A 10-pack of colorful unisex HonestBaby tees for 41% off that'll reset your kiddo's closet with their latest size and without any extra stress for Mom or Dad. Apologies, though, I can't offer any advice on how to get them from rolling around like a feral creature when you try to get the shirt on 'em...
Heather Braga: "I bought these for my toddler in January 2024, and they have held up SO well! Lucky for me, he's on the smaller side, so when I first received the 2T size, they were a bit big on him. Over a year later, they still fit! They've washed beautifully over the last year or so, are soft, and my son loves that they don't have a tag. I love that they have so many colors in the set; they've been easy to match with other things he already owns. Will definitely order the pack again the next time he has a growth spurt."Promising review: "I'm really impressed with this product! It's exactly what I needed and offers great performance for the price. The quality is solid, and it's very easy to use. Shipping was fast, and it arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend if you're looking for something reliable and affordable!" —JosePrice: $29.47+ (originally $49.99; available in sizes newborn–7Y and eight sets)
An Oxo diaper wipes dispenser for 39% off sure to be a beloved addition to your changing station. The one-press opening and weighted interior mean you can grab wipes with one hand, which is unnervingly necessary when your baby's favorite time to wiggle around is on top of the dresser while being changed.
Mallory Mower: This does everything it claims and makes changing so much easier than it could be. It fits large packages of wipes and really does work with one hand. Out of all the changing tools I use, this is the one I recommend the most.Promising review: "My husband and I both did not want a wipe warmer for our baby, but I didn't want to have to deal with pulling multiple wipes out of a package each time; this product was our answer. This wipe holder is amazing! The seal keeps our wipes moist. Not only does it fit any type of wipes we use, but it also looks sleek and fits nicely on our diaper caddy cart. The lid easily opens when pressed on, which is extremely convenient during those times you're one-handed. The weighted plate on the inside allows for wipes to be pulled out without twenty coming out at once. When filling it, I just cut open a package of wipes and place them into the wipe holder. 10/10 recommend!" —Lisa MariePrice: $13.99 (originally $22.99)
A SlumberPod blackout sleep tent for 25% off — the lowest price its ever been! — if you've ever tiptoed around a dark hotel room at 7 p.m. while your baby slept in a pack 'n play. It turns any setup into a dark, breathable sleep nook that folds down small enough to toss in a carry-on. There's even space for a monitor and fan, so your kid can sleep, and you can actually relax.
Sally Elshorafa: This tent was a total game-changer for us. We traveled a lot when my son was an infant, which meant bouncing between unfamiliar sleep setups. But thanks to this, his sleeping arrangement always felt like home. It kept things dark and consistent, so he slept great no matter where we were. We even used it at home for a few months while transitioning him to his own room. Yes, it's a bit of an investment, but it was worth every penny. It fits over a standard pack 'n play (and even worked with a smaller crib we had), which made traveling with a baby feel so much less chaotic. We'd pop him in, zip it up, and he'd fall right asleep. Bliss. Promising review: "My family has a cabin that we love to vacation at. It only has one room with a door and two loft rooms that are very open and are shared by multiple people. Obviously, having a baby complicates this setup. We decided to give the slumber pod a try, and it allowed our baby (and us!) to sleep soundly in an unfamiliar place. I really appreciate how quiet the zipper is; my light sleeper didn't even stir. The size of the pod is perfect and fits well over our pack and play. I was shocked at how dark the pod is, even with how breathable the fabric seems." —Lauren HuntPrice: $149.99 (originally $199.99)
A Tushbaby hip carrier for up to 35% off that'll keep you from straining your back when your kid simply insists on being carried all the time. Reviewers love how comfortable it is and also go wild over the amount of pockets it has for all sorts of gear (including your own phone, keys, and wallet).
It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face. See why this mama calls the Tushbaby "the best invention for parents of young children" on TikTok. Mallory Mower: "A true Brooklynite, my daughter started *insisting* on walking outside at 11 months old. This side carrier helps us move things along faster when she gets tuckered out. I love using this on the subway, as she can sit down and move around without my needing to get her out of a carrier. It's also stellar for breastfeeding on the go, whether I'm sitting or standing. BTW, Tushbaby is a small biz run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life."Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weights around 30–35 lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer CallePrice: $54.99 (originally $84.99; available in three colors)
An Owlet Dream Sock for 33% off (tied for its lowest price ever, folks) because you deserve to have peace of mind while you fall asleep — without waking up every other hour to check and make sure your baby is still safe and breathing. This comes with four socks you can charge and use throughout the night to track and monitor your baby's sleep patterns, oxygen levels, and heartbeat through the Owlet app.
