We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1.A portable potty for when your toddler needs to pee and only gives a 20-second notice. Plus, it collapses flat enough to take everywhere — like camping, hiking, and on long road trips!
2.A reliable stain remover because every time a toddler touches a clothing item (be it yours or theirs), they are guaranteed to leave a stain.
3.A reward chart because every parent has bribed their kid at least once to complete a task or chore, or just to be quiet — whatever it takes to get a little peace (no judgment here).
4.A lavender-scented hand sanitizer because who couldn't use a midday whiff of calm and clean hands after handling a child all day? Plus, it's small enough to keep in a purse or diaper bag (or both), so it's accessible whenever you need it.
5.A sound machine in the likeness of a squishy plush mouse that will help relax your toddler through guided meditation, breathing exercises, and white noise — not to mention it makes a perfect snuggle buddy. And it gets bonus points for being quieter than your toddler (well, on second thought, almost anything can fit into that category).
6.A sleep kit for baby to incorporate a relaxing blend of essential oils into each step of their bedtime routine. With soothing hints of chamomile, apricot, and lavender, you might even start incorporating this into *your* nighttime regimen.
7.A lap tray that will keep your kids entertained and their stuff organized, but will, most importantly, reduce how many times they ask, "Are we there yet?" on your next long road trip to visit auntie.
8.A first aid kit to offer peace of mind, quickly address any inevitable boo-boos, and provide relief, all in one place. It's so handy you might want to keep one in your home *and* in your car — especially when exploring the outdoors!
9.A frog-shaped urinal to help pee actually get inside the toilet instead of on the toilet seat, floor, or bath mat. Maybe this could also help adults with, ahem, aim issues in the house, too.
10.A cushion to kneel on during bathtime that will keep those Megan Thee Stallion knees strong and flexible (or at least just make bathing your child a little less painful).
11.A night-light to keep the monsters away and help your kid doze off to the stars projected above. Maybe this could help reduce the three stories, five sips of water, and 10 random questions required to prepare your kid for bed.
12.A couple of leak-proof sippy cups with a straw to encourage independence and defy gravity. Lucky for you, these cups will prevent a massive flood from occurring during the most inopportune time.
13.A set of two painting smocks to prevent your kids' clothes from becoming the next piece of artwork. Wish I could say the same for your furniture.
14.A snack container that spins and has multiple storage options to help get your picky eater to try new things. Consider it mutually beneficial to no longer have random sandwich bags with rejected crushed snacks hidden in your diaper bag only to discover weeks later.
15.A portable booster seat for whenever there are no kid-friendly options around. Not only is this lil' folding chair compact, but it also comes with a carrying case, a tray for feeding or activities, and even a back storage pocket for the essentials. Go, go, gadget chair for the win!

Promising review: "This is perfect for traveling or if you don't have space for a high chair. Fits perfectly in my suitcase when traveling, and the setup is so nice and easy." —Dani
16.A bath time cup to help wash your baby's hair with (hopefully) less of a fight. With a controlled stream spout, you will spend less time giving Ted Talks in a soothing voice on the benefits of clean hair and more time having a peaceful (and even fun?) bath experience.
17.A bath toy drying bag to prevent the dreaded bath toy mold and, thus, also preventing you from repurchasing a rubber ducky for the 12th time this year.
18.A chore chart to keep track and remind your kids of their chores, and maybe even nudge the rest of the household to pick up a broom and get to work!
19.A reusable drawing tablet to save the 12 trees' worth of paper that your kid goes through in five minutes. This lightweight tablet allows your kid to create many multicolor artworks that can be saved for later viewing.
20.A talking flash card set to help your toddler expand their vocabulary with words other than "no." The machine helps your kid sound out hundreds of sight words with vivid pictures and even projects the sound that the object or animal makes.
21.A set of timers to enjoy their toys for an entire 10 minutes while mommy takes a brief break. It's a perfect time management tool for cooking, baking, homework, study, exercise, and even games. And if you're trying to reduce screen time for *everyone* in the household (including you), this gadget gives you one less thing to use your phone for.
22.A set of two spill-proof snack cups to increase the amount of snacks that stay in the container and go into your toddler's mouth, and decrease the amount that ends up on the floor. Imagine not having to clean up a trail of Goldfish after snack time every day.
23.A shopping cart cover to protect those little hands from picking up germs and so they can ride in comfort. It's also an easy solution to snacking and drinking while shopping since the cover is washable.
24.A toy and book storage shelf to try and keep everything all in one place. This storage system has two shelves for books and three bins for toys that will encourage your kid to keep their room tidy. May the odds be in your favor to never step on a stray Lego again.
25.A trampoline that can be used indoors and outdoors so your kid can bounce some of that toddler energy away before bedtime. It comes with a foam-covered safety bar that folds down to easily store away when not in use.
26.A set of two silicone bibs because feeding time with an infant always looks like a food fight in the school cafeteria. At least this bib will make cleanup a breeze by catching the crumbs at the bottom and being dishwasher-safe.
27.A pack of three toddler fork and spoon sets that come with a case — a perfect traveling companion. This BPA-free set has curved handles to make it easy to grip and helpful in teaching kids how to eat with cutlery. Who knew it was possible to enjoy your meal before it got cold without stopping between bites to play airplane with your toddler?
28.A pair of faucet extenders to fuel your toddler's "I can do it" spirit. Renew your gym membership now because you will no longer have to lift "weights" (aka your kid) multiple times a day to wash the filth off their hands from touching who-knows-what.
29.A toddler step stool for times when you need assistance, better known as your toddler insisting upon "helping." This stool is adjustable and has anti-slip safety grips to allow your kid to cook with you, brush their teeth, or do other daily activities as they grow.
30.A set of bed rails to help bypass the need to buy a toddler bed or worry about hearing loud, unexplained thuds in the middle of the night. Bonus points: The rail pivots down for easy access to the bed, has no gap between the bed and rail, and has a machine-washable cover.
