Oh yeah, you’ll totally be the favorite.

I've been a BuzzFeed Contributor since 2020 and I'm always on the lookout for products that are the perfect blend of form and function — especially if it's in the realms of parenting, travel, and home goods and décor.

Promising review: "Love everything about it. The colors are not too bright, and the music is nice and not your typical classical music that’s in all other baby toys. My baby loves playing with it." —2boysmama

Promising review: "I bought this for my grandson for Christmas, and this looks like it will be a nice gift for him and hopefully will get him away from his tablet for a while." —Bagglady 46

Promising review: "I bought this for my 1-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. All the kids were fighting to ride it." —Nonna G

Promising review: "It's hard to keep my son busy when he's inside, but this is his go-to when he needs to get some energy out. He dribbles it around the house in circles and plays both soccer and basketball with it. I work in an office below him, so I appreciate that it makes zero noise!" —3radReese

Promising review: "I purchased this for our music-loving 2-year-old, and she is completely obsessed. It’s smaller than I expected, which is a nice surprise; it’s light but still feels well-made. It’s charming to look at, and other than batteries, it comes 100% ready to go. I’m so glad I made this purchase, and so is she." —Kioni P

Promising review: "This toy has brought us so much joy! Much bigger and longer than expected." —SarahPenn

Promising review: "I purchased this for my friend's daughter. It was her first birthday, and at the time, she was barely walking on her own. She managed to push and hold on for balance. After she turned one, she used to sit and ride it like a bike. Needs a battery to play music. Super happy with purchase and will purchase again!" —Asia78

Promising review: "My nephew loves it. He even takes the dinosaur to bed when he's not using the backpack. It's the perfect size." —KimPas

Promising review: "My 9-month-old loves to hold this toy! She likes the ribbons and light up and the sound feature as well!" —BriannaMJP

Promising review: "SO CUTE. My nieces loved all the medical equipment and the really precious stuffed animals." —Sarah

Promising review: "Always need something for the car! Not anymore! These are perfect! Keep ‘em coming!" —Gma

Price: $69.99 (available in eight colors)

Promising review: "These stacking blocks are sturdy, colorful, and great for hands-on learning. I love that they’re not just cubes, the different-sized sides make it creative and fun. My kids have been playing with them nonstop. They’re perfect for everyday creative activities!" —Coziestblanket

Price: $29.99 (available in four colors)

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