Samar Hadri: As a new mom, this dream sock has given me such peace of mind as I sleep through the night. Before this, I would find myself waking up so often just to check on my daughter and make sure everything was okay. This sock records her sleep and allows me to see and save her sleep patterns every night so I can make sure she's getting enough snoozes.Promising review: "After using this for almost three months now, I absolutely love the Owlet! As a new mom who's been afraid of SIDS, as I have a family member whose baby brother passed away from SIDS before all of this technology to prevent it, I was afraid of the possibility, and this product has helped me to sleep at night. I had pre-partum and now postpartum depression, and one thing I have never worried about every single night is my baby sleeping soundly all throughout the night. I do still check on him, but I'm not panicking trying to figure out if my baby is breathing. I love being able to see his sleep cycle and keep up with his movements! To anyone looking for a great gift for a new mom to be able to use for a long time, as well as for several children, this product is the one to go with. I feel that in this day and age, this is not a want but a need, especially for parents with anxiety!" —Alice WoodPrice: $199 (typically $299)
A *red* Toniebox Audio Player Starter Set for 38% off, which is essentially a tiny stereo that toddlers can control all on their own, just by swapping out which character magnetically sits on top of it. Each individual figure tells different stories and sings different songs — it's a great way to keep kids entertained without a screen.
Heather Braga: "This toy has bought me so much time. My kids adore theirs — even though they're only 3 and 1 — they have no problem understanding how to turn the Toniebox on, change the volume, and place different characters on top to tell various stories. He's a big fan, as am I! It can also be used while it's charging, so there's no need to worry about your toddler having a meltdown if they want to play with it while the battery is drained (phew)."This specific kit comes with the Toniebox as well as Tonies figures of Woody, Lightning McQueen, Simba, Winnie-The-Pooh, and Playtime Puppy.There are so many different Tonies you can add to keep the fun going — check 'em out.Price: $99 (originally $159.99, other colorways reflect this price) and check out everything else on sale from Tonies!
A Momcozy wearable breast pump for 30% off (lowest price ever!) to free up your hands while you get your kiddo's next meal ready. Now you can finally cook dinner, clean up, rock your baby to sleep, or even lounge around to watch TV without worrying about holding up a manual pump.
Samar Hadri: I don't think it's dramatic to say that my postpartum journey was changed when I switched to these wearable pumps. During the first few weeks after giving birth, I was using a combination of manual and electric pumps — both requiring me to sit still for 15–30 minutes as I attempted to pump as much milk as possible. Since I was trying to pump every two or three hours, I was spending a good chunk of my day attached to a machine, which didn't exactly leave much time for chores or even relaxation. And then I got the Momcozy pumps.These slide perfectly into my nursing bras and allow me to go around cleaning up, cooking dinner, taking care of my daughter, or simply just lounging in front of the TV. I've even worn these pumps around Disney and while walking around the mall! The battery life is amazing, and I've gotten more milk in less time than my hospital-grade electric pump! It comes with four flange sizes (17/19/21/24mm) so you can find the perfect fit, and an exquisite storage handbag! Plus, it connects to an app so you can track how much you're pumping and for how long! Highly recommend!Promising review: "I am so glad I made the decision to purchase this Momcozy M9. My supply dipped, and I didn't like being stuck on the couch for every pump; it made it hard to make plans and be out in the beautiful weather. I am able to go out and about, with the milk boost selection, I have doubled my milk expression. I am in love! Best purchase I've made to date!" —ShanaPrice: $188.99 for a two-pack (originally $269.99; available in two colors)
A Nanit monitor and wall mount for 33% off because it'll help you keep a watchful eye on your babe while they sleep — you can also easily see stats on how long they've been asleep or if they're standing and not-so-patiently waiting for you to come scoop 'em up.
