It feels surreal to say that I’m a mom of two toddlers; it feels like I blinked and suddenly my tiny, inert babies turned into chatty, opinionated, capable little girls. (I’m sure most parents can relate to this feeling.) And as much as my kids have changed my entire life, they’ve also changed my shopping habits: Goodbye, impulse vintage jewelry purchases; hello, 20-packs of 3T underwear.
Um, where were we? Oh yeah: Amazon Prime Day. As a shopping editor for whom Amazon’s blowout annual sale is a personal and professional Olympics, I’m naturally scanning the retailer’s pages for stuff I’ll be nabbing for myself and my family, and that includes plenty of toys, clothes and odds and ends that will make parenting two small children more convenient (if such a thing is even possible). So, because I simply couldn’t resist, I rounded up a list of parenting and children’s goods that I’m adding to my own cart today.

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 sunscreen (20% off)
Promising review: “I live in eastern Pennsylvania, even though we do not get a lot of sun when we do it can burn. I was having a hard time, finding a solid sunscreen for my child. After reaching out to some friends that live in the south, they brought this product to my attention.. so far so good we apply it before we get into the pool or water and it can seem to protect her all day. She is nine years old and we have not burnt since we have use this product. She has sensitive skin and it does not irritate her.” — Sarah S.
Magna-Tiles 100-piece tile set (31% off)
Promising review: “Well worth the investment and easy to clean up since comprised of magnets. We played with these with our child while supervising her from 1.5 years old and still fun to play with on occasion at age 10. These are fun for adults too and as stated quick to clean up and keep organized because of the magnets.” — Danny P
Zojirushi
Promising review: “Have you ever had an appliance that makes you smile? This one will! Not only does it make amazing rice, but it plays a happy little tune when it starts and stops cooking. I traded in my cheap, former cooker for this slick compact model. It makes perfect rice every time and takes up very little space. No detail was too small for the designers of this product. They even thought to make the power cord retractable. It’s like this company truly understands me.” — Michelle Lynne Leahy
Bissell Little Green upholstery cleaner (30%)
Promising review: “This is saving my sanity. We’ve got multiple pets and friends and family always come with more as well. Pets run the place but i also love a clean home and this helps alot. Unfortunately there’s light colored carpets in some rooms and i can’t change that where i live but despite the crazy messes, this cleans soo well it’s saved me visits to rent a steam cleaner or hire a professional company (which doesn’t always guarantee to get stains out anyway). All in all I’m kicking myself for not buying it sooner. I’ve tried the cleaning products on the carpet before and while it was Ok sometimes, it didn’t always work as some stains are more resistant than others.” — BH
Miss Mouth’s stain treater (20% off coupon)
Promising review: “I wish I would have taken a before picture but this onesie was the victim of a major blow-out today- I was almost going to just throw it out but I figured I’d see how this worked- I sprayed it on, agitated it a bit and then rinsed it in hot water- this is what it looks like! This picture is before I even put it through the washing machine. Very impressed and I love having a non-toxic stain remover in such a convenient spray bottle. This is a must-have not only for new parents but for anyone who needs a good stain remover!” — Amanda Sumerix
Intex inflatable baby pool (64% off)
Promising review: “This pool is great for your little ones. It was super quick to set up. It does not come with a device to inflate (fyi) so we used our own pump to inflate it. Took only a couple minutes to inflate. My toddler is having so much fun using her pool. Perfect for summer. It is also colorful so it will catch your toddlers attention!” — Hawraa
3-pack of fast iPhone chargers (70% off)
Promising review: “Having been through a LOT of iPhone chargers over the years, this type has always performed the best. These offered a GREAT price for 3-packs, each with a 3M charging cable. Don’t let the simple, not-so-fancy packaging put you off, the products are very well made. With the new cables, even some of the photo transfer functions from iPhone to PC that had stopped working are working again. 100% great!!!” — Tom
A detangling brush (32% off)
Promising review: “This brush looks like a normal brush. I have no idea what makes it special but holy cow it definitely is! My hair is long and always tangled. I’m not tender headed but brushing it was a chore, pulled my hair out and even hurt sometimes. I got it brushed in 1/4 of the time with complete ease and zero pain. I am truly amazed at this product!” — Staudt
Crave Naturals glide-thru brush (50% off)
Promising review: “This is a lot more gentle on my hair and it feels great. I always grew up with brushes that hurt really bad, felt like I was physically ripping out chunks of hair. This brush is extremely smooth and gentle. I would recommend it to a tender-headed toddler, that’s how gentle it is. It doesn’t snag on anything. No pain, never. I have very long hair and I’ve used it after going tubing, swimming, right out of the shower (ik that’s bad), riding in a convertible, etc. and it’s perfect. Plus it’s small/medium in size so I put it in my backpack with me.” – Jocelyn N.
