UPDATE: 10:10 a.m. ET — December 1, 2024
Black Friday has evolved into a weekend-long shopping holiday and as a shopping editor who has closely covered Cyber Week over the last few years, I can confirm there are still plenty of discounted wares worth adding to your cart. In fact, there's a good chance most brands will extend current savings through Cyber Monday (which, this year, falls on December 2).
While I scooped up a designer rug nearly 70% off on Black Friday last year and witnessed luxury mattresses — think: Avocado, Saatva and Purple — over $1,000 off, tech items like TVs and kitchen appliances offer the deepest discounts come Cyber Monday. That doesn't mean, however, that you can't stock up on diapering essentials, refresh a maternity winter wardrobe for less, or get a headstart on crossing people off your holiday shopping list. Below, I carefully curated a collection of massive markdowns on everything from baby gear to good gifts to help parents and parents-to-be save some time and, more importantly, money.
The Best Early Cyber Monday Baby Deals
Below, check out the best Cyber Monday deals I plan on sharing with all of the young parents in my life — I found maternity clothes, strollers, toys and other baby essentials up to 90% off. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back regularly; I’ll be doing an hourly deal check from now until Cyber Monday.
Up to 25% off sitewide at Lovevery: The more you spend at Lovevery, the more you can save now through December 8. This includes the brand's latest launch, a play kitchen that rivals the real deal, complete with running water features and different backsplash designs.
56% off Amazon Fire 8 Kids Tablet: Designed with toddlers in mind (ages 3+), this new seven-inch screen — now just $80! — comes in a heavy-duty case ready to take on sticky snack fingers and accidental drops.
Up to 40% off sitewide at Lalo: One of the brand’s biggest sales of the year is still going strong. Through December 2, you can score aesthetically pleasing play, feeding and bathtime essentials wherever Lalo is sold, including its Amazon storefront.
Up to 75% off Gerber: All sorts of baby and toddler gear are deeply discounted at Gerber, making it one of the best Black Friday baby clothing deals. Case in point: you can snag a quartet of onesies for just $10, along with free embroidery.
Apparel starts at $5 at Old Navy:One of the What to Expect community’s favorite places to shop for maternity and baby clothing alike is slashing the price of select fashion styles in half (and offering an extra 30% off select styles). The same goes for its sister store Gap!
You’ll need a car seat to bring baby from Point A to Point B safely. Luckily, there are a number of retailers slashing the price of this parenting must-have. If you need a full list of car seat deals, head here — What to Expect editors also put together discounts on booster seats and other convertible styles.
There are a dizzying amount of baby strollers to choose from — one for every niche of travel, whether that be jogging or touting two littles — but only a few of our favorite brands will be on sale this Black Friday. Ergobaby, for instance, is taking $100 off stroller purchases with the promo code BFS2024.
All sorts of feeding and baby care essentials offer discounts on Black Friday. You can snag best-selling bottle warmers, washers and sterilizers up to 46% off.
Design-forward nursery furniture has a reputation for causing sticker shock. But there’s no better time to snatch up the spindle crib, boucle glider or chic changing table of your dreams than during Black Friday events. Sitewide sales, for instance, are happening at Babyletto, Nurture& and Wayfair.
Depending on how high-tech you want to go with a baby monitor, this must-have nursery addition and portable items can cost a pretty penny. Ahead of Black Friday, however, you won't have to worry about paying full price. A number of parent-approved brands feature markdowns, including VTech and Owlet, although I anticipate bigger savings in the near future.
You may think the basics have you covered when it comes to bringing baby around town or putting your little one to sleep, but you'll quickly discover play yards, swings and bouncers are just as essential. Luckily, I found a number of brands sporting the deepest discounts this year.
Whenever sale holidays roll around, What to Expect parents on staff almost always go for diaper deals first. So far, I've spotted discounts on UV pails, changing pads, wipes and a few brands like Pampers and Huggies.
Black Friday is the perfect excuse to finish holiday shopping ahead of December, and this year I’ll be grabbing tons of toys for my nieces and nephews. Personally, I’m scouring the shelves at Pottery Barn Kids — 100s of items are up to 60% off during its Black Friday sale.
Quick tip: if you can hold off on replenishing your winter wardrobe staples (think: toddler mittens and baby snowsuits), you'll likely save even more, as these items tend to drop in price again closer to the New Year. Instead, I recommend shopping pajamas, running shoes and gift-worthy cashmere sweaters on Black Friday.
This is the perfect excuse to splurge on yourself — especially on items that can carve out a moment of calm in your otherwise chaotic household. (All of these lifestyle deals also make for great gifts.)