Heather Braga: "I switched to the Nanit monitoring system when my daughter was born because the app has an incredible split-screen option that lets me watch both kiddos at once — it's been a game changer. It's super easy to set up, and once you've done so, there's nothing more to do but the occasional software update. The app itself is simple: it shows you a view of your kiddo's crib, notes how long they've been asleep, if they're crying, or if they're standing. The audio and picture are so clear (including the night mode) and the camera itself is unobtrusive to my kids' rooms' decor. I also love that even if I'm out (rarely), I can check in on my sleeping babies for some peace of mind."Promising review: "This baby monitor is an absolute parenting game-changer — a solid 10/10 in every possible way! The seamless synchronization with your phone, even when you're away from home, is revolutionary. The real-time alerts for sound and motion keep you informed about every move your little one makes. The standout feature is the ability to meticulously track your baby's sleep patterns, capturing every waking moment, putting down, and sweet falling asleep. Revisiting memories of your baby sleeping is an emotional treasure, and the expert advice on optimizing sleep for your child is a priceless addition. If you seek a baby monitor that seamlessly integrates advanced technology with practical parenting insights, look no further. This monitor has elevated my parenting journey, offering unparalleled peace of mind and heartwarming memories. A resounding 10/10!" —Savannah WoodenPrice: $199.99 (originally $299.99; sometimes $249.99 at Amazon)
A two-pack of Tubby Todd All Over Ointment for 20% off — the first recorded time it has been on sale via Amazon! It'll be parents' saving grace for any skincare issues their tyke throws their way. It's formulated with plant-based materials like Jojoba Esters and Camellia Leaf Extract that naturally moisturize skin but *without* any heavy fragrances. It's a thick, reliable cream that soaks in quickly and works wonders on everyone and everything.
Tubby Todd products are great for sensitive skin, are designed for all ages, and have been clinically Dermatologist and Pediatrician tested. Additionally, Tubby Todd is a family-owned small business.Heather Braga: "I have yet to come into contact with a parent who doesn't rave about the Tubby Todd brand — and for good reason. I've been using their bath products since my son was born but only recently gave their All Over Ointment a try with my daughter. I don't know why I waited so long. It's INCREDIBLE. She has more sensitive skin than my son did as a baby, and a little of this has gone a long way in keeping her skin moisturized. Most recently, I used it on my son's cheeks after he had been rubbing them against his sleeve nonstop, causing bright red irritations. I applied it before bedtime, and by the morning, he was as good as new — no redness left at all!"Promising review: "OK, so I'm ready to join the hype. My son has terrible eczema on his neck and his armpits. They were inflamed so badly. I took him to the doctor about five times because it didn't look like eczema to me. It just looked like a weird rash. They kept telling me that there was nothing they could do, it's just eczema. I've tried Aquaphor, Vaseline, Eucerin, and Aveeno, but nothing worked. It just seemed like it made it worse. I bought this cream and literally the next day, his eczema got better. I am so amazed and extremely sold! This company could take my money any day lol I am so thankful and grateful because I was becoming very concerned! If you are looking for something that can help your baby's eczema, please get this! You will not regret it!!" —KylaPrice: $46.60 (originally $58; available in two scents)
A Ms. Rachel Speak & Sing Doll for 27% off plus an additional $2.80 off coupon (the lowest price it has ever been!) that boasts 4 songs and 16 phrases — all of which have been embedded into parents' brains already. If you *don't* know all the words to "Icky Sticky Sticky Sticky Bubble Gum" you're about to 😉.
Heather Braga: My kids (aged 3 and 1 months) are equally obsessed with our savior, Ms. Rachel. I've been using the fantastic Ms. Rachel Speak & Sing Doll to help get us through the crankiest times of the day (one click of it changes my daughter's entire persona, it's wild). It's been crafted by Gund, so you know it's a quality plush item. My son immediately wanted this doll to sleep in his crib — we just turned the sound off for the evening and told him Ms. Rachel needed some rest (haha). He is also loving the Ms. Rachel Melissa & Doug Letter, Number, and Game Wooden Learning Blocks (which are currently 45% off!) and my daughter loves grabbing at this Herbie Sensory Take-Along Toy (which is 17% off right now) while in her car seat.Promising review: I love the size, color, and design of this doll. Not only is it easy to use, but the quality of the material is impressive. The detail they've put into this toy is just astonishing. My two-year-old is absolutely obsessed with it. The interactive features are a huge hit. It's such a cute doll that fits perfectly in the little ones' hands. This has quickly become a favorite in our home!" —williamsclanPrice: $18.09 (originally $29.99)Check out all of the discounted Ms. Rachel products while you're at it!
A bath toy thermometer for 20% off that'll become your most reliable bathtime companion — it'll alert you to precisely what temperature the water is and if it's an appropriate one for your baby to soak in. You've got enough on your plate, let this seal take the reins on this one.
