26 Products Parent Reviewers Say Deserve More Than 5 Stars

These are a godsend in a car, plane or restaurant. Just fill the pen with water and watch the kiddos color over and over. Who knew you could enjoy glass of wine without fearing a crayon explosion?

Promising review: "I love the brand and know it will give me quality products,but these are a 10 star product! They are awesome! You fill up the water pen, hand to your kid, and let them be entertained with no mess, and no lost market caps etc. good designs, good educational component with numbers and ABC's, and a lot of fun. The little books dry, and they are ready very quickly to be painted with water again. My 19-month-old and my almost three-year-old are very into these. My older nieces and nephews love them too. The two pieces of the pen unscrew and screw together fairly easily, but not too easily. My little one likes to eat markers and crayons, but with these, if she takes it apart, she is only drinking water. Genius!"—truc

Promising review: "OK, so I never write reviews, but this product has changed our lives. My 3-year-old son has always been a horrible sleeper but got worse when we transitioned him to a toddler bed. He was getting up anywhere between two to five times per night. We were exhausted and so was he. We were willing to try anything. Then I came across the Hatch Baby. I really didn’t think it would work but we were desperate. The key is consistency. We had a yellow light set as a getting ready for bed with soft music and then we used a red light with the rain setting for night time. My son loved it in the morning when the green light would come on. He would run in our room and say, "It’s time to wake up, the birds are chirping." The first week was hit and miss. We just kept saying if it’s the red light you must stay in bed. Then it happened.....the seventh night he didn’t get up. I thought maybe it was a fluke....nope. He hasn’t gotten up once since then. This product has seriously changed our lives. We are all finally getting some much needed sleep. My son is much happier and less moody. Please do not hesitate to buy this product if you need your little one to get more sleep. I would give it 10 stars if I could!!!—Julia Platt

Promising review: "These are great! I cannot say enough great things about them. My yeti was Nasty. I plopped one in, let it sit over night and it looks like brand-new. I also use them in my glass water bottles to clean them out. I got some for my son as he drinks protein shakes on the regular and his shakers are funky too. But after one of these they are clean and ready to go. I would give 10 stars if I could."—Amy Brady

Perfect for families on the go that won't slip and slide under a wiggly child. It folds up so compactly, you can practically fit it into a pocket.

Promising review: "I wish I could give this a 6-star rating. I purchased an in-store circular folding potty reducer, and it was useless. Slipped all over the toilet seat, and made my son afraid he was going to fall in. This reducer is a game-changer. It fits every public toilet we've tried and sits securely on the toilet. I'm planning to get another for my husband's truck, and this is definitely my new favorite baby shower gift."—mchmeh

They'll save the day when you're on on a road trip, camping or hiking and there are no restrooms nearby (or eww, they're too gross to use).

Promising review: "We just traveled across states and visited places with some gross porto-potties. This product worked great for my little girl who won't use them. She was even able to use them in the car. Such a great product!!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could. I am thankful for all the reviews as well, to make sure to put each one in a large Ziploc bag before traveling. That really helped us out to dispose of each one." —Dfam

It features a convenient built-in sponge applicator to erase dark circles and puffiness because you can't remember the last time you had a full night of sleep and because you're tired of hearing "you look tired."

Promising review: "I rarely give cosmetic products a five star review, but I would be happy to give this one six stars if I could. That's because this works so much better than any other under eye concealer I have tried, including those from department stores which cost a ton of money. The concealer is great — it covers well, hiding evidence of a sleepless night with ease. But it doesn't go on too strongly, making you look as if you are wearing a couple of crescents of beige paint under your eyes. The 'Age Rewinder' name is misleading: my twenty-year old-daughter grabbed it, and it worked as well on her youthfully-perfect skin as on my not-so-youthful skin. At less than $10, this is a bargain compared to all but the cheapest bottom-of-the-barrel cosmetics. It makes you look a whole lot more than $10 better, and comes in enough shades that many of us can share in this not-just-for-the-wrinkled treat." —K. Varraso

It'll make you, so, so jealous as your kid cruises around the living room looking a bit too smug.

Promising review: "If I could give this item more stars I would. Bought this for my one-year-old grand-daughter. She LOVES it! REMOTE: love this idea so adults can control it. There's even a pause button so if the kids touch the controls on the car it doesn't move until you unpause It. It goes great up and down hills, always getting neighbors and people driving by asking where we got it from. We put the lights on at night while outside. Battery lasts a long time too. Highly recommend this item."—Jennifer

It'll take the guesswork — and the dirty pans — out of your morning routine. No matter what type of eggs your ravenous kid requests (poached, hard-boiled, soft-boiled or scrambled) you can set it and forget it...until the timer goes off.

