It Might Be Months Before Baby Gear and Toys Get Prime Day–Cheap Again

I shudder to think how much I have spent on baby wipes since my son was born. But at least I can save a little bit on a 12-pack now. These supersoft wipes are sensitive-skin friendly and equally great for babies in diapers and toddlers with runny noses.

They’re more expensive, but I love WaterWipes for cleaning everything from snot on faces and strawberry jelly on hands to marker on the coffee table.

This kit has everything you need to deal with baby colds, grooming, and teething. It makes a great baby-shower gift and is 30 percent off right now.

Baby Jogger’s City Mini GT3 stroller is still one of my favorites thanks to its supersmooth push, easy-peasy one-hand fold, and extra room, which helps it last for years and years. This is the cheapest I have ever seen it.

This is a very respectable deal on a great stroller for parents of multiples who enjoy running.

The Joolz Aer2 is one of my favorite lightweight travel strollers on the market. The sale price is not the biggest discount but still a great deal, considering it doesn’t go on sale very often.

I recently got the chance to try the Chicco Corso modular stroller and was impressed by its giant storage basket, newborn-friendly seat, and supersmooth foam-filled tires. The travel system comes with the Chicco Corso and the Chicco Keyfit infant car seat and base, which is already a good deal at full price. But now you can get the set for less than many travel strollers on their own.
