Promising review: "Holy grail product in our house, seriously. We’ve got a 10-month-old who loves to throw everything, so this makes our life so much easier. Whether it’s a toy, a sippy cup, or even a blanket, we’ve been able to loop through this. I 100% recommend it to any parent." —hannah

Promising review: "Hands down one of my best Amazon purchases for my girl! I love finding hidden gems like this to make parenting a little easier lol. We go camping a lot and these are life savers and save me so much time washing and re-washing sippy cups! Plus my daughter can now be trusted with her beloved Danimal yogurt! A win for mom and a win for my very satisfied and not yogurt covered 1.5-year-old! Great idea!!" —Ab223

Promising reviews: "You think, 'I don’t need a spatula for bum cream. This is just an extra gadget that isn’t necessary.' But let me tell ya. This thing is the best. Putting on diaper cream is soooo much easier with this, and it slathers (what a word) really, really well. I felt silly buying it, and my husband teased me, but we both love it!" —Katy B

"I bought this because my daughter has super sensitive skin and is prone to diaper rashes. Because of this, I use Aquaphor for every diaper change, and this little butt spatula takes the hassle out of messy finger application. I'm such a big fan of this thing. Helps spread creams evenly and easily. The silicone material is easy to clean. It is a durable and quality product, it is at a good price, and it has a little suction cup to keep it upright. If you frequently use diaper rash creams, I would HIGHLY recommend this applicator to make the process easier and less messy!" —Lyla Mae

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "Best snot sucker EVER!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Nose Frida. Yeah, yeah, it's gross sucking your kid's snot, but you know what's worse? A sick, miserable baby. Our pediatrician even recommended the Frida over those little blue bulbs. I can suck more junk out, and it's so much easier to clean and sanitize. There is NO WAY any boogies can get back into your mouth when you use this product. The gross factor Iies just all in your head. If you have a kid — order this! If you know someone with a kid — order this!" —Chelsea S.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available with a filter replacement bundle and a saline kit).

Promising review: "I absolutely loved this product! It’s very practical, easy to use, and honestly, it has made my life so much easier. Highly recommend it — simple, effective, and totally worth it!" —Edgar Ramirez

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in eight colors).

Promising reviews: "Must have! This thing is amazing; it works very well for us. Good length, and it's soft/firm. I was able to gently scoop my 4-month-old's ear wax and pick out her sticky, crusty boogers. She enjoys being clean, so she sat/laid down very still for us. I would definitely buy this for a baby shower gift and definitely recommend to anyone." —P. T.

"Why didn't anyone tell me about this before? It's a perfect gift for any new or expecting parents. Our baby doesn't even fuss much when we use it. Really love it and have nothing I'd change! A tiny something to make your life easier and booger free. :)" —Tamara Naomi Kahn

Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (also available with a case, a version with a light, and in multipacks).

Promising reviews: "So, when I initially reviewed this item, I said that it was overpriced. When my son was first born, he refused to lie in it. Now, he's older (4 months), and this thing is a total back saver! I don't have a carrier carseat, so normally I carry him in a baby wrap or in my arms. This thing makes longer shopping trips so much less exhausting. The nice thing is, I can remove it and put it right in the diaper bag. It CAN be put into a standard-sized shopping cart with one hand, but it's a little trickier. The only cart I haven't been able to put this in is a giant Costco cart. Every time we go shopping, people comment on how great an idea this thing is and ask where to get it." —Jess

"Absolutely amazing. It makes my life so much easier. Baby is way more happy in the stores, not having to be in a car seat. Material is strong and beautiful. Set up is a breeze, and storage capacity is bare minimum — I keep mine in a diaper bag. Straps are strong and comfortable, and baby fits perfectly in there with space to grow." —Chendel m.

Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in eight styles).

BTW: This includes a hook so you can hang it when it's not in use and it helps it dry faster.

