Promising review: "Aquaphor works great to prevent diaper rash on my infant. It also makes cleaning the area easier and moisturizes the skin. I use Aquaphor during every diaper change and am one of those parents who swear by it! Highly recommended for this reason." —Anita

You'll receive 20 sheets per roll, and the sheets are machine washable and reusable up to 120+ times before discarding.

Promising review: "Wow. I just used these for the first time to wash my windows. I get a lot of oily dirt from the road, and it usually smears around and gets stuck in whatever old washcloth or sock I am using. As soon as I dropped these in my bucket of soapy water and gave them a little scrub, the dirt lifted right out like magic. Next, I used them to clean crumbs and spills out of my fridge and freezer, and the same thing — they rinsed clean (almost clean) right away. There's some dirt still in them, but I'll put them through the wash next." —SBP

Promising review: "We have been using Tiles for years, and this one doesn't disappoint. We purchased this one as an extra to place in luggage while on trips or for our child to have while we're traveling, so that we can find them or they can 'ring' us if we ever get separated. While some people may not like that it doesn't give you an exact location, we find that it works fine for our situation. These do not have a GPS onboard and, as such, only connect to someone's nearby phone running the Tile app. These are lifesavers for finding your keys from your phone or your phone using the Tile itself. These newer models with a replaceable battery are awesome!" —Tony

Promising review: "What a fun thing to add to the bathroom! My kids needed a night-light for those nocturnal trips to the bathroom, so why not make it silly, too? The unit is pretty small, and the arm folds easily over the bowl of our Toto toilet. It's waterproof, so that's nice for cleaning, too. The light is bright; it will rotate through a few colors. If you want one of them, just tap the switch, and it will only be that color. A super fun gift for the home. Seriously, get one." —Emily J. Larsen

Promising review: "I love these corner protectors! I have been using them for years to prevent my kids from hurting themselves when they bump into all the sharp corners of our furniture! My oldest is 11, and I still use them so that he doesn't hurt his head when he bumps into the tall nightstand next to his bed. I love that they are clear so they are discreet. When you go to remove them, it doesn't leave an annoying sticky residue like other types of protectors." —Amazon Fanatic

Promising review: "My daughter looks like a college student after a night at the bar when she wakes up each morning... With just a few sprays, I can tame her hair so easily before we head out the door early in the morning. It's the only product I use in her hair, and I keep buying it!" —Megan cahill

Note: Some reviewers mention that this will take up a lot of legroom in the backseat, depending on your car seat setup.

Promising review: "Great for car, truck, or SUV. Easy to install and the kiddos love using it, so it is a big win for me. I have five grandkids, and they love going with grams, but they constantly leave their trash behind. Not anymore! And it also holds a lot of trash. As a matter of fact, they tell me when it’s full and will take the bag out and put a new one in. Simple to use, no mess, and everyone is happy." —Tammie Russell

Promising review: "I originally purchased the Blooming Bath, but it was difficult to use with a tiny newborn in our sink since it’s so deep. It took two of us to bathe him. I received this Angelcare bath today, and we loved it. I was able to bathe my son by myself. It’s soft but structured, so it kept him in place. I was worried he would slide out, but it held him in a comfortable position very well. I liked that it’s perforated so I could fill the tub a few inches, and it keeps him warm while also allowing the water to go through as I rinse him. Plus, there’s no worry about mold or mildew with this product. Definitely recommend." —darksideoftheluna

Promising review: "This bath rinse cup has been a fantastic addition to our bath time routine. It has a removable rain shower insert, which makes rinsing my daughter’s hair and body gentle and tear-free, which is a huge relief for both of us. The handle is comfortable to hold, even with wet hands, and it is never too heavy, even when full. The cup’s versatility to switch between a steady stream and a soft shower is perfect, depending on which child we are bathing and what they prefer. It’s also super easy to clean. The price is super reasonable for how functional it is, and I would highly recommend it to any new parent!" —Henry

I've had nothing but success with Pillowfort bathroom products; we've still been using bath mats and classics like the dinosaur hooded towel for years. It's nice to see a new style pop up for bath time. 

Promising review: "My oldest child randomly gets car sick (we learned the hard way). I purchased these to keep in my purse at all times, and they come in a cute little travel container that makes them easy to find and access — just toss and go. Many, many times and trips we have used these chewables for both my kids, and they enjoy the flavor, and we don't have any issues as long as they are taken in the 30- to 60-minute window before we leave for our trips. Highly recommend having on hand for any parent with a child who gets car sick." —Kimber

Promising review: "I use this almost exclusively on my 5-month-old and have since she was a newborn. I LOVE it. It’s so much easier than using clippers, and it does come with clippers if you ever need them. It’s so gentle that it doesn’t hurt them if you accidentally slip, but it does work to file the nails down! When she was a newborn, I used it when she fell asleep on me after feeding (much easier when she’s asleep), and now that she only sleeps in her crib, I use it while distracting her with Baby Einstein. I definitely recommend this product!" —Kathryn

Promising review: "These things are lifesavers! I don’t know about you, but my toddler will just spill stuff just because he can lol! These cups have saved me from the constant cleanup. It’s a small catcher, but perfect for their little hands to go in and out of. We have had two, and I’m definitely considering ordering more since we use these daily!" —Skylar Watson

Usage: Reviewers note that washing these with water can damage the cling technology, but otherwise, these should work for years to come. 

