Promising review: "Amazing!! I loved it!!" —Ly

Price: $5.79

This sound machine is rechargeable, has three sound options, and has a convenient clip for hanging.

Promising review: "I bought this for a trip with a 10-month-old, and it’s been a lifesaver. I love the volume adjustments, that it’s portable, and that the charge lasts awhile." —MT

Price: $29.99

With a zip closure, they make nighttime diaper changes a breeze! They also come in fleece for winter months and as a transitional swaddle for newborns! I've used all three and recommend all of them.

Promising review: "I’ve bought this in every size for my daughter since about 6 months old. Still using the XL size for my 2-year-old. Lightweight sleep sack that gets softer with each wash. I would recommend this product." —Roth

Price: $29.99 (available in size newborn–XL and seven designs)

Promising review: "These are hands down the best wet bags! The unique design of the lids make for ease of use — both putting things in and taking them out! They are a great size for keeping in the bathroom for cloth pads or used face cloths. They are also great for using in the diaper bag when out and about! I use them for dirty diapers as well as wet clothes when we go to the beach or splash in too many puddles!" —Sarah

Price: $15.95 (available in 35 colors)

This buffer grows with your baby, with four different buffer pads for different age ranges.

Promising review: "SO EASY and quick! Baby was sleeping and didn’t even flinch. 🥰" —Marissa

Price: $34.99

So many people swear by humidifiers, but I had never used one prior to having a baby. If you're a skeptic like I was, I can verify that getting a humidifier has been so helpful, especially now that my kids are a bit older. Whenever I see the first sign of a sniffle, I pull the humidifier out and have seen dramatic improvement over when I tried to grit my teeth and hold on until it passed.

Promising review: "This humidifier has been a blessing! Our other one got wet so we ordered this. I was skeptical because of the size, but it actually works great!! I love the different selections you get for what type of speed you want for your humidity and light." —Jay

Price: $39.99 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "My 9-month-old came down with a cold from her older brother. Her little nose was very irritated, and she would cry when I would clean her little nose because I was using regular wipes. I love the fact that these are so gentle and that they contain saline. I noticed a big difference when I would use them compared to the regular wipes I was using which really irritated and chafed her little nose. The price is also great for a pack of 30 wipes! They are very moist as well. I would definitely recommend to all the mommies with sick babies, toddlers, and kids. 👍🏼 🙂" —Ann86

Price: $4.49 for a 30-pack (also available scented and in a multi-pack)

Price: $34.99

It uses suction, is easy-to-use, and easy-to-clean. For parents who can nurse, this is an awesome way to get everything you can out of your supply.

Promising review: "I was recommended this by my lactation consultant for late night engorgement relief. My newborn has been sleeping for up to five hours at a time at night which is great for sleep, but leaves my breasts very engorged by the time baby is ready to feed next. I had been pumping in between feeding sessions, but was getting tired of the discomfort and cleaning tiny parts after each pumping session. This product is a game-changer! I get just as much milk from my Haakaa as I do from my pump. The Haakaa is A LOT more comfortable and doesn’t leave me sore. It is a lot more convenient to clean, too! I was worried that it would be hard to pour milk from the Haakaa to milk storage bags, but the spout is basically like a funnel and gives surprisingly good pouring control. I wish I would have gotten this product sooner!" —Emily O

Price: $27.99

Promising review: "We got this diaper bag for our first child in 2021 and have no complaints. It’s comfy to wear, holds everything we need it to hold inside, can fit three bottles or sippy cups, plus an ice pack in the cooler pouch. It has held up perfectly. We plan to use the same bag for baby number two this year — it’s still in great shape!" —Jess

Price: $39.49

I also keep silicone straws in my on-the-go bag for moments where I get my kids a twist-top drink, but don't want to risk an overzealous tip and pour onto their shirt.

Promising review: "I decided to give this product a chance after seeing a great review on them from someone else. My kid has his own utensils already, but wasn't a fan of using them. When I gave him these — I'm not exaggerating when I tell you — his eyes lit up, and he immediately went to work discovering how to use them properly. He now asks for them for every meal. As a mom with a kid that LOVES testing products, I really appreciate the anti-choke guard. I also really like that these came in a clear, hard plastic travel case! As most parents know, it's so easy to lose tiny items so that case really comes in handy. I am definitely going to purchase a couple more sets!" —Kim B

Price: $8.99+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I was really hesitant about the quality of this table and chairs set considering the cheap price. I am so glad I got it! It was super easy to put together (I wish all furniture was prepped this way!), and it's very sturdy. My daughter loves it and uses it daily to color, complete puzzles, and play with Play-Doh." —Cesira

Price: $45.49

Promising review: "Can I give 10 stars? Because this is perfect!! So easy to really clean! Our previous chair had so much food buildup so quick, and you had to take apart the entire seat to get the belts out. This one just pops out from the bottom and fits well on all the chairs we’ve tried." —Stephanie

Price: $29.99

Promising review: "This wrap is very stretchable, nice, and breathable. My little baby is very clingy to mommy, so having this has been a huge lifesaver. Daddy has even had his fair share of use, too. :) The instructions are very easy to follow. I would recommend this wrap to any mommy and daddy!" —Lisa

Price: $29.96+ (originally $39.96; available in nine colors/patterns)

I love this potty chair. My oldest was potty trained on this chair, and we still keep it stashed in our backseat for potty emergencies when on the go. We travel often and have long car rides, and this has come in handy more than once — including our last roadtrip when one of our kids found out she gets carsick now. It saved us from needing to shampoo our car, and for that, I am an eternal fan of this potty.

Promising review: "We bought this, along with the full-sized potty chair for training. Used this one initially as our 'on the go' potty and kept it in the back of the car for when we needed a potty break while out and about. Now that we are past that initial stage, we use it as a secondary potty in the play area, for when he has to go suddenly. Easy to clean, simple, love it." —Cholder

Price: $24.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Bought this for my 3-almost 4-year-old son for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. The ice cream scoops along with the flavors and toppings are all magnetic so it really gives the full effect. Would definitely recommend this product." —Osu123

Price: $38.24 (originally $44.99)

Promising review: "These are fantastic and affordable! We use these every day when it is hot outside! As long as you have juice, you’ve got yourself a tasty treat!" —AW

Price: $15.99

Promising review: "Yes! This is a must-have, makes it so easy for those hard-to-reach areas in the nose and ears. Use it ALL the time!" —Crystal

Price: $12.99

This feeding set is exceptionally well-reviewed and cuts down on so many dishes. You can steam the food in the bowl — stovetop with boiling water or microwave — collapse it into a baby-friendly bowl, then when baby is done, pop it right into the dishwasher. The convenience is unmatched. It's also super cute, AND babies love using the spoon as a teether, too.

Promising review: "I love this feeding set! So easy to use and baby-friendly! Especially the training spoon, the material is great and so soft for babies to use, and I don't have to worry about him snatching it away and poking himself. The scoop is also bigger than other feeding spoons on the market. I would definitely recommend this product!" —CSun

Price: $24.99
