! I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone." —Amber Miller

Promising review: "I wish I knew about this warmer two years ago when I had my second child and when I was an FTM 11 years ago! Because this warms the wipes from the top, they NEVER dry out. I've been using this wipe warmer for two weeks now, and it's the best one I've ever bought!! It even worked for the cloths that the hospital gave to me to soak with water and wipe the baby with for the first few weeks (I just couldn't put them through the dispenser part since they weren't connected like baby wipes are)." —C. Doak

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two colors and a portable version).

Promising review: "At first, I didn’t want to register for the shusher. I thought, 'This is ridiculous. Why would I need a machine to shh my baby when I can just make the sound myself?' It wasn’t until our newborn photographer used it at our newborn session that I realized how amazing this is. It’s some sort of magic. Two seconds after turning it on, she fell asleep. Yes, shushing yourself also works. However, I quickly realized that the amount of shushing my baby requires causes me to become light headed relatively quickly. This is now my go-to baby gift for our friends and family." —Zach and Kitty

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (also available in a gift set and three-pack).

Promising review: "These have drastically decreased the number of times my toddlers have had a leak overnight. My toddlers wear diapers sized 5–7, and they work fine in all three. We make sure to put them toward the front of the diaper. Much more absorbent than women’s pantiliners." —Sarah

Promising review: "Obsessed with this thing! We use it all the time, and it is so convenient to have. We have toddlers, and so we have to cut up their grapes and grape tomatoes, and it was such a tedious task, but with this thing, I get it done so fast, and they like helping with it too. I also like the size of it. We have the other grape cutter that is smaller, and I like that one a lot too, but this one is better in my opinion because of how big it is. The other one can’t do Costco-sized grapes and tomatoes, and with this one, I haven’t gotten any fruit that doesn’t fit." —A. Martin

Promising review: "These are great for both my kids (one and three). My toddler likes to pick out different ones each time, and my baby cannot peel them off the table. They are perfect for going out to eat, mess-free." —Taylor

Promising reviews: "I friggin love this thing!! After having my second, we needed an upgrade. The $700+ wagons seemed a little absurd to me, so I searched for a good alternative for months. Comparing them all online, reading reviews. I’m so glad I went with this one. I have a 2-and-a-half-year-old and a 2-month-old. Baby's seat sits nicely in the infant seat sling (included!!), and big bro can sit behind. I love that it can be pushed or pulled; our old wagon could only be pulled. Haven’t tested out how it goes on various terrain, but it goes well on my rocky dirt driveway, grass, and pavement. Easy to fold, kinda heavy (fits in my 2013 Rogue snugly), comes with two basket-style storage attachments." —Jones

"I have two kids, a 7-year-old and a 3-year-old, and I wish I had bought this sooner. It does take up my whole trunk because I have a Honda Civic, but honestly, I don't care; it's so convenient. Great for walks; it works well in most terrains, def recommend!" —spider

Get it from Amazon for $143.99+ (available in three styles and 17 colors).

Promising review: "Strong, sturdy, and perfect for my toddler twins. I saw one of these at the therapist's office, and my boys liked it, so I bought one. This is the exact one they had. It's tough and sturdy, and they like being in it and being spun gently. This toy is built to take any roughhousing they can dish out. We love it!" —Laura S

Promising reviews: "I was skeptical when I saw this because I know how hard it is to put sunscreen on kids... The struggle is real... But this is amazing! My kids loved how it glides on and spreads so easily. I also tried it on my younger cousins (18 months and 3 years old), and they smiled and wanted to do it themselves! This is a must-have for any parent, and honestly, it's great for adults, too!" —Mama Bear

"This is genius! I have a 2- and 4-year-old, and applying sunscreen has always been a struggle. They love putting sunscreen on themselves now! Recommend this 100%." —ss1983