Mallory Mower: "At our house, this little seal is named Lou (a nod to all the other Arrested Development fans out there), and it's a beloved member of our family. We've had this since before the baby was born (around 15 months), and you better believe I tested it out ahead of time. I love burning hot baths, so I knew I was no judge of safe water temperatures. This reads really clearly (blinking blue if it is too cold and red if it is too hot) and fast. We are a less-is-more toy family, so my daughter loves having a cute toy to play with, and I love that it doubles as a useful tool. Cheers all around."Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing. All you have to do is throw it in the water, and it starts to read the temp. No need to turn it on and off. It blinks red whenever the temperature is considered too high, which I love because whenever I'm getting a newborn ready to get in the bath, I don't want to have to sit and hover over it reading the temp — if it's not blinking, I know it's within a good range. So just turn your warm water on, throw this guy in, and you'll know instantly if it's good to go or needs adjusting. Plus, it's super cute!" —Madalyn RochePrice: $11.99 (originally $14.89; available in two colors).
A Munchkin Night Owl Stroller for 20% off (best price ever!) so your stroller doesn't get damaged or — heavens forbid — lost when tossed around in the airport's baggage claim. This is the perfect travel stroller once your little one is able to hold themself up since it can easily be compacted, comes with a carrying case, can fit in a plane's overhead compartment, AND has a little light built-in so you can see where you're walking when sightseeing lasts well past sunset.
Samar Hadri: As someone who takes over a dozen trips a year, this stroller is absolutely perfect for my family. After traveling with a baby and suffering through the pain of having to juggle a child and a suitcase while walking to baggage claim, this stroller (which fits in the overhead compartment) was perfect. I can carry it in its accompanied carrying case, and when it's time to use it, it can easily unfold! Plus, I love the lil' lights, which come in handy when I'm trying to take nightly walks and don't feel like carrying my phone in flash mode to see the road ahead of me.Promising review: "This was/is AMAZING!! Very easy to use! Quick! Sturdy and PERFECT for the airport!!! Had 3 people there order one in front of me after seeing me fold it up and then open it back up!! RECOMMEND 100000000000%!!!" —ChristyHPrice: $203.30 (originally $254.13)
Or the Graco Ready2Jet Stroller for 20% off — we use this as our primary stroller because it's so, so easy to open and close one-handed while you're holding baby at the same time. It slides right into the trunk (we have a sedan) when you want to go somewhere, fits well in the small storage space we have for it in our apartment, and overall is significantly more convenient than the bigger, fancier stroller we had for a while.
Natalie Brown: Granted, we needed the other stroller when our kiddo was a newborn and couldn't quite sit up by himself, but once he got to the point that he could, we left the other stroller at grandma's house to use there. The one-handed fold is SUCH a game-changer — like yes, convenient for travel, but don't you want that convenience literally all the time, including when you want to go for a walk around the neighborhood? I def do, and we take more walks because of it. The seat fully reclines for on-the-go naps, the basket underneath is surprisingly spacious, and the wheels have handled (easy) hikes on dirt paths just as well as sidewalks.Promising review: "We love this stroller for travel and everyday errands! It performed excellently on our recent trip to Florida. Baby was comfortable, and it folded easily with one hand for the airplane boarding process. The only con is that there is no snack tray; however, there are universal snack trays available for purchase on Amazon." —TessPrice: $151.99 (originally $189.99; select colors on sale)
A starter set of Chicco Duo Newborn Hybrid Baby Bottles for 20% off with glass on the inside but plastic on the outside that'll ensure your baby's milk will only touch pure glass. This means no gross smells, aftertaste, or discolorations over time!
Heather Braga: "Before my son Noah was born, we were hoping he'd like the Chicco Duo bottles (since, at the end of the day, we knew we'd end up using whatever brand he preferred). These were our first choice because they have such unique features that other bottles don't — so we were absolutely thrilled when he took to them right away! Luckily for us, my daughter (who is now 1) adjusted the exact same way and adores them as well.On the inside of each bottle is a super-thin layer of unbreakable glass that prevents babies from drinking directly from plastic. I know what you're thinking… glass = heavy… but you'd never even know there was glass in these bottles! They're so lightweight my babies have had no problems holding them up on their own. The other great feature of these bottles is the nipples they come with. They have a slow-release design to help prevent little ones from chugging their bottle and developing gas bubbles in their bellies. Additionally, they're shaped for intuitive latching, which I can only assume would be helpful for parents who are both bottle-feeding and breastfeeding their babies."They're also dishwasher safe, can be used in a bottle warmer or sterilizer, and are free of BPA, BPS, PVC, and phthalates.Price: $43.99 for an 8-piece set in blue (originally $43.99)
Bose QuietComfort wireless headphones for up to 43% off if you're in need of a reliable, noise-canceling pair that'll block out the sounds of your colicky kid when you are *trying* to help them out but are getting way overstimulated. With a padded over-ear fit, 24 hours of battery life on a single charge, and phenomenal audio, they will help keep you calm even when your baby...isn't.
