baby wipes in the car for clean up when out. a seat belt buckle cover meant to keep young children from unbuckling their seat belt. It keeps my dog from stepping on the seat belt and unlocking it so she stays buckled in baby gates to keep the pets out of areas baby wash cloths to clean my pet's eyes and I use them to apply lotion/creams to large areas of my skin.

The only thing I can think of are the very old, empty wipe boxes that we use to store medication bottles.
And we still have a few letter magnets from one of the Leap Frog toys on the fridge. Those things are heavy duty and are great for holding heavier items on the fridge.

I have baby onesies for my little dog when I need to keep her from licking an injury/hotspot on her body. She is not a fan but she looks so cute. Lol I also use baby blankets in their dog beds for them to snuggle up with.

We have continued to use a bottle drying rack long after our boys were done with bottles. It's great for cups & ziplock bags. We've even replaced our original one a time or two.

My nursing stool. It's under my desk where I sit and work/craft etc. It's a lifesaver!

Little Tike's Wagon -- it has 2 axles moving it and is so sturdy. I live in a high-rise condo, so it goes in my parking space before I leave to go grocery shopping and then I fill it up and push/pull it up the elevator and into my unit. I like that I can stack stuff higher on it. Got it at a garage sale many years ago for $20.

I keep the baby monitor on hand for when someone is sick. Three of the bedrooms are upstairs and two on the main floor. If I need to go down to the basement to do laundry or work in the office I take the monitor with me in case someone needs a drink, something to eat, or someone to hold their hair. 🤢

I don't have anything leftover from when they were babies but I have thought about buying one of those grass / tree branch drying racks to dry my stasher bags.
I do have some princess and super hero towels that they have outgrown but I still have because I don't want to throw out a good towel

Aquaphor. Ped and pharmacist recommended Aquaphor, and it's been a lifesaver ever since for small rashes and chapped lips.

Baby wipes in the car. DD18 and I like baby facecloths, they dry quickly and don't smell.

I don't think that I have any of the kids' baby stuff left, except for one lone Thomas the Tank fork in my cutlery drawer. It doesn't get used but I can't bring myself to throw it out. So even though I haven't got any baby stuff left, I do want to buy the engraved baby spoons that flanz posted about on this thread. No, not for a baby........ for myself!

I still have little bowls that I used for baby cereal/purées. We use them for small snacks.
I also have toddler spoons with the girls’ names on them which get some use every now and then.

So many things! (Youngest child is 21.) + baby wipes in my craft room for cleaning ink from my hands and stamps + plastic "zoo pals" toddler spoons for spooning cat food out of the can + baby & toddler stainless steel cutlery with Peter Rabbit handles for all kinds of things: butter knife (we call it the bunny knife), tiny spoon for getting small things like olives out of a jar or spooning just the perfect amount of jam into a thumbprint cookie, other spoons for coffee and beverage stirrers + toddler sippy cup with a squirt-type top (like some water bottles) to hold a normal amount of dish soap instead of the giant a$$ jug of Dawn under the sink that's unwieldy for hand-washing stuff that can't go in the DW + bottle brushes for cleaning water bottles and travel coffee tumblers + little flower shaped plastic toddler plates (Ikea) for all sorts of kitchen things; DH uses them when he makes a quesadilla - perfect size + toddler plastic cups (Ikea again, slightly newer vintage than the plates - different kid, LOL) still get used - again, because they're the perfect size for so many things + old "Chubs" baby wipe containers (remember those??, anyone? anyone? Bueller?) - used for storing collections of random things (for instance all my sharpies are currently in one of them; another holds gift wrapping supplies (tape, scissors, fine-tip pen, a few tags))...because they stack so nicely + small bottle of J&J baby wash for cleaning around eyes when I get an eye infection or small ingrown eyelash/stye + I still use DD's step stool and her large bunny doorstop in my craft room There's probably more, but these come to mind ATM...

Our kids' little reading chair from Pottery Barn is now the princess pooch's throne. Like littlemama , we do the diapers-as-dust-rags thing too. LOL, this reminds me that after our kid outgrew her little toddler sized Lightning McQueen foam flip couch I thought about getting rid of it. And then we adopted a 5# poodle. She hopped right up in that thing and claimed it for her own! It’s the perfect size for her and she loves it.

I still use the baby nail clippers to trim my nails. It's so easy to control the cut with smaller clippers. The baby I bought them for is 23.

Yep, gate to keep the dog downstairs.
Small kid IKEA bowls for snacks while watching TV.
Handmade burp cloths now used on the drooling hound, who is an absolute menace to any article of clothing you might want to actually wear outside the home.
The special hooded baby bath towels have likewise been relegated to cleaning said hound’s feet when coming in on inclement days.
Handmade baby blankets are prized and kept and repaired and used to keep legs warm on the sofa.

My dad still uses one of my cloth diapers (that I wore as a baby) to shine his shoes. I'm 55. That is a very old diaper.

I still have cloth diapers around from when my son was an infant. He is 31. And we still use the swing baby gate at the top of the stairs. The baby cradle and rocking horse/duck my grandpa made are now family heirlooms being used by my nieces baby
