From easy post-play cleanup to a medicine syringe your kids will actually look forward to using, this list has got you covered.

I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother.

Honestly, as a now "big kid" parent, I miss this dang thing. Made my life so much easier.

Promising reviews: "I've been using the Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer for several weeks now, and it has been a fantastic addition to our daily routine. It's very easy to use — just place the clean bottles inside, press a button, and in no time, they're completely dry and sterilized. It saves me a significant amount of time and gives me peace of mind knowing the bottles are truly clean. I also appreciate that it has enough space for several items at once. I definitely recommend it to other parents." —DDelgado

Promising reviews: "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 was not included on my registry, as I thought it would be a waste of money. It did not seem necessary. After a few months of heating up bottles in the middle of the night with a crying baby, anxiously awaiting the next feeding, I decided to give this a try. 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 drawback is that it requires you 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

"The Formula Pro Baby Brezza machine has been of great help. Prepare the bottle in seconds with the exact measure and at the ideal temperature, which saves a lot of time, especially in the early mornings. It is easy to use and clean. Without a doubt, a worthwhile investment to facilitate the routine with the baby." —Jakeline Gonzalez

Promising review: "I am a mom who hates cutting grapes, but this is a LIFE SAVER! It not only saves time, but the kids love to help! The cut quality is there as well!" —Samantha Robinson

Promising review: "I seriously love this thing!! Yes, I can agree with other reviews that the tips are a bit harder than they look, but with babies, everything should be done with care. This has saved me and my S/O so much time. For those tedious and stubborn boogies you just can’t get, this comes in so handy!! 10/10 recommend. Pricey but so worth it!! :)" —Frenecy

Promising review: "Must-have! Easy to use and saves a significant amount of time. Love the three different settings, as well as the lights and music to soothe/ distract the little ones. Cleaning is so easy and fast! Rechargeable with a very long-lasting battery! Great for all ages." —Taylor Rae

This is a brand new offering from Munchkin, and I can't recommend it enough! Not only is it spillproof (as all the Munchkin cups are, BLESS) but it *also* fits in car seat cupholders. A win-win. 

Promising reviews: "What makes Doona exceptional is its practicality. The seamless shift from car seat to stroller — simply bend the wheels and go — saved us time, hassle, and countless awkward transfers. Yes, it's on the heavier side, and as the baby grows, that weight becomes more noticeable. But the convenience far outweighs the bulk for me. The mechanism feels intuitive once you've used it a few times, and the thoughtful design of the car seat cover was a lifesaver through Seattle's rainy days-our seat stayed clean and dry the whole time. Though your baby will outgrow it within a year, the ease and peace of mind it offers make it well worth the price." —Otterly Approved

Get it from Amazon for $550+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "Finally got this for my 8-month-old after every meal, doing a whole clean-up routine. Wish I had gotten it a lot sooner! Great for parents, as it saves a lot of clean-up time and catches a significant amount of food. All you have to do is dump it out and wash it out, and it's brand new again! Definitely recommend having this at home, in your diaper bag, and anywhere you go! Has a couple of notches in the back to adjust for sizing so you can use this during each stage." —Lexie Leeman

Get a 3-pack from Amazon for $8.65 (available in three color sets). 

So you never have to choose between whether you should bring the baby's snacks or your water bottle EVER AGAIN. This saves me time every time I'm in a hurry to leave because I can grab just one bag instead of three.

Promising reviews: "I needed a backpack diaper bag for an upcoming trip with the baby. My main diaper bag doesn’t convert and can be quite bulky. When I received it, I thought it was small. However, the reviews were so good that I decided to give it a try. It surprisingly fit everything we needed for the airplane and subsequent car trips. I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s very light. It’s durable. It’s chic. Well worth the money." —Magdalena P.

"Love this bag!! You can see everything in it easily, which is critical with a newborn and toddler." —Kaitlyn M.

Get it in beige from HAPP for $198 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "She says she uses these DAILY. And that it saves her so much time with everything being able to be in one spot! Good gift for parents expecting a little one!" —Jac

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in three sizes and four styles).