P.S. These come with an audio cable with an in-line microphone so you can use them without a Bluetooth connection or even when the battery is depleted!Mallory Mower: "These were my own summer Prime Day purchase last year! I'd had an older version for *several* years, and, like their predecessor, this new pair has basically become part of my body. Noise-canceling headphones were a really important tool for me to have on hand with my newborn. I love having them on during stressful nights of teething because they keep my tired self from going too wild when my kid just needs to be comforted. Bless. Bose."Promising review: "It's hard to imagine that these headphones leave any room for improvement. Their spatiality and clarity are excellent. The accuracy of music reproduction is good enough even to pick up occasional flaws in the original recordings and/or differences in recording processes. Noise cancellation has improved dramatically vs Bose's original entry years ago. Great for use in a gym environment as well as airline travel." —HarrisonPrice: $199 (originally $349; available in five colors)
A 3-in-1 Frida Baby Infrared thermometer for 30% off with a built-in sensor that'll make taking your tyke's temperature a breeze. You can also remove the tip and use it as an inner-ear thermometer and use it to take your own as well! Perfect for any parents who err on the side of caution and find themselves checking their kiddo's temp anytime they look a bit flushed (ahem, me).
Heather Braga: "My son is prone to getting *very* high fevers, so I've always needed to have a reliable thermometer on hand. I truly love the Frida Baby one (and, honestly, everything the brand makes), as it can be used in more than one way. I like having the option to take his temperature on his forehead and in his ear, then compare the two to feel like I have a pretty accurate reading. It lights up green if the temperature is good and red if it's a bit too high (or low!). It's so easy to use. My 3-year-old has learned how to use it on his own (he likes to check his stuffed animals for fevers, haha). I've literally never had to change the batteries, and I've had it for over a year!"Promising review: "So easy to use!! Popped it straight out of the box and was able to use it without instructions. In fact, even my 3-year-old was able to use it on her own without my help. Definitely a must-have!" —NichellePrice: $27.99 (originally $39.99)
A set of two baby spoons for 31% off to make the starting solids transition easier (and more fun!) for your baby. These are specifically designed for little hands aged six months and up, and are great for teething. While other baby spoons tend to be too long or too flexible, this one is just right; it'll allow your infant to self-feed with ease and without frustration.
Sally Elshorafa: These spoons were a surprise hit in our house. They're the perfect size for tiny hands just figuring things out, and they double as great little teethers when your baby inevitably starts growing their teeth in. I tried several brands of spoons, but they were either too floppy or too long. These are sturdy, easy to grip, and don't end up flung across the dining table out of boredom. If you're starting solids and want something that'll actually make self-feeding easier, these are it. Pro tip: Throw them in the freezer for a bit if your kiddo's teething; the coldness can help ease the pain. Promising review: "It is a great first spoon/feeder for babies. It's super easy for babies to hold and bring to their mouth as it is very small. My baby started using it as a teether first and now she can eat some pureed solids by herself with this. It's easy to clean, I had no problem with it." —J&M Mackie Price: $8.98 (originally $12.99; available in various color combinations).
Outlet covers for 20% off with a hidden pull handle, so when your mini-me becomes mobile seemingly overnight and is suddenly interested in doing nothing but sticking their tiny fingers into any exposed electrical sockets, you'll be prepared.
Heather Braga: "We have these in our home and they've been fantastic — honestly, they're so efficient I felt like I struggled to figure out how to take them out as an adult. My kids literally still try to pull on them (they're wild little things), but they don't budge! One pack (which comes with 45 plug covers) was more than enough to baby-proof our home."Promising review: "I purchased these specifically because I've had the regular type and get tired of breaking my nails trying to get them out. Plus, a toddler is watching how you do it, so these are a bit more stealth if you cover your hand while flipping out the handle." —Fair Comprehensive ReviewsPrice: $6.72 (originally $8.50; also available in packs of 32, 42, and 55)
An electric nail file for 20% off because all new parents can relate to the fear of trying to clip their little baby's nails for the first time. This nail file is gentle for newborns and comes with five different attachments so you can choose the perfect size for your baby's age. It even has a little light that pops on to help guide your way to safe clipping.
