Amazon is hosting another discount frenzy:Prime Big Deals Days, a.k.a. October Prime Day, will take place October 7 and 8. And withpredictions of limited stockon products like toys and games this holiday season, the event will be a good opportunity to stock up on gifts for kids and babies. There are already a bunch of early deals on baby gear, kids’ clothing, books, tech, and toys, so I’ve gathered the best ones I’ve found so far. Everything here is at least 20 percent off, though many of the discounts are even deeper than that. I’ve organized the list by age, so if you’re looking for something specific, you can skip ahead. Otherwise, scroll through to see what’s on sale for kids of all ages.

The deals I personally think are the best
There are early more deals on tech and toys than on baby gear and essentials, but I was excited to see theSummer Infant 3D Lite umbrella strolleron sale for just $80. It only weighs 13 pounds and can carry kids who weigh up to 50 pounds. It also has four recline positions and a storage basket that holds up to ten pounds. In terms of toys, I basically only buy Magna-Tiles when they are on sale, as they often are on Prime Day, and this 30 percent offdino-themed setis currently in my cart. Lastly, this pair ofJBL Bluetooth headphones, now 40 percent off, would make a great gift for tweens who are still learning to be responsible with their belongings.

Want to stop a tantrum before it really gets going? These colorful tubes often do the trick. They make a cool/weird sound that toddlers love; they also connect to one another and make good (albeit loud)party favors.

My almost-3-year-old son loves this set of construction vehicles — I keep them in a Baggu bag that’s always at the ready for playing in the sandbox or at the park. At this price, I will most likely buy another set to have on hand as a gift for upcoming classmate birthday parties.

This set of Magna-Tiles is at the top of my list of Christmas presents to buy for my son. We already have a few basic sets and the newerRail Racers set, but he is just starting to get interested in dinosaurs, so I think it will be a hit. It’s currently 30 percent off and comes with four dinosaur figures, plus a bunch of prehistoric-patterned tiles.

A few months ago I tried one of Ooly’s shrink-art sets and had so much fun coloring and placing each piece on the cookie sheet to bake and shrink. The set in this bundle lets kids turn their shrunken masterpieces into necklaces and key chains. You also get a set ofChunkies paint sticks, which are consistently recommended by parents as a less messy way to paint with kids.
