Lightweight and easy to wipe clean, this mattress suits parents furnishing a crib or toddler bed without wanting to spend heavily on bedding that'll get outgrown within a couple years. The dual-firmness design (firmer for infants, slightly softer when flipped for toddlers) means you get one mattress that transitions with your child instead of buying two. Buy Now at Target

Small kitchens benefit most from this one, since it folds flat for storage and comes with a removable snack tray for feeding toddlers between meals without setting up the full highchair. Buy Now at Amazon

Your toddler can sit at the table alongside everyone else with this booster, which straps onto a regular dining chair instead of taking up floor space as a standalone high chair. It's a practical pick for small kitchens or families who eat out often and want a portable seat that folds up for the car. Buy Now at Target

Folding flat for storage or travel, this works well for small apartments or grandparents' houses where a full-size high chair just takes up too much space. Buy Now at Target
