Best Parenting Hacks of 2018
From soothing teething woes to tackling sunburns, here are the most innovative parenting hacks from this year:
-
The Grocery Cart Trick
A savvy mom from Texas, Jenna Torres, took social media by storm with a brilliant method for getting little ones into grocery carts. Instead of lifting your toddler awkwardly over the cart, simply lift the panel and let them climb in themselves. “I’ve been using this method with my kids for years, and it has made shopping trips so much less stressful,” Jenna shares. -
The Beach Day Hack
Beach outings can be a blast, but securing your valuables while keeping an eye on the kids can be tricky. To keep your belongings safe, stash your valuables inside a clean diaper. While it won’t completely deter thieves, it’s much less likely someone will rummage through a dirty diaper than a beach bag full of goodies. -
The Bib Storage Solution
With so many bibs accumulating from well-meaning friends and family, it’s hard to find space for them. Mom Sarah James faced this issue daily until her husband crafted a simple solution: he turned the back bar of their toddler’s high chair into a bib holder, making it easy to grab one when mealtime gets messy. -
The Portable Changing Station
Many new dads lament the lack of changing tables in men’s restrooms. One inventive dad, Mike Rivera, created a compact changing station that fits in a bag. The bag opens up to lay on your lap, with a strap that secures it around your waist to prevent slips. This allows easy diaper changes anywhere, with compartments designed for wipes and diapers conveniently accessible. -
The Slippery Floor Trick
If you’ve ever tried to navigate slippery floors with a toddler, you know the struggle. A simple solution is to use a yoga mat to provide traction; just lay it down wherever your little one is playing to keep them from slipping and sliding.
