6 Genius Inventions that Make Parenting Easier

Ask any parent and they will tell you there are not enough hours in a day-or limbs on a body-to keep up with the demands of raising children. However, there are some amazing gadgets available to help make the day's challenges a little bit easier. Beyond the basics like Aquaphor and exersaucers (both essentials!), we present you with six inventions that are parents' lifesavers.


Bubble Bum


Any parent whose kids ride in booster seats know the saga of pulling out the seat and sending it off for play dates and carpools. But most don't know about the downright amazing Bubble Bum, which is a safe, incredibly compact alternative to the clunky booster. It fits in any kid's book bag or backpack, inflates for use, and easily deflates for simple storage. We honestly can't say enough good things about this lifesaver. ($39.99 at Amazon)


Musical Toothbrush


Many dentists recommend the singing toothbrush to parents with toddlers who are adverse to getting their teeth brushed. Why? Because the amusement distracts them enough to allow you to get a decent brushing in. The triumphant exchange is enough to make you almost appreciate hearing the same Kelly Clarkson song morning after morning-or, if your kid is into it, this cool version that plays Queen's "We Will Rock You." ($19.99 at Amazon)

Knot Genie


If a short haircut is not an option, the best way to avoid hair-brushing confrontations with your little one may very well be this sweet little detangling invention, which eliminates the pain associated with taking out the tangles and also comes in purple, blue, and silver. ($16.50 on Amazon)


Tide To Go


Four simple words explain the beauty of this handy, portable invention: instant stain remover pen. Pop it in your purse or keep it in the car and grab it the next time there's an avocado smear on your or your child's clothing and you'll become an instant loyalist. ($9.79 for a pack of 3)

iRobot 530 Roomba Vacuuming Robot

Given how many crumbs miss the mouths of babes, it makes perfect sense that parents would be enamored of a cute little robot that perpetually zooms around the house picking up dirt, dust, and aforementioned crumbs. And you don't even have to say thank you! ($269.99 at Amazon)


Washable Crayons

Crayons that come off of fabric, floors and walls with ease? Need we say more?! ($5.27 for a 16-pack at Amazon).
