If it feels like summer has flown by in the blink of an eye, you’re not alone. Whether you spent the past few months prepping your nursery for baby’s arrival or chasing toddlers through splash pads while school’s been out of session, there’s a silver lining to summer drawing to a close: major end-of-season markdowns on baby gear and parenting essentials.
Even though Labor Day is still a week away, there are plenty of early discounts to jump on now. In other words, you don’t have to wait until September 1 to save big. From prenatal vitamins that moms swear by to washable rugs that can survive your little one’s messes, here are the best baby deals this week, along with a few Labor Day sales worth marking on your calendar!
This Month's Top Offers |
|
40% off Ritual’s Rarely-on-Sale Prentals
Between nausea and chalky tablets, many moms-to-be struggle to find a prenatal they can take without gagging. What to Expect’s very own executive editor, Melissa Bykofsky, swears by Ritual’s multivitamins.
After seeing hundreds of moms praising the pills for being easy to swallow, plant-based, and packed with 12 essential nutrients (think: folate, omega-3 DHA, choline bitartrate, and more), she bought a few bottles for her second pregnancy. Normally $39 a month, you can lock in 40% off your first order if you start a subscription before September 2.
40% off Cute Clogs at Amazon
While I patiently wait for the official Labor Day-related deals to drop at Amazon, I do plan on scooping up fall-ready footwear in the meantime — starting with these Birkenstock dupes (40% off). All you have to do is slip them on and head out the door. These will especially come in handy if you're past the point of bending over in your pregnancy or your hands are full juggling a newborn and diaper bag. And for the kiddos, I spotted these cutesy rain boots (29% off in cat, frog, and bug characters).
Up to 30% off Yeti Coolers & Tumblers
Another worthwhile Amazon deal worth checking out this week: up to 30% off Yeti straw tumblers, water bottles, and cooler bags! The latter is perfect if your Labor Day weekend plans include a family adventure. Beach days, camping trips, or even picnics with baby at the local park, this soft cooler bag can hold up to 32 cans or 15 pounds of ice. Parents also appreciate the magnetic seal and kangaroo-style pocket to keep your keys, phone, or (let's be honest) stash of wipes within reach.
40% off Tumble's Washable Rugs
Between spit-up, milk dribbles, and a wake of crushed Cheerios, keeping up with all the messes a little one brings can be rough. But Tumble’s machine-washable rugs make the upkeep easier. And during the brand’s Labor Day sale (running August 22 through September 2), you can get roll out a new rug in multiple rooms — not just the nursery! — for way less. The entire site will be 40% off, allowing you to pick your preferred design. But rest assured that all offer the same soft, low-pile construction that resists staining.
Psst: While not part of the sale (I know, I'm bummed too!), Tumble just launched cushiony floor mats perfect for tummy time and future play dates with friends this week. Simply press the foam pieces together like a puzzle and transform your hard surface into a soft, safe place.
Secret Sale: 35% off Cozy Earth
Sleeping while pregnant can be a pain (literally). But by using our exclusive promo code WHATTOEXPECT at Cozy Earth, you can score one of our favorite sleep saviors at a sweet discount.
This down alternative-stuffed body pillow with a bamboo shell will support your bump and hips to help you catch more quality Zzzs. Looking for other ways to upgrade your nighttime routine? You can also scoop up silky-soft PJs or the brand’s famous cooling sheets (they just launched linen and cotton collections, which are equally great for reducing night sweats)!
Up to 60% Off Crate & Kids Nursery Storage
I probably don't need to tell you, but babies require an astonishing amount of stuff. And finding a stylish way to store it all is half the battle. These oversized cotton bins from Crate&Kids are sturdy enough for your hidden stash of blankets, toys, diapers, and more. Plus, the textured rose pink is perfect for a nursery, and the most deeply discounted!
Don't need storage bins? No worries. The brand's Labor Day sale officially kicks off tomorrow!
20% off a Kid-Friendly Bug Spray
Even I don’t love using bug spray. But with a weekend in the woods coming up, I know I need to bring some form of repellent to keep pesky mosquitoes and ticks at bay. In my camping bag, you'll find Mimikai. It's a DEET-free, EPA-registered natural spray that’s safe for kids ages 2 and up.
BTW, if you’re hoping to stock up on baby-safe bug sprays, head here.
Up to 50% off Nurture& Nursery Furniture Faves
If you’re dreaming of a nursery that feels equal parts chic and functional, this is the sale to shop. Now through September 2, you can score up to 50% off sitewide. This includes one of our favorite nursery gliders, the Glider Plus, which is $400 off. Moms say they’d live in this if they could — think: power recline, built-in USB charger for those endless middle-of-the-night feeds, and easy-to-clean fabric that can handle spit-up and snack crumbs alike. And if you’re still on the hunt for a crib, the Newport style converts into a toddler bed, so it grows right along with your little one.