Promising review: "This is a must-have for a baby! This is one baby product that actually made my life easier! Saves space since it has a hook you can use to hang it up when it's not in use. Baby is able to comfortably lounge in the tub with this. We had a soft sided sink bath that just ended up not making sense and seemed so uncomfortable for our son. We ordered this and it was a total game changer!" —Lauren McEntyre

Catchy is a small biz started by two Aussie parents who wanted to make meal times less messy.

Promising review: "Love the Catchy so much! It’s so much easier to clean than the floor. It’s one of those products you don’t know you need but would wonder how you managed without it. I can’t recommend enough." —Karen Harty

Get it from Catchy for $49.95 (available in different styles for various highchair brands).

Promising review: "SERIOUSLY...wish I had known about this little secret a long time ago! My son had feeding issues due to reflux and sensory processing disorder; this would have come in handy. I think all occupational therapists should know about these. My son got his from the Easter Bunny and asks for it every night. I only use it on nights that I know he will struggle with what is being served. He ends up usually loving what I had cooked; before this, he would have never tried some of the meals I cooked. THANK YOU FOR THIS BRILLIANT IDEA! LIFE MADE EASIER." —Megan Campoamor

Get it from Amazon for $21.52+ (available in five styles). 

Promising review: "Could I use a knife? Yes. But this product makes it so much easier and let’s be honest with two young kids I’ll do/ buy anything that makes me life a bit easier. (Especially trying to feed these kids) it works so well & is easy to use. I’ve used it on more things than just grapes also!" —Logan

BTW: It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front-facing, and face-to-face. 

Tushbaby is a small biz run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring ease to everyday parenting life.

Promising reviews: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly, it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weighs around 30–35lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7. Carrying him all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer Calle

"Must have for babies that like to be held a lot. Makes performing household tasks or even just walking so much easier. Life saver for your arms/back." —Connor elwell

Get it from Amazon for $84.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "My 1-year-old recently got really clingy and wants to be held all the time, and it’s hard to get things done around the house. This gives me both my hands and does great at holding him against me. The fabric is thick and strong. It’s easy to attach and adjust, and the pattern is really cute. He weighs about 21 pounds, and it supports him well enough that I don’t feel all the weight on me like I do when I hold him without it. It can fold up and be put in a diaper bag and taken wherever. Great for when I’m grocery shopping and he doesn’t want to be in the cart. Wish I had this with my first." —Kevin S

"This product changed my life. My 4-month-old baby can only fall asleep in my arms and this carrier has made it easier. It's very practical, it's easier to put her to sleep without getting so tired." —Dayana Oviedo

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 13 colors).

This product is a must-have for anyone, but especially if you have kids. I have a few of these and always keep them handy if my kid gets a mosquito bite because it just makes life so much easier. It's so easy to use and painless. I love that it prevents bites from getting itchy. It can also be used to pull out splinters!

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and had to get it. I’m super glad I did. My daughter and I always get a ton of mosquito bites, and this helps alleviate the itching as soon as you pull the suction back. It’s great." —Rebekka Talley

ChooMee is a mom-owned small business based in Northern California that creates products that solve everyday feeding challenges.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these things! They make my life so much easier. I can give my baby this while in the car, and she can’t make a mess. They are reusable, easy to clean, and very durable." —abigail

Promising reviews: "This has made my life much easier! My little boy (almost 3) loves to use this when we go out. He likes it so much that he literally asks me to use the potty when he does not even have to go. Best use so far... airplane travel." —JayJayKitt

"This has been a lifesaver. Sometimes I keep a baby potty in the trunk, but this is much easier to use. I can just stand my 2-year-old next to his seat in the van, and he can go and be done within a minute. Great for newly potty-trained kids who need to go all the time." —Amy F

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and two styles for boys and girls).