Promising reviews: "Amazing bathtub! If you have a newborn, get this bathtub and save time and money. Easy to use. Simply unplug the silicone stoppers or empty the tub and hang it to dry. My baby loves it! Must have for new moms." —Carly

Promising review: "I got this for my newborn nephew and my brother and his fiancé loved it, said it was a lifesaver and saved time walking upstairs to the nursery for quick changes as tired new parents." —Elizabeth Barr

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "My best purchase ever. My little one was crying every time I cleaned her. Cold wipes make her cry. Then we used warm water to warm up the wipes, but it didn't work out very well. Ended up having rashes on my two-week-old baby. After I purchased this wipe warmer, she no longer cries when I clean her; she is so happy, and this is a time-saving feature, especially at night. Easy to use. Never had any rash after. Now she is 2 months old. Loving the product." —DCP

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "Saves so much time and reduces scratches. Baby nails are so tricky, and I’m always afraid I’m going to end up hurting my baby using regular nail clippers. These bring a great deal of peace of mind. Super easy to use! I also love that if the file head touches skin, it stops moving." —Erika

"Saves so much time and worry. I love this thing! I can trim my daughter's nails with this while she's awake, and it does a great job in a short amount of time. Like other commenters have said, you can hold it against your skin and it doesn't hurt at all. Another bonus is that there are filing heads for adults as well. I'm actually buying this again as a baby shower gift. It is definitely worth every penny." —Kali West

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four sizes and four colors).

Promising reviews: "Saves time, fast and quick, very convenient." —Is This Useful?

"I pumped and bottle-fed and felt like I was constantly washing baby bottles or pump parts. This is my favorite brush for aggressively washing items as quickly and efficiently as possible. I have gone through a lot of them with my two kids, but they hold up the best for me!" —Erin and Steven

Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok and knew I needed it. I have a teething toddler who is messy, and this saved clean-up time at restaurants. Plus, no more getting hurt when he leans into the table!" —Karsen

"A lifesaver. Saves a ton on clean-up time." —Zak

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "I started using these pads when my son was about 3 months old, snuck them in his overnight diaper and hoped for no more leaks. They are a game-changer!! We've used them every night since (16 months now), and we have NEVER had a single wet wake-up due to diaper overflow. I have saved so much time that I used to waste on washing crib sheets, pajamas, and cleaning up after a very tired baby. I wish I had known about these for my first. They are a MUST and I share them with every new mom I know." —Leslie Duff

Promising review: "This is a practical item to have if you have a child. I firmly believe that the child-to-stuffed animal ratio is 1:50. I purchased this to use under my kid's top bunk, saving me time from having to take all the stuffed animals off to change the sheets. It’s been a game-changer." —Meghan

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes and 13 colors).

Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I’ve made online! The product is excellent quality and looks amazing on the wall. I’ve had other stuffed animal storage bins that fell apart almost immediately, but this one is sturdy and well made. I ordered two for my daughters and now I’m ordering another for my other daughter and my granddaughter. I highly recommend these — it’s such a creative way to store stuffed animals while also being so beautiful to look at. My girls especially love the LED lights on it!" —Amazon Customer

This bundle comes with a mix of 10 Daniel Tiger and classic cartridges plus the Daniel Tiger and Owl figurine. Additional characters are also available for adding to their collection.

Promising review: "This projector is a bedtime game changer. Stories and songs are the perfect length to include it in your little ones' schedule, and help them calm down before sleep. Both my 3- and 4-year-old love all the stories and look forward to choosing a story and a song every night. We have had it for a few weeks now and it works perfectly. Batteries last long. We got four cartridges to start, and the kids have not been able to listen to all stories yet, because they love and learn through repetition, but I think eventually we will end up purchasing them all. It's not inexpensive, but it's something they can grow up with and learn different things at different ages." —Maria

Nugget Comfort is a small biz based in Butner, North Carolina, that specializes in play furniture made out of foam cushions.

Promising review: "My 3-year-old and my nearly 5-year-old have played with this thing constantly. Sometimes they are just lounging around on it but mostly it’s part of their adventure play. It’s been a boat, a castle, a camp, and so much more. They are gonna freak out when they get a second soon." —Tabatha C.

These are my family's go-to bandages because they *actually* stick, and the tins are so convenient to throw in bags and car gloveboxes. 