A set of kid-safe nylon knives (42% off)
Promising review: “Kid is getting some knife skills in and I’ve actually used them myself a few times cause they cut better than some of my kitchen knives. Was surprised by how well I could slice up a tomato with them” — C. Carter
The Bug Bite Thing (30% off)
Promising review: “These things are so simple its sort of ridiculous. They work amazing. This is my second order of these. I now have them everywhere from one in each bathroom, one in the RV, one in my beach bag, and one in my car. I have a special needs child who also has his own and finds it very effective and easy to use. Be aware, you can easily give yourself a “hickey” with it on more gently skin like the inside of your arm or ankle so if you let small kids use it, just watch them the first couple times so they don’t over do it. If you count the 20 seconds they recommend, the “hickey” is avoidable even on more gently skin.” — momofmany
Crocs lined toddler clog (32% off)
Promising review: “These are perfect for when my daughter needs something quick to throw on. They are fuzzy and warm on the inside and super comfy for her. They fit true to size! We are both obsessed!” — Jacquelyn Castillo
A 5-in-1 Pikler triangle climbing set (15% off)
Promising review: “This was pretty easy to assemble, and is extremely sturdy. This is my daughter’s favorite toy right now! Money well spent!” — Jezmine
Black+Decker Dustbuster cordless handheld vacuum (33% off)
Promising review: “I have an older, maybe 25 years older model which I still use. But this one is 80% better than the older model. The suction power makes the job as so much faster and the charge last so much longer. I highly recommend the newer model, but don’t throw the older one out. Now you have two.” — LPS
Schwinn toddler balance bike (25% off)
Promising review: “My toddler wanted a bike that she could sit on and use her feet to zoom off on. This bike is lightweight enough to allow her to do any moves and also sturdy enough that there is little fear of falling over. It is extremely well built compared to many other models of balance bikes, and assembly was very easy and foolproof. Overall, a great bike for a growing toddler looking to balance. Very giftable.” — Michael
Thule 2-seat bicycle trailer (30% off)
Promising review: “This is our second product from Thule. We have twins and we are constantly outdoors. We got a double stroller that we used from when they were 3 months until now they are 2 1/2. My husband wanted to go biking with them so we decided to get the Thule Coaster XT Bicycle Trailer, we love it! He bikes long distances, and on many hills, and our kids are super happy and excited to ride all the time. It has a lot of space for them and for storage. I think we will be THULE customers for life, their products are safe, beautiful and super practical and easy to use. As parents that have to constantly have all eyes on the kids, knowing that you don’t have to spend time figuring out how to use something in a hurry is such a relief.” — Sammio7
A bubble machine (36% off)
Promising review: “This bubble machine just kept chugging along. We used it with batteries for a birthday party. It was very easy to use and the batteries last a long time. We had it going for 2 hours straight and the batteries were still fine. Good value.” — Rosalind Franklin
A 24-pack of Play-Doh in assorted colors (31% off)
Promising review: “Play Doh is a classic staple. This pack was a great deal and has all of the colors shown. I honestly thought they’d be repeated colors but I was pleasantly surprised that they are not duplicates. This pack would make an excellent gift or purchase for arts & crafts. I will purchase again.” — B
A set of three Melissa & Doug water-painting books (42% off)
Promising review: “my 2 year old loves these! We pack them for car rides and to keep her occupied during her siblings sports games! Love that there is a little compartment to hold the pen as well! — Dana D.
Melissa & Doug magnetic anatomy doll (31% off)
Promising review: “This got my 6 year old really interested in human anatomy and science in general. The tasteful and age appropriate genitalia representation is another aspect of this scientific toy that I appreciate. My daughter has been able to see the layers of the body and understand how some bodies have certain parts and all bodies have certain parts. 10/10 recommend for any family that wants to discuss human anatomy. If you’d prefer not to see/show/ discuss a penis or vagina, or breasts, this may not be for your family. (That’s ok too! Just know it’s there.)” — Courtney
Crayola washable paint set (30% off)
I’m always trying to make art projects happen with my kids and finding that either they’re too young to execute or I just lack the patience for the resulting mess (and I strongly suspect it’s the latter). Inevitably paint ends up all over their bodies and I’m left yell-cleaning and letting them watch TV while I scrub the table. However, that won’t stop me from continuing to try new mediums, like this supposedly spill-proof washable paint set from Crayola. It doesn’t have any reviews yet, but I’m willing to try anything.
