1. An Inglesina Fast table high chair because it clamps on to a table or kitchen counter to free up floor space *and* to ensure your kiddo can hang out contently because they're at the center of all the action.
Promising review: "My only regret is that we didn’t buy this for our first child. We were so tired of losing space in our house to all the kid and baby things. We had a great high chair, loved it because we could move it from room to room. However, we have a smaller house, and it just always seemed to be in the way. This fixed the problem 100%. It’s a minimalist dream. I love the color options because it goes with our home aesthetic now. Do not worry, it is very stable. I’ve never had a worry once that it would fall. Extremely secure and easy to move. We have it on our bar counter but can easily move it to our dining table. And if you like to eat out, this is the best option. It even had its own carrying bag built to the bottom of the seat. The tray is dishwasher safe, which I love. The seat says to wipe down or hand wash. I don’t wipe it down on a regular basis, but for that really worked-in food or if you kid accidentally gets sick in it, I have thrown it in the washing machine multiple times. (Without the metal pieces.) Just make sure you buckle the straps together so they don’t get twisted in the wash. It’s beautiful; it’s minimal. It’s safe and secure. Even my toddler likes to try to sit in it once in a while." —Jena Seeno

2. A pack of stick-on fever indicators that'll come in handy during cold and flu season. Simply stick the bug on their head and it'll change color to indicate temp letting you monitor your child's fever for up to 48 hours.
It goes without saying that these stickers aren't a replacement for a thermometer. But, if your kid has a temp, these will help you keep track of whether their fever is spiking or going down.
Promising review: "Best invention ever. I am able to proactively monitor my children's fever. Before this product, I always feared that when they had a fever that maybe they had been feverish too long and it escaped my notice. This product gives me peace of mind because now at a glance I can tell if and when they are spiking." —sneeziesmurf
Promising review: "We had a stressful day of trying to keep our 3-year-old's fever down and he was exhausted. I had these in the cabinet and stuck one on at bedtime. It immediately lit up N, which matched the thermometer. While putting him to bed I saw it go to 99 so when I checked on him in 30 min I brought the thermometer '99.3.' We used it throughout the night to monitor whether or not we should wake him for more medicine. I think of it as a peace of mind sticker. He loves stickers and got a big kick out of it. He’s had it on about 13 hours now with no complaints. There’s a shiny N there now, and this paranoid mama still checks with a thermometer occasionally to make sure it’s accurate." —Nateric

Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak

5. And a pack of silicone dino ice pop molds to take homemade popsicles to a ~dino-mite~ level, y'all. Just fill them with juice, yogurt, or smoothies to make healthier versions of store-bought ones.
Promising review: "These are unbelievable. We have the dinosaur ones and they are absolutely adorable. The mold peels off beautifully, and the size is just right for my preschoolers. I'm making healthy smoothies (frozen spinach! Chia seeds! Ground flax!) and making popsicles with them, and my kids think they're eating a fun dessert. Brilliant. I'll be giving these as gifts for a good while." —LucieBlue

6. A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers that'll allow easy access for little hands but prevent Cheerios from flying everywhere. No more handing your toddler snacks *one piece at a time* or constantly clean their trail of snacks.
Promising review: "What a lifesaver! I mean really! My daughter loves her snacks, she also loves to make a mess, give them to the dog, or fill her car seat up with them. Then cry when she has nothing to eat. My wife picked one up at Target and man... we used it so much, we couldn't clean it fast enough. SOOOO we bought a few more. and for less than $5 for two.... this is a no-brainer!" —jeffgrantMEDIA