Promising review: "For years, my kids have been dumping their Legos onto a blanket. Pieces constantly fall off and get lost, and it's a pain to get everything back into the plastic storage bin when they're finished. (And, of course, that job falls to me because they're too little to lift the blanket by themselves.) When this bin arrived, I dumped all of the Legos into it and then gave it a try. It worked EXACTLY as advertised! I dumped the Legos out onto the fabric, then grabbed the handles and effortlessly dumped everything back into the bin. Now, my kids are able to dump out the Legos all on their own, play with them to their hearts' content, and then put them all away again when they're done. The border keeps most of the pieces on the fabric (a few escaping is unavoidable), and the bright, solid color helps them find the piece they need more easily. They're able to put everything away without my help, which is awesome! Plus, when everything is put away, the bin tucks away nicely in the corner. It even matches the fabric/color of our large toy bin! I really wish I had something like this when I was a kid, but I'm incredibly grateful to have it now, as it's making my parenting life MUCH easier!" —Amazon Customer

UnbuckleMe is a woman-owned small business run by Becca Davison and her mother, Barbara Heilman, an occupational therapist and grandmother of four.

Promising reviews: "This works perfectly to open the car seat straps. I have issues with gripping and getting the seat straps unbuckled. This is a lifesaver. Thanks for making this easier for me." —barb combs

"As soon as I saw this on Shark Tank I bought it. It was exactly what I've been looking for since I started driving with my new grandbaby. Like the grandma in the duo that invented this, I have arthritis in my thumbs. Many times, I have struggled to unlock the straps, almost to the point of panic. Because of the stay-at-home orders here, I haven't been able to use my new UnbuckleMe with my granddaughter in tow, but I tried it out without her in the seat, and it worked exactly as advertised. Can't wait to use it with my granddaughter!" —Margery Smith

I received this as a gift with my second baby. I wish I knew about this with my first because it makes life so much easier! Making baby food is quick and easy and there's no mess. It's actually fun to use and I love coming up with different baby food blends. I recommend it to every parent.

Promising reviews: "This baby food maker is absolutely perfect!! It’s super easy to use, and my baby loves everything I’ve prepared for her so far. With just a press of a button, you can steam fruits and veggies to perfection. I love how you can also use this to warm baby bottles and even sterilize baby items. Highly recommend!!" —Breanna Beam

"It makes life so much easier. Saves time and I can feed my baby fresh food every day." —SONAL BHAKTA

Get it from Amazon for $65.54+ (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "Honestly, I love this thing. It saves us so much time washing bottles and gives us more time with our little girl. It also saves so much water compared to rinsing out each bottle by hand. I love this thing." —Rebecca Whitney

"Absolutely love this product! Washes the bottles and my pump stuff in a timely manner and makes my life easier!" —Erin

Promising reviews: "We love this product. We used this with our first baby, who is 3-years-old now and have started using it with our 5-month-old. The ability to prop it anywhere is so convenient and does not take up a lot of room. Very easy to use and even easier to clean. Very sturdy but comfortable seat with plenty of room for baby to sit and wiggle around." —Angelica Martinez

"Love this chair for my 6-month-old. it's the perfect size for him and very supportive for a young baby learning how to sit up. Very easy to take places and just makes life with a baby easier!" —Amanda Wilhelm

Reviewers say this is also great for dogs or anyone with incontinence.

This is one of those products I wish I had known about sooner. I can't tell you how many nights I had to wake up because my child's diaper leaked or during potty training and the many accidents that come along with that. I was late to the game and purchased this when my firstborn was about 7 years old because I was tired of washing sheets and bedding and having to switch everything. This pad is so absorbent that it doesn't feel wet even when I'm positive my child has had an accident. Her sheets remain dry underneath, too, and since I've had it, It's never leaked. It makes the process a lot easier so everyone can get back to sleep ASAP. I made sure to have this on hand now that I have my second because it just makes life so much easier.

