There’s always a new “must-have” kids product promising to make parenting easier—and some of them are, frankly, a little bizarre, at least at first glance. In fact, they might toe the line into “weird kids products” territory. Sure, we grew up gnawing on wooden blocks covered in acrylic paint (probably) and chucking glass bottles across the room, and we turned out mostly fine.
But what if these odd inventions are actually genius? We combed through Amazon’s top-rated picks to uncover the weirdest, most surprisingly brilliant kids products out there. The thousands of reviews speak for themselves. From clever time-savers to sanity-savers you didn’t know existed, we came across some seriously cool products designed to make everyday life easier, save you money, and maybe even make it into the mom group chat. Plus, we made sure to check out what other parents have to say about them, too. These are the weird kids products that just might deserve a spot in your cart.

Finger Pinch Guard Door Stops, Set of 7
Tiny hands safe, doors propped, sanity intact. These cute foam stoppers keep little fingers from getting smashed (or kids from locking themselves in) and look way cuter than the old sock-in-the-door trick.
Amazon Review: Our toddler just recently became fascinated with opening and closing our doors. Obviously that comes with worries that they will pinch their fingers, so we had to find a solution fast. These have been an absolute life saver. They’re foam based and fit easily on any door. Even with my toddler trying to bang the doors shut, it hasn’t caused any damage to the stopper. We are now able to let him roam around more freely knowing he won’t hurt himself playing with a door. —Rowe

Available in 7 colors, sizes 12m – 4T. *Reviewers mention that it runs on the larger side, so you may want to size down.
Amazon Review: I ordered a 5T for my 4 year old son who is on the smaller side. It’s pretty large but will fit for years. So far he’s gone through deep puddles with it and has stayed dry underneath. I like that you can Velcro the wrists and ankles to fit. —taylor nicholaou

Amazon Review: This spray has been a game changer for our family. My kids (6 and 8) actually like using it and prefer the grape and watermelon flavors, though they’ll still use the strawberry if that’s all we have. It’s perfect for busy nights, vacations, or when brushing just doesn’t go as well. I wish I had found it sooner. Their dental checkups have been great since we started using it and it gives me peace of mind. —Amazon Customer

But my older child – age 4, 40 lbs, 42 inches was great with this. Blow it up in seconds. SO easy to strap in. Carries as nothing. Was essential for travel and even now, take it if we might take an uber home – we live in the city and walk most places but sometimes nice to jump in an uber which you typically cant do w/kids! —Rebecca S