Samar Hadri: I have one of these, and I absolutely adore it. When my daughter was born, her nails were quite long for a newborn, so I was ecstatic to have packed one of these in my hospital bag. It was so incredibly simple for me to use and was absolutely painless for my daughter. It's been 10 months, and to this day, I use this like three times a week to file her nails. This is straight up a must-have!Promising review: "This is the easiest trimmer ever. DON'T BOTHER WITH REGULAR CLIPPERS. I love how it has sanders for all ages, very easy to use, has a light on it which helps distract baby as well as help see, I recommend this to everyone." —WhitneyPrice: $13.59+ (typically $16.99; available in seven colors)
A set of Moonkie stacking cups for 26% off — they come in beautiful colors, are made from durable (read: chewable and washable) silicone, and my 10-month old has LOVED them since he could sit up reliably at around 6 months old, which is definitely not the case for most of the toys we have.
Natalie Brown: At first, he liked knocking down the stacks I made, and these days, he carefully takes them apart one cup at a time (most of the time; sometimes there's still an epic tower topple). Eventually, he'll start stacking them himself, too, so I know they have even more months of use ahead! They're soft, so when they fall, they don't make a loud noise or have the potential to bonk anyone's head. They have holes in them, so you could take them into the bathtub and the beach. Sometimes I put Cheerios in them too, for fun! Promising review: "I bought these for my 1-year-old as a new toy for a trip with several plane rides. It was a hit! Since it is made of silicone, I did not have to worry about loud sounds that would distract other passengers, and they didn't slide around on the tray tables. Both my toddlers enjoyed stacking and sorting things (like pom poms) with these cups. Since they are made of food-grade silicone, I saved the bigger cups to hold snacks on the plane (but also brought pacifier wipes to clean them if needed). They are super easy to clean when you arrive at your destination and can be used in the bath or at the pool/beach. I now recommend these to all my friends traveling with young toddlers!" —MPrice: $11.89 (originally $15.99; available in two colorways) — and check out all the Moonkie Prime Day deals here
A universal cup holder for 30% off that can be easily attached to your stroller or diaper bag to ensure that you keep yourself hydrated, as well as your little one. It comes in an array of fun colors and has drainage holes in the bottom. 👏
Ryan and Rose is a family-owned small business that creates stylish accessories parents will love. Heather Braga: "Reviewers also love adding this cup holder to other objects like their spin bikes, beach chairs, shopping carts, and more. I picked up one of these and attached it to my son's Doona Liki Trike (which has no cup holder or pockets). I use it to hold my wallet and keys whenever we go for a walk around the neighborhood — it's great!"Mallory Mower: "I have an unreasonably nice stroller and I feel very lucky. Although my luxury stroller knows how to keep my kid comfortable, it underestimated how often I'd be taking the kid on walks just to go to Starbucks. This was an absolute necessity. I love that it doesn't fill up with condensation and my drinks don't wobble when I walk!"Promising review: "I am obsessed with these holders! I have a huge stroller that a conventional cupholder won't work on, the Ryan And Rose Cutie Holder is perfect! I am actually order a second one that I can use to hold to hold my cellphone! The uses are endless! Stock up when you can!" —ShopTillYouDropPrice: $13.98 (originally $20; available in 11 colors and in multipacks)
Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener for 20% off. It'll conceal and brighten the dark circles under your eyes SO FAST you might even forget you stayed up literally all night long with your infant (watching the sun rise was nice, though, right?) This lightweight color-adapting formula now comes in four fabulous shades!
The color adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action. Heather Braga: "I've personally tested this out and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me."Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. Price: $4.80 (originally $6; available in two shades)
An indoor climbing gym that's 20% off if your kid has all the energy in the world and needs a way to get it out. This 5-in-1 set (ramp! slide! rocker! ladder! climber!) will keep little bodies moving and big imaginations fired up. It folds down when you need the space back, and it's sturdy enough to handle years of unpredictable toddler antics.
Sally Elshorafa: I'll be honest, I originally bought this because it looked cute. But now that we've had it for some time, I can say it totally delivers. My kids use it constantly: climbing, sliding, racing cars down the ramp, turning it into a cave, there — there's always something. It's super solid and doesn't clash with the aesthetic I've got going with the rest of the house. The colors are fun but not loud, and it's held up beautifully through all kinds of chaos. Promising review: "My daughter absolutely loves this climbing gym! It keeps her entertained for hours and provides a great way for her to stay active indoors. The design is sturdy and safe, and the 5-in-1 setup offers plenty of variety to keep her engaged. I love that it's Montessori-inspired, encouraging independent play and motor skill development. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a fun and functional play gym!" —CarlosPrice: $127.20 (originally $159)
A Boon folding toddler tower for 22% off — it's sturdy, has grippy nonslip feet, an adjustable height, and is exactly what your dying-to-always-be-hands-on kid needs to partake in nightly cooking or daily crafting.
