Unlike the rigid toothbrush holder built into your bathroom wall, Umbra's can accommodate lots of different-size brushes -- including kids' teeny ones! -- thanks to its flexible silicone slots. There's even a spot in the middle for the toothpaste tube. Great for corralling pens and scissors on a desk, too.

Baby products are notorious for their short shelf lives -- and big price tags. But not this multifunctional seat! At first, it provides a little welcome support as your child learns to sit upright; then it becomes a fun playtime hangout, since it comes with five toys and a detachable tray. Later on, use it as a booster seat on top of any dining room chair -- then start all over again if you have baby number 2!

Caked-on kid food is no match for this cellulose sponge's attached scraper.

We know -- we're sick of this whole 100-calorie snack-pack trend, too. But these easy-to-open little pouches filled with guacamole goodness are perfect for slipping into a lunch box along with a few veggies (and chips). The two-ounce serving is surprisingly satisfying and pleased our kid tester with its zesty but not mouth-burningly spicy taste. Plus, it's preservative-free, and with all those potassium- and fiber-rich avocados, healthy.

What mom could pass up this sturdy but cute kid's sandal made by Clarks, the British shoe company famous for its durable adult footwear?

Another plus for us overprotective moms: The closed toe means it's that much harder for your toddler to stub his tootsies. All this at a reasonable price, too. Sizes 4 to 6 1/2.