Promising reviews: "I love the assortment of bandages that are offered. My three-year-old daughter loves these bandages. I even purchased one for her preschool because the quality and colors are so beautiful. They stay on even through bathing and swimming. I still replace them after she's in the water, but they hold up very well. I love the tin and how well organized the contents are." —Carletta Lewis

"This is such a cute and compact first aid kit. There are a TON of bandages inside. The styles are great, something for even the pickiest kids (like mine), haha. Great quality bandages, they stay on great, they are flexible, and just so darn cute. It also includes lots of other great things to have when you are traveling, like ibuprofen, ointment, alcohol, and cleansing wipes." —Bunny2012

Promising review: "It's like buying sleep! I wasn’t sure if United would let us use these, and if they would even work for the boys. Both boys (one and four years old) slept 5-6 hours! Probably the most important purchase I made for the trip. Even had other parents asking me about them!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "This is a must on baby registries!!! I have tried a handful of options and by FAR this is the BEST!!!! It has saved me time with after bath clean up and mess! I love it!! Wish I would have found it sooner!!" —sj8687

"If your child is like mine, then you probably have 10+ toys for bath time. This basket makes it so much easier for space and convenience. Before I was tossing the toys in the sink, but that wasn’t working out. Don’t hesitate. This helped me organize my little ones toys and saved me space and time to get them organized once bath time was done." —louie

Promising review: "We are using this in our kids room under their tv for their Lego and block storage - it’s been a hit! It’s easy to roll out and in plus sturdy. If you have little people be sure to anchor it to the wall because I believe it’d be pretty easy to fall over as the main bookshelf part is open in the back. Just my opinion as my kids are rough. Would love if it was offered in other colors." —Quacey

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 review: "I love this high chair! I have tried many highchairs throughout the years with my three children and this is by far my favorite. It is SO easy to assemble with minimal steps and simple instructions. It took me about 15 minutes to assemble from unboxing to the highchair being ready to go. The cushion is very easy to put on and take off to clean (note, you do not need to disassemble any part of the highchair in order to do this, unlike the Tripp Trapp cushion which I have also owned). My baby seems comfortable in the straps and has enough room to easily grab her food and eat. The tray wipes clean easily, as does the foot rest. I do not find that the legs take up too much space. The high chair is light enough that if you need to move it around, it is not cumbersome to do so. The high chair is obviously aesthetically pleasing which is a bonus and the cherry on top! I am looking forward to my daughter growing with this chair and purchasing more Lalo products!" —Daisy Koltov

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 used this dispenser with my baby and it made giving liquid medicine so much simpler. The pacifier-style design helps my baby accept the dose without fussing, and the syringe shows the measurements clearly. It’s easy to clean, feels sturdy, and prevents spills. Overall, a very helpful tool for everyday use." —Monserrat Pineda

Promising review: "We have had our Slumberpod for two years now and it's still one of our fave baby items. It is so useful for staying in hotels, sleeping with grandparents, traveling, etc. It folds up compactly and weighs very little, so great for packing in a suitcase. It could easily accommodate most pack-n-plays. Once we zip it up, I think she feels like a cocoon in there because she falls asleep quickly and soundly. I can't say anything negative about it. It is very simple to set up and take down, like a mini tent with only two rods. It holds up even if your kids get rowdy in there. This has been the only way for me and my husband to stay up past our daughter's bedtime when we're in a hotel room. So worth the money if you plan on sleeping somewhere other than your house." —Jenny C.

*And* your kids will love having any excuse to not walk back to the parking lot on foot.

Promising reviews: "I love this! My second baby is now 9 months old, and the wagon is perfect for us! I have a soon-to-be 3-year-old who loves to ride in the wagon way better than a stroller, and it’s not bulky at all. Super easy to maneuver through any pace, and it doesn’t fold up; it just folds straight down, which isn’t a bad thing, it’s just different. It’s super easy to use, and I love that my girls have space to play together when we are at stores." —Carrie E

"I have two kids, a 7-year-old and a 3-year-old, and I wish I would have bought this sooner. It does take up my whole trunk bc 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

Promising reviews: "I can't even begin to explain how much my daughter loves her playhouse. She brought blankets, pillows, and her baby dolls into the house to nap and read books. It's so adorable. Thanks so much for bringing this playhouse into our lives. We live in NYC, so having the ability to fold it flat is crucial for our small space living." —Casey W.

"My two girls (ages 1 and 2) LOVE the playhouse. It's such a great and quality product. The girls basically bunker down in it and play ice cream shop for hours every night. Thank you, thank you." —Jacqueline L.