Heather Braga: "My son is 3 and extremely interested in being involved and independent, which is a bit exasperating. We didn't have the right tools to let him help safely in the kitchen until this toddler tower was introduced to our lives. It's not bulky, which is great because we have enough kid stuff all over our home, and I love that at the end of the day, I can fold it up and put it aside. It's very sturdy, but I had my son practice climbing up and down on his own in a carpeted area for good measure (he did so like a pro). It can easily be wiped clean (love) and holds up to 50 lbs, so it'll be useful for quite some time!"Promising review: "The standing pad is large and slip-proof, providing a sturdy and safe place for toddlers to stand. The bar is great to keep toddlers secure and contained on the stand. The bar folds down, and the tower stores it conveniently. The white color is chic. The materials are high quality. I looked months for a toddler tower and I am extremely satisfied I purchased this one because of the quality, safety, and convenience to store." —Paige M.Price: $101.99 (originally $129.99, available in white or grey).
An ergoPouch sleep sack for 20% off that'll convert from a swaddle sleep sack — with their arms tucked in — and adjust to a toddler-friendly sleep sack once your baby is old enough to roll over. The design'll keep your baby safe, snug, and (thanks to clear TOG *thermal overall grade* ratings) the right temperature all night long!
Mallory Mower: The sleep sack above has a 1.0 TOG rating, making it ideal for room temperatures between 70–75 degrees F. Knowing what temperature your child's sleep sack is made for can help kiddos sleep longer (by not waking up from being too cold) and prevent overheating or the need for extra blankets, which can be a suffocation risk. Be sure to check out the ergoPouch landing page so you can see the different styles and TOG ratings for each item (the higher the number, the warmer the material).This sleep sack is my toddler's version of a beloved baby doll. She *loves* it and wears it every single night and for most of her naps. If she isn't in it, she sleeps far, far less. She can move comfortably in it, and it's a cinch to keep on during a diaper change. Promising review: "Snug fit makes baby feel swaddled and helps them relax. The best feature is a two-way zipper. I'm amazed how many sacks don't have it. I can change her diaper by just unzipping the bottom part, and with minimal interruptions during the night. I also never understood sacks with Velcro, as the minute you try to open it up, there is so much racket, and any sleep your baby was having is out the window. This sack has worked so well for us that I just bought another one." —lesya kichyginaPrice: $31.96 (originally $39.95; available in several sizes styles at varying discounts)
An organic dual-sided crib mattress for 25% off if you want one purchase to last through the infant *and* toddler years. One side is firm and flat for newborns, the other is cushy and cooling for bigger kiddos. It even has a washable, waterproof cover for the inevitable "oops."
Sally Elshorafa: I went down a serious rabbit hole researching crib mattresses, and this one came out on top. It grows with your kid. My daughter used hers from infancy through toddlerhood and always slept like a dream. My son's two now, and it's been just as great for him. Bonus: when accidents happen (and they do), it wipes clean easily. Promising review: "We bought this mattress for our first child and just repurchased it for our second. I love how firm it is for the infant and that we can flip it over to use for a toddler as well. No smell, no noise when baby is rolling, expands quickly." —KarliPrice: $103.99 (originally $138.50; available in four colors)
A Zak Designs BPA-free, leak-proof cup for up to 30% off to make transitioning off a bottle during the day a breeze — and they really and truly do not leak (phew) so when your toddler shakes it upside down (and they will) you won't have a fountain of water to mop up.
Heather Braga: "I cannot even begin to tell you just how many toddler cups I've tried out for my son before settling on these. They really don't leak, he can't open/close it for fun like he does with flip-top cups, and he has no issue using the straw (I think because it's thicker than most!). I personally like that they come in a bunch of fun styles. I've since purchased the Disney Princess ones (seen above, left) for my 1-year-old daughter and she gets SO excited over seeing her favorite characters on her cup. She tries to shake the water out of it every night at dinner, but to no avail. My favorite feature, however, is that I can toss it into the dishwasher for easy cleaning!"Promising review: "They don't leak or volcano everywhere! It's taken so long and so many different straw cups but we finally found ones that don't make a huge mess, even when our son is trying to make a mess!" —A. SmithPrice: $13.99+ (originally $20.99; available in 20 styles)
An investment-worthy kids' table and chairs set from Lalo for 20% off that'll transform your unruly playroom into a cute spot for your tykes to hang out. OK, maybe that's a bit optimistic of me to say. But it WILL give them somewhere to enjoy a snack and color that is *not* the floor.
