Best of Baby Winner for Best Baby Nail Clipper

And the Winner Is: SafetyFirst Sleepy Baby Nail Clippers

One of the most anxiety-inducing new parent tasks is clipping baby’s nails. It’s a right of passage—and it does get less terrifying, we promise. The SafetyFirst Sleepy Baby Nail Clipper is beloved by parents (nearly 10,000 parents gave it 4+ stars on Amazon) because of its generous grip and LED light, which illuminates the smallest of nail beds as baby slumbers in the dark. The clipper is well-sized for tiny fingers, giving a precise cut every time. It also has a slot for an emery board so you can file shorter nails or smooth any rough cuts, keeping baby scratch-free.

What We Love

• A LED light illuminates nail beds, making it easy to see what to trim during naptime or nighttime

• The grip is well-sized for adult hands, while the clipper itself is a perfect match for baby’s little nails

• An accompanying file lets you ensure that baby’s nails are smooth—no scratches here