Promising review: "These are an absolute game changer! My little one used to turn his bed into a mini swimming pool on a regular basis, and I was constantly doing laundry. But now, thanks to these magical pee pads, I don't have to change his entire bedding every time he has an accident — just the pad! It's like these pads have superpowers. They absorb everything and keep the rest of the bed dry, making my life so much easier. Plus, my toddler seems to think they're the coolest thing ever — he's practically showing them off to his stuffed animals." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this set of two pacifiers, and they have been fantastic for my baby. The design is ergonomic and fits comfortably in my little one’s mouth. The material feels safe and soft, perfect for sensitive skin. They’re easy to clean and durable, lasting through multiple washes without any damage. My baby calms down quickly whenever I give one, which makes life much easier for both of us. Highly recommend these pacifiers to any parent looking for reliable and comfortable soothing options!" —May_20

Promising reviews: "A must-have for newborns/infants. A coworker got me this for my baby shower; she said she discovered it after she accidentally snipped her newborn's finger when clipping the nails. I don't know what I'd do without it, I can't imagine using clippers. It is so safe and gentle, yet effective. You can touch it the skin and it's soft as can be, there is no worries of injury!!! My newborn is now an infant, and he puts his hand out when it's time to use." —Rachael

"I love it! I cut my baby with a nail clipper and she cried so hard and I felt so bad that I cried too. I got this baby trimmer and I used it on my baby and she was so relaxed and did not feel like her nails were getting trimmed. This just made my life so much easier." —sarah y al-faresi

Promising reviews: "Great for travel. Great for the diaper bag. I use it for binkies, hands, toys, etc. Everything winds up on the floor and in their mouths, so I don’t want to use a typical wipe. These are perfect for peace of mind."   —Blanche C

"A super convenient must-have because with baby you don’t always have the ability to run to wash a passi in every situation, so having this wipes makes your life easier. I keep one pack in my room, car, and backpack." —arianalarraga

Absolutely great for travel, we’ve clipped it to her car seat on rides to help keep her calm, and thank god it is extremely durable! I’ve dropped it down stairs and on pavement and it’s untouched. With amazing battery life as well! We leave it on almost all night every night and still haven’t had to replace the batteries. The perfect travel companion from nursery to bedside bassinet to car on the way to Grammies, I will be buying another one!!" —shannon

"It's magic. I am totally skeptical about all these new things — I mean people have raised kids for centuries without silly stuff like this right? But my son's dad bought this for me and it is incredible. It may seem silly but it will also make your life easier. And anything that helps mama get just a little more sleep or moments to relax is wonderful." —Shannon McCue

Promising reviews: "This is a great thermometer — accurate, looks great, a must have! If you have kids, forget about sticking a thermometer in their ears. I have four kids now and a thermometer is a must have. Hold this thing close to the forehead, push the button in and you get a reading in about one second. This thing looks good, feels good, and is accurate. We’ve used multiple thermometers in the past. The head scanner that you run across the forehead...no good. In-ear thermometers...accurate, but expect a battle. Rectal thermometers...very accurate, but expect a war. This is the easiest one out of all of them. We find it especially useful when we need the quick 'I don’t feel that great' check. Overall, highly recommend!." —BearDownChi1

"This product has been so easy to use. It has been accurate and has made life so much easier than having to wait for a reading. I couldn't be happier with my choice!" —Keridan Moorman

When I was a first-time mom, I thought I needed those bottles with all of those extra parts and special accessories. But, they just made me feel overwhelmed and there were soooo many dishes to worry about. The second time around, I was determined to do things differently. I'm so happy I tried Pigeon bottles because they're a game-changer and make life so much easier for both me and my little one. For starters, they have the best nipples! Trust me, I've tried A LOT of bottles. The nipples are very soft, really stretchy, and durable. The nipples are also designed with a line so I could make sure my baby's lips were positioned correctly to get a good latch and proper suction. They also have an ant-colic system without any extra parts. I also love that the bottles feature a wide neck, so they're easy to clean and fill.

Promising review: "I picked these up because my son had issues with the wide mouth Dr browns. My son feeds well off of these, and they are significantly easier to clean. The feel is also fantastic and the lid comes off perfectly." —Magi 501
