Hello mommies!
Saying toddlers are a handful is an understatement.
With two toddlers running around, I am always looking for different items that can help make my life simpler, or take the stress out of my days. Below are 10 different items that range from child safety, to hygiene, down to food and strollers. I have so many favorites that I could write, but I wanted to try and narrow down the items that I know I use daily.
The items below are listed in order of the least to most expensive products I use in my daily routine with the children.
These toothbrushes have made brushing my toddler’s teeth so much easier. Plus, since he can hold onto the handle and easily move it back and forth, he doesn’t fight me about brushing his teeth.
Both of my children have always been big snackers who never want to sit still. I love these because it lets them have the independence to hold their own snacks, without me having to pick up all the mess.
I use these safety straps for absolutely everything in my home. I use them on all cabinets and accordion doors. I’ve also used them for other items such as my front load washer and dryer. The adhesive holds up very well. My son has hung on my cabinets trying to open them and they’ve never popped off.
I’m pretty sure one look at this and it says enough. I hate cutting grapes… but both of my children love them. This makes it so much easier and quicker to be able to chop them up for them. Especially when I’m rushing in the morning getting my son’s lunch ready.
This holder is so versatile for both of my children. My daughter loves juice boxes, and my son loves his puree pouches. I have one of these for each of them, so I don’t have to constantly walk behind them with paper towels waiting for the mess.
I have tried other brands of these, and both of my children somehow figures out how to pry them off. So far, these have managed to hold up with both of my children. My favorite feature of them may be the lid. They never finish their food, and it makes it so much simpler by being able to just put a lid on their plate to try again later.
My son is one that has to be entertained the entire time he’s eating so he actually finishes his food. This plate keeps him entertained and he loves to use the ramp as a racetrack when dipping his fish sticks in ketchup.
Any toddler moms know that it is so hard to find a sippy cup that doesn’t actual leak. I wish I had a photo of the crazy assortment of sippy cups I went through until I finally found these. Plus, you can also use them as snack containers.
This hip carrier has saved my back. I never had luck with the carriers once my children started getting bigger. With this, I’m able to easily switch from carrying my 1 1/2-year-old to my 3 1/2 old with no adjustments. Since it has the band, it evenly distributes the weight around your torso so there’s not so much pressure on your back. I’s super comfortable and breathable. I can’t say enough about this product.
This stroller is a lifesaver during any outings, especially if we’re talking parks, beaches, theme parks, etc. Not only does it act as a stroller, but it also gives you the option to have a little play area for the children when they get tired of the activity. My 1 1/2-year-old and my 3 1/2-year-old both fit in here with no problem.

These are some of my most utilized products for both of my toddlers. I can’t say enough about each of the products and how they’ve simplified my routine. Though, the Jeep Wagon is definitely an investment, it is one that I would make over and over again. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at thecomtoislife@gmail.com
