Toddler Must-Haves
27
items These are all items that I’ve used with my 2.5 year old and would recommend to new moms!
A must have for my leather seats!
Car Seat Protector
My favorite mineral based sunscreen. Very gentle on the skin - I have been using this since my son was 6 months old and he’s NEVER been sunburnt!!
Tubby Todd Face & Body Mineral Sunscreen Kit
We just started potty training and this has been a life saver! He was scared of the potty before we got this - but we also have a little potty he can use as well.
Potty Training Seat
Definitely recommend getting some cabinet locks. We use these for under the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and the utensil drawer. Could also be used on the toilet or other places you don’t want your curious toddler getting into!
SKYLA HOMES Baby Locks
My little guy loves to help in the kitchen and this has made it so much easier for him to be involved with the cooking/cleaning process!
Kids Kitchen Step Stool for Kids with Safety Rail
Can not say enough good things about these cups. I purchased 3x so we could have some at Nana & Grandma’s house. They don’t leak and they can sip from any side of the cup! Great transition from bottles/sippys to cups.
Dr. Brown’s 360 Sippy Training Cups
My favorite little snack cups! Great for on the go & in the car
Munchkin Snack Catcher Toddler Cups 2 Pack
We still use bibs when we have messy meals, and I’ve never bothered with the cloth kind that get stained. These are so easy to wash & clean - plus they hold up well. We still use the same set we got from his 1st birthday!
PandaEar Set of 3 Silicone Baby Bibs
Always have some of these on hand. In the diaper bag, my purse, the car - especially during the allergy season. These are so much gentler than a napkin, Kleenex or regular baby wipe. Cannot recommend these enough
Boogie Wipes - Saline Wipes for Baby & Kids
One of my favorite light jackets for the fall. Fleece material, not too heavy but not too thin either. We have the black, gray & camo color.
Columbia Fleece Toddler Jacket
A little on the pricey side, but worth every penny. My son started using his at age 1, and by 2.5 he is scooting all along and lifting his feet up. Definitely helps them get their balance and I’d say he’ll be riding a regular pedal bicycle by next ye...
Strider 12” Sport No Pedal Balance Bike Kids
I will NEVER purchase another car seat, as this grows with the child until they no longer need one. Made the transition at 10 months old. Easy to clean, and so convenient for getting in & out of the car.
Evenflo Revolve360 Extend Convertible Car Seat
We love this wagon for the zoo, beach, pumpkin patch, the races, etc. Love the canopy for extra shade, cup holders, or a pocket for your phone. The tires handle all terrain & there is enough room my son could lay down and nap if he wanted too.
Radio Flyer 3-in-1 Foldable Wagon with Canopy
We have the black & white checkered bag and love it! Just enough space for some extra clothes, diapers, wipes & a few other necessities. No need for a huge bulky bag!
Dezcrab Baby Diaper Bag Backpack
The ear thermometer is where it’s at. We had the forehead thermometers (no touch) and I felt like they were always giving me different readings. This one is very reliable and I will never purchase another!
Frida Baby 3-in-1 Infrared Thermometer
Bought this when my son was a newborn and still use EVERY single night!!
Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine & Night Light
These are my favorite plates to use with my baby/toddler. They suction to the table so they can’t throw them in the floor 🤪
Silicone Plates
I transitioned to real silverware once my toddler was 2. They have a soft grip handle for easy handling!
Elk and Friends Kids Silverware Silicone
We started using this with my son when he has to potty and it’s been a great adjustment so far! Easy to clean and the spinner makes aiming “fun”
Cute Frog Potty Training Urinal for Boys
A must have for curious babies and toddlers! I still leave mine in and my son is 2.5. He was very interested in outlets, so this is just a precaution to stay safe!
Outlet Covers Baby Proofing 50 Pack
My FAVORITE toothbrushes. Turn the light on and let them brush until it goes off! A good way to ensure they are brushing their teeth long enough, and it’s fun!
Firefly Light Up Timer Toothbrush, Premium Soft Bristles, 2 Count
We love this toothpaste! It “taste” goo, and it’s safe to swallow.
Fluoride-Free Toddler Natural Training Toothpaste
Another great sunscreen recommendation compared to other leading brands. Score is a 93/100 on the Yuka app!
Baby Sunscreen - Pipette
We used this up until my son was 1.5! One of my favorite high chairs. Super easy to clean, can fold up easily and bonus points for being aesthetically pleasing!
High Chairs - Munchkin
We used these to transition my son off bottles at age 1! They’re a little bit of a pain to clean, but no worse than the Dr. Brown bottles which is all my son ever took!
Dr. Brown's Milestones Narrow Sippy Straw Bottle with Silicone Handles
We loved these pouch holders and still do! They prevent them from squeezing them all out on the floor 😵💫
Target
If you are tired of spending $ on expensive applesauce/yogurt pouches, we like to make our own with these fun reusable ones! Dishwasher safe, and you can even put jello in them!