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because I need an easier way to add protein to my diet. Holy freaking crap...I wish I had one of these for years! Imade my daughter eggs using the poached egg method but added more water so they wouldn't be so runny and she ate them in about five seconds. I then made myself dippy eggs (pictured) using the poaching trays and it is a game changer! No more messy pans, no lost egg whites, no flipping...all easy! You have to mess with the water level but once you find the right level I'd suggest just marking it on the little measuring cup for what works for you. It is super easy to clean. Idiot proof to use. And makes deliciously perfect eggs. 10 stars. I would buy this over and over again!" —Allycia Goodpaster

Promising review: "This blanket has been a godsend for my extremely restless toddler. I have probably the worst sleeping child on the planet and was at my wit's end. This blanket not only keeps him asleep but keeps him in his bed. Now I’m the one waking up constantly checking on him after the past few years of him waking up nonstop. I can not recommend enough and would give this item 10 stars if I could."—Nic

It'll transport any Ariel-loving kids in your life to a tropical island so they can live out their mermazing fantasies.

Promising review: "This was a Christmas gift for our 5-year-old. A new mermaid tail blanket was #1 on her list. This mermaid tail blanket is so much cooler than any other ones I have seen. She is over the moon about it. She loves that her feet can go down into the fins so she can walk around in it. It’s much bigger than I thought so she can sleep in it and will be able to for a long time. I am so happy with the purchase and would give more stars if I could! The sleeping mask was an extra bonus. Who knew a 5-year-old would love that so much?"—myki

Promising review: "My kids were so excited to receive these tooth brushes as a Christmas present from their Grandma, they all love using them and never complain about mom asking them to brush their teeth three times a day ! The toothbrush is super effective but gentle enough for my 2-year-old and the decorative designs are so fun for your child! The tooth brush is excellent and makes my mom life so much easier!

Promising review: "I would give these cooler/ice packs 10+ STARS if possible!!! These are the best ice packs I have ever owned and I am 68 yrs old. They stay super cold all day long.I use two in my son's Igloo lunch bag and he complains his sandwiches are almost frozen when he has lunch. They take up very little room and lay flat. The packs arrive empty and you add water to activate them. You only need to do this once. So far I have only activated two of them and have used them everyday for the past six months. No holes, no leaks. Wish I had discovered these years ago! I highly, highly recommend!!!"—Eric W.

It'll catch the absurd amount of hair shed by your human or fur babies — and save you the frustration of standing in ankle-deep water to shower because your drain is clogged again.

Promising review: "Cleaning out the tub drain was something I despised, but was forced to do since my daughter and I both have long hair and both shed about as much as our dog. It was a long disgusting process which included having to take the drain apart and use a small drain snake with a velcro-type end on it. It was always so gross to pull out all the slimy hair and soap scum that had accumulated every few days. Then this little thing popped up during a Lightning Deal. I took off my drain cover and popped it in place. It fit perfectly. Then the family showered as usual. The drain worked fine. Water flowed right under the 'mushroom cap' taking with it all hair that escaped our bodies along with it. The Tubshroom caught all the hair. After two days, I pulled it out to see if it worked! DID IT EVER!! It has been invaluable when it comes to washing the dog! No more clogged drains and standing water. All I have to do is wipe/pull off the hair with a piece of paper towel and throw it in the trash. Couldn't believe it could be so simple!! No more disassembling the drain, donning rubber gloves, running a snake down the drain, and pulling out globs of hair and gunk to clean the drain and get it flowing properly. When I notice it begins draining slowly, that is my hint to clean it. This thing is amazing. It has been such a time saver and made cleaning the tub a breeze! Wish I could give it 10 stars!!" —hickchick67

Promising review: "If I could give 10 stars I would. The only stain remover I use! Not just on baby things, but adult clothes too! This stuff takes out anything. For example, my little girl spit blueberries literally all over a white Aden and Anais blanket (the thick expensive dream blanket). I was like, oh no, it's ruined :( BUT I just sprayed the spots (pretty much the entire blanket), soaked it in hot water, let it dry and then threw it in the wash. Badda bing, badda boom, not a single stain left. Nothing! Also, this was the only thing that worked to get out that bright orange baby blow outs on white onesies." —Kate

I usually pay $50 a visit to dermatologist for 30 minutes for him to get extractions which is pretty painful for him. We will be ordering more of these and using these instead!!

Sometimes laying down all night, never ever leak one drop. Not hard to clean, just hold down the button while you swish out the lid with hot soapy water, then hold button down while you rinse through with running water.
