We’re nearing the end of day two of Amazon’s annualPrime Day sale, and the deals keep coming. Like many of you, I spent yesterday stocking up on a mix ofgiftsand boring-but-necessaryhousehold essentialslike diapers,wipes, and hand soap. But professionally, over on the kid and baby beat, I noticed a bunch of very good deals on bigger ticket items, like strollers and car seats. There were fewer discounted Lego sets than I expected, but lots of excellent toys from Melissa & Doug, Magna-Tiles, Lovevery, and Crayola. I also saw many back-to-school deals on essentials likesneakers, lunch boxes, andwater bottles. I’m back today with renewed energy to help you cut through the endless scroll of on-sale products and zero in on what’s really worth your attention.
The below list is limited to only the best deals on products that are at least 20 percent off (though a lot of the deals are even better), and I’ve organized the list by age group. Many of the items below are things that I own or have personally tested; most everything else is something we’ve written about before, as recommended by cool parents, educators, and kids themselves, or comes from a brand we trust.
I’ll be updating this post with new baby and kids’ deals all throughout this second installment of Prime Day. But you can also check out our comprehensivePrime Day hub pagefor all the deals we’re writing about. Or, for a quick summary of our top picks in kitchen, fashion, tech, beauty, back-to-school, and gifts, read our roundup of the59 very best Prime Day deals, according to Strategist writers.

The Deals I Personally Think Are the Best
I’ve spent the last couple years testing and writing about toys and baby gear. I’m also a parent, and my 18-month-old son has done his fair share of testing toys and gear as well. Based on that experience and the conversations I’ve had with smart and stylish parents over the years, there are six Prime Day deals I would check out first: Magna-Tiles are a wonderful open-ended building toy that is rarely discounted this much (they’re a good deal any time they’re less than $1 a tile); Baby Jogger’s City Mini GT2 stroller is tough yet smooth to push with a truly effortless one-hand fold; LEGO Duplo sets can be enjoyed by toddlers, but bigger kids love them too; Lalo’s high chair is one of my most essential pieces of baby gear and, because it’s convertible, something my son will be able to use for years; Avenlur’s splurge-worthy 5-in-1 toddler “gym” is a great get for this price; and Graco’s Extend2Fit convertible car seat has double cupholders and ten headrest/harness positions, and it can stay rear-facing longer than most other seats.

Cybex Gazelle S All-in-One Toddler and Baby Stroller with Over 20 Modular Configurations
I recently tested out a newer upgraded version of the Cybex Gazelle and was impressed by how luxurious it feels and how easy it is to fold or go from one seat to two. In my opinion, it’s a solid competitor for the Uppababy Vista stroller, and today it’s less than $600.
