Baby & Toddler
There are so many things from Amazon that I have found helpful with Austin. They have so many options for educational purposes and things for around the house. Click on the image of the product you want to see, and it will take you straight to it.
Meland Magnetic Drawing Board – Kids Magna Drawing Doodle Board Erasable Writing Sketch Board Pad Upgrade Version Green
I recently ordered this for Austin on Prime Day. He LOVES it! He had a smaller version, but you couldn’t do much on it, so I decided to get him a bigger one. This one comes with stencils, writes in 4 different colors, and is easy for him to use. He likes for us to write letters and numbers on it so he can tell us what they are. He also loves to color/draw. I definitely recommend this for a toddler. It helps keep him busy, which is nice for me when I have something I need to do.
Prince Lionheart Squish Booster Seat, Berry Blue
When we stopped using a high chair, I switched to this booster seat for our kitchen table. It’s reasonably priced and easy to clean. I also love the fact that it’s very secure. It has a set of straps that wrap around the back of the chair, as well as under the chair to keep the chair from moving and sliding. Then of course, there is another set of straps that keep him in the chair. It’s also very lightweight, so I think it would be easy to travel with if you needed to take it with you somewhere.
Dr. Pops Lollipops All Natural Allergy Free Dietary Supplement for Kids with Zinc + Vitamin C, Tropical Fruit Flavor, 12 Count Box
I recently discovered these lollipops and Austin loves them. He thinks he’s getting a “treat” and really, he is getting great vitamins that he needs. They are organic and sugar, gluten, and dairy free. They help boost the immune system and can even be used to soothe sore throats. There are also no artificial flavors or preservatives. He always gets excited when he gets one.
Melissa & Doug Disney Mickey Mouse Numbers Wooden Peg Puzzle (10 pcs)
Austin loves puzzles, so I got him different puzzles to help him learn letters, numbers, and shapes. I really like how these also have each thing spelled out so he can see the word. He also likes to name the color it is so he thinks it’s fun.
Melissa & Doug Disney Mickey Mouse Shapes and Colors Wooden Peg Puzzle (8 pcs)
Austin loves puzzles, so I got him different puzzles to help him learn letters, numbers, and shapes. I really like how these also have each thing spelled out so he can see the word. He also likes to name the color it is so he thinks it’s fun.
Stearns Puddle Jumper Kids Life Jacket | Life Vest for Children
Austin loves the pool. This puddle jumper fits securely around him. I like the idea of using something like this that fits around his body and arms, as opposed to just using the floats for your arms. We still stay with him so he doesn’t dunk his face in the water, but it’s just great for precaution.
VicTsing Cool Mist Humidifier, Ultrasonic Humidifiers for Bedroom Baby, Premium Humidifying Unit with Whisper-Quiet Operation, Auto Shut-Off, Anti-Slip Handle, 12-24 Hours Working Time (BPA-Free)
Several months ago, I ordered this humidifier. Our old one needed to be replaced and this one is so much nicer! Austin has seasonal allergies and he gets stuffy. My favorite things about this humidifier is that it’s silent and it has cool mist. If I turn it on the medium setting right when he goes to bed, then it usually lasts for the whole night.
The First Years 2 Pack 9 Ounce Insulated Sippy Cup, Mickey Mouse (Color and design may vary)
These are some of the best cups I have found for Austin to use. I have tried several, but I like these the most. They have never leaked and are easy to clean. These are my go-to cups when we have to leave the house and go somewhere.
Nickelodeon Paw Patrol”Calling All Pups” Soft Potty Seat
This potty training seat is really easy to clean, and I also like that it has a splash guard on it. To clean the seat, the top cushion pops right out, and then you just snap it back in when you’re done. Austin loves dogs and the show Paw Patrol so he gets excited when he has to go to the bathroom now, which I think has helped us with potty training him.
Night Lights for Kids, Multiple Colors Rotating Star Projector with Timing Shutdown Function, Night Light for Baby Boys and Girls
This is the best night light! Not only can you change the colors of the lights, but it also has a timer on it. It even has a cover you can put over the top if you just want a regular night light without the stars. I turn this on every night when I put Austin to bed and he names the colors of the stars projected onto the ceiling.