Lalo is a small business! Heather Braga: "I'm such a fan and have tried so many items from this brand — I've yet to be disappointed. My son is now at an age where he loves to have his own designated spot to sit and watch TV or work on a craft or enjoy a snack...well, you get the point. This cute table and chairs have been perfect for exactly that! The legs are all made of beechwood and are very light, so he and his little friends have no issue moving the chairs in/out on their own. I like that it's a little bit off the ground so he can work on puzzles or create with Play-Doh without my 1-year-old getting her hands on them. The table itself is very easy to wipe clean (a must), and I love that the colors blend in nicely with the rest of my home's decor."Price: $260 (originally $325; available in four styles)
A sea turtle Hugaround for 20% off — a weighted doll designed with heavy flippers so it can "hug" and cling to your kiddo, even staying on them while walking around! This sweet pal is both microwavable and freezable, so if your kid is sick of hot weather, you can toss it in the freezer and help them chill out! If summer travel means your babe is sleeping in places they aren't used to, having this extra cozy pal around may be just the thing they need!
Mallory Mower: The images above are of my daughter and her turtle, "Dude." Dude is a part of our family. I don't know many toys that surprise adults as much as this one has. The weight is so cleverly distributed, it really does provide quite the satisfying hug. We've had multiple adult friends over since we got Dude, and they are even more impressed by it than the kids! In large part, I think, because the kiddos *expect* their friend to hug them back – it's just proving their imagination right. Which is the very best. My toddler was sick a few weeks ago, and she loved it when we would freeze Dude and then have it sit beside her to cool her off. Though she doesn't sleep with it, both my husband and I have put it on our chests during naps (I'm not kidding, grown ups are suckers for this thing) because... It's soothing! If I were to get myself a stuffed animal, this would be it. And I don't own all the other versions yet, so... maybe I will!Promising review: "Sawyer is my new work-from-home buddy and has made my life so much better! The weight is super comforting, and being able to heat it up or cool it down, depending on how I'm feeling? Incredible. As an added bonus, wearing it on my back with its arms hugging my shoulders helps my posture. Definitely going to be my go-to gift this year!" —RachaelPrice: $36 (originally $45; available in four styles)
An Ayla & Co diaper bag for 16% off (this is a rare deal!) that can hold everything you need for your baby in absolute style. Not only is it practical, but it's incredibly fashionable, so you won't feel like your diaper bag is clashing with your perfect outfit.
Samar Hadri: This bag comes with a reusable snack bag, stroller straps, a vegan leather changing pad, a reusable wet bag, an insulated and removable bottle/snack pouch, and a removable and washable inner lining.I ADORE this bag — I literally get compliments on it wherever I go. Not only is it super cute and doesn't clash with any casual or fancy 'fit I wear, it holds literally everything I need. There's a slot for wipes, a place for diapers, and an insulated pouch that clips inside the bag and can be removed — which is PERFECT for bottles that need to be kept at the perfect temperature. Plus, it zips open completely, so it's incredibly easy to locate anything you need. L.O.V.E. Promising review: "This backpack has been a game changer! I got it for my third, and it is wonderful! It has two pockets on the outside for cups or wipes, and it unzips all the way down on the sides, which makes getting this so easy! Also, it's gorgeous and easy to clean! It can be a backpack or you can pull the strap easily to go over the shoulder, so my husband doesn't mind carrying it either! Either way is comfortable!—Shelby PowersPrice: $175.20 (originally $209; available in five colors)
A set of blackout velvet curtains for 20% off because it's peak summer, so your little bub probably will sleep better if the super bright sun isn't blasting through their windows at 8 p.m. And they're so soft, you won't be able to resist touching every time you walk by.
Plus if you hang them ~high and wide~ — like they did in the photo here — you can instantly make any windows look bigger. Natalie Brown: I've been putting these in BuzzFeed stories for YEARS so when we needed blackout curtains for exactly the reason I described above, I jumped at the chance to get them. They're just as gorgeous in person as they are in this photo. While they definitely work *together* with the closed window blinds to effectively block the sun, they block significantly more light than the blinds alone, which has led to easier and longer naptimes, and much easier bedtimes. Promising review: "These curtains are absolutely beautiful and a fantastic product for the price. The feeling and weight of the curtains far surpassed my expectations. I purchased them in dark slate for my son's nursery to help block out light for nap time and I absolutely adore them. They cut down on heat entering the room and light. I would 100% purchase them again." —JerniganPrice: $29.59+ per 95" panel (typically $36.99; available in varying combinations of 63", 84", or 95"; with grommets or without; and 12 colors).