Promising review: "I love these! When I had my first baby, I got the old-school suction-cup pull-down window shades as a shower gift. They sucked! They would fall down when I hit a bump and curl up on the edges. Finally gave up and took them down. Fast forward four years to baby #2. We live down south, and the sun is HOT, so I really wanted to have something on the window for the poor little darling back there. A friend told me about these, so I ordered them, and they are awesome! I gave the backside a little wipe down with a baby wipe and stuck them on the windows, and they have been hanging on perfectly for the past couple of months. Window coverage is good; tint is effective. The only thing I will say is don't forget that these are on your windows and roll them down as I did. Doing this caused one corner to bend slightly. Hasn't affected performance at all, and I understand this is a mess-up on my part! Also, not a concern to me because I'm not storing them right now, but I do find them difficult to fold up." —Kelly

Promising review: "These Boogie Wipes work wonders; the kid doesn’t cry when using these when I try to get his nose cleaned up! We will be getting more. They are easy to use, the perfect amount of moisture, and the smell isn’t overpowering." —Nathan stone

Promising Review: "All bottle brushes are NOT created equal. This one is better than the others. Go ahead and spend the extra because it's totally worth it. Here's why...I spent the first couple of months using a less expensive brush. I figured it would be fine. But I noticed a white haze really starting to buildup at the bottom of the bottle. (Breast milk is notorious for being hard to clean!) The bristles on a regular brush can't touch it (especially the corners), no matter how you work it. Sure, the sides of the bottle were getting clean, but not the bottom. I sucked it up and got this brush, and now, because of the sponge on the end, I can get that pesky residue out of the whole bottle. Nice to know it's actually clean before giving it to my baby." —JessiM

Promising review: "I bought this first aid kid with the intention of keeping it in the car. Having kids, accidents always happen. It is the perfect size to keep in the trunk. It has everything you could need. However, I wish it had come with more of the normal size or even bigger Band-Aids, rather than the extremely small ones. But for the price, it was worth every penny!" —Julie H.

Promising review: "Perfect size! Child still needs a step stool to comfortably use the sink, and this works great. Finally, we can close our restroom door without moving the step stool out of the way first!" —S

Promising review: "I got these for our road trips to help our girls sleep, and they LOVE them! They’re very soft and fit my 6-year-old up to me easily. They are so cute, too!" —Danielle Schill

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 10 options).

Promising review: "Very easy to use; the numbers are very clear. It reads very quickly. You hold it just a couple of inches away from the forehead, and it reads almost immediately. I would recommend this to new parents and toddlers because it reads so quickly, and you're not frightening them by holding it on their forehead. It's just holding it in front for just a few seconds, and you have a temperature." —nila mikoleit lasher

Promising review: "I originally bought one for two of my siblings (middle school age) and my husband, and gifted them over a family dinner. Raging success. Any time one was set down, someone else picked it up within minutes. My youngest threw one down the stairs, and a clicker popped out, but I was able to get it back in in seconds. There's something for everyone with these fidgets. I'm considering keeping a stash on hand to add to presents throughout the year and highly recommend them to anyone looking for something with different functions." —Jon+Mikayla

Promising review: "My kids loved having these travel pillows for trips! They’re soft and help keep them much more comfortable during long car rides and travel days. The avocado design is adorable, and the memory foam feels really nice. Definitely a great travel item for kids!" —Denise Blackburn

Promising review: "This is a must if you’re bathing a toddler in the big bathtub. I remember I did not have this option with my children, and I always worried about them hitting their heads. This provides very good protection and safety. Highly recommend for anyone bathing a slippery toddler in the bathtub." —Denise

Soooo, this is Mr. Whale, at least that's what he's called in our house. My knees and I loved this whale so much. It offers just the right amount of cushiness, so I don't have to make that "old-man-getting-up" noise every time I finish bathing my kids.

Promising review: "It does exactly what it's meant to do. I can be on my knees giving my baby a bath without pain and being on the hard tile. Would recommend this for anyone who is giving their child a bath." —Bradley thomsen

Promising review: "These are essential for every newborn household. They can be used as burp cloths, changing pads, towels to wipe up spills, or cloth diapers. I use them every feed, every day. When I change my son, I use them to cover his 'business' to prevent unwanted spray. I use them underneath my kids when changing them to protect whatever surface I’m working on. When my kids get a nasty rash, I use them as cloth diapers to air them out to heal. They are the first thing I reach for when my kids' spit up. Plus, since they are white, you can bleach them out to give them a superior clean." —Rebecca

Promising review: "This stuff works great on all kinds of fabrics! It leaves clothes smelling fresh and clean while also removing dullness. It’s perfect for brightening whites. Super easy to use, just add to the drum of your washer and throw clothes in. I would recommend using warm or hot water to make sure the powder fully dissolves." —MFC

Promising review: "So much easier for my toddler to be able to wash her own hands without hurting her belly leaning so far! I love these, and they fit on all of our faucets, which are all very different!" —Amber