Green Toys Farm Playset
We got this for Austin for one of his Christmas presents last year and he still plays with it daily. He loves farm animals, and this barn has doors that open so he can put them inside. It’s also 100% recycled plastic with no BPA.
Bumbo Step Stool, 3 color options
I got this step stool so that Austin could reach the sink to wash his hands and brush his teeth. It holds his weight well and doesn’t slide on the floor while he’s using it.
Kids Carpet Playmat City Life Extra Large – Learn & Have Fun Safe, Children’s Educational, Road Traffic System, Multi Color Activity Centerp Play Mat! Great For Playing With Cars For Bedroom Playroom
This is perfect for a kid’s bedroom or playroom. Austin plays on this every day with his cars. It’s the perfect size for his play area.
Puracy Natural Baby Shampoo & Body Wash, Tear-Free, Hypoallergenic, Sulfate-Free, 16 Ounce
I can’t recommend this shampoo/body wash enough. I love the fact that you can use it on their hair and body. When I rinse it out of Austin’s hair, it never burns his eyes. It’s natural, hypoallergenic, and sulfate-free, which is great for us because Austin really has sensitive skin.
North States 72″ Wide Deluxe Décor Baby Gate: Provides safety in extra-wide spaces with added one-hand functionality. Hardware mount. Fits 38.3″-72″ wide (30″ tall, Bronze)
Best invention ever! We have this gate in the entryway going from the living room into the kitchen. He stays in the living room most of the time when he’s playing, so this gate keeps him from going into the kitchen when I’m cooking or cleaning the dishes. He is almost 3 years old, and he still can’t open it which is another reason why it’s so great. You have to push the button in and lift it for it to open. It also closes on its’ own when you let go of it. This is definitely one of our top three purchases out of everything we have ever gotten for him.
Munchkin Wind Up Swimming Penguin Bath Toy, Blue or Pink
This is such a fun little bath toy. You wind it up and it swims through the water.
Dr. Brown’s Infant-to-Toddler Toothbrush Set, 1.4 Ounce, Blue or Pink
This was Austin’s first toothbrush set and it is great for any baby to start with.
Adoric Sliding Cabinet Locks, U Shaped Baby Safety Locks, Childproof Cabinet Latch for Kitchen Bathroom Storage Doors, Knobs and Handles (4-Pack, White)
We use these latches to child proof all of the cabinets. They are easy for us to use and still keep Austin from getting into them. He doesn’t even try to mess with them anymore.
Sassy Baby Disposable Diaper Sacks, 200 Count
These diaper sacks were a total life saver for us when Austin was a baby, and a must-have for his diaper bag. I even used them at home to help cover the smell when I would throw dirty diapers out.
Westek Plug-In Forever-Glo LED Night Light – 4 Pack – Always-On Cool Blue Glow, Energy Efficient – White Finish – Ideal for the Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen, Hallway, Stairs or any Dark Room
I use these night lights in Austin’s bedroom and bathroom. They aren’t super bright, but they light up enough to where you can see, which makes them perfect for night time.
VTech Magic Star Learning Table (Frustration Free Packaging)
This learning table helped Austin when he was learning to stand. You can also take the table off of the legs and put it on the ground for them to sit and play with.
North States Superyard Colorplay 8-Panel Play Yard: Safe Play Area Anywhere – Folds with Carrying Strap for Easy Travel. Freestanding. 34.4 sq. ft. Enclosure (26″ Tall, Multicolor)
This gate was another life saver for us! We actually still use it to block Austin off from stuff we don’t want him getting into. When he was smaller though, I used this to put him in to play so I could go cook and do other things without worrying about him getting into stuff.
Cosco Simple Fold High Chair with 3-Position Tray
This was the best high chair for the best price. Even my mom and mother-in-law have the exact same one. It folds up easily if you need to move it out of the way and the tray comes off. When Austin got a little bigger, we stopped using the tray and just pushed it up to the table like a chair. It made him feel like a “big boy” and he liked it better.
Juslink Toddler Sunglasses, 100% UV Proof Flexible Boys Girl Baby and Kids Sunglasses Age 2 to 10
Austin has 3 pairs of these sunglasses (they come in different colors). They are a little big on him (he’s almost 3), but they still stay on his face and he will be able to use them for a while. He loves them!
