Caring for a toddler has its ups and downs. They can be loud, they can be messy and they can seem unbelievably complex. But with these helpful gadgets, caring for your little one can be somewhat easier.
Tide To Go stain remover pen
Let’s face it, when a toddler is involved, mess is virtually guaranteed.

Fortunately the Tide To Go pen lets you treat that spill before it becomes a permanent stain. It’s easy to use and fits conveniently in your purse, so you never have to worry about cleaning up messes on the go again!

Munchkin Snack Catchers
Toddlers need to eat, but they also like running around all the time. So how can you allow both these things to happen? It’s easy with these convenient snack containers. The soft flaps stay closed until little hands reach in to grab their favourite snack. That means your little one can run around as much as he or she wants and still get fed!

With all the running around toddlers do, it’s important to keep them hydrated. And it’s only natural that you want to keep them and your home safe from spills at the same time. Fortunately Gerber’s 2-handle spill-proof cup lets you do both. The double handle makes it easy for your little one to run around with it, while the spill-proof and leak-proof valve keep liquids in.
