Prime Day Guide: Tips for Getting the Best Kids’ Deals!
We are just one day away from one of the biggest shopping events of the year, Amazon Prime Day! This year, Prime Day kicks off on Tuesday, July 11th, and runs for two full days.
Below I’m sharing everything you need to know to navigate Prime Day and tips to get the BEST babies, kids, and families. Prime Day can be overwhelming, but it’s much less so if you go in with a plan and know how to find your way around.
Every year, we compile and share the best deals on baby gear, toys, kids’ clothing, and household items. This year, we will be sharing most of our deals in the Amazon Storefront – we have a list of kids’ deals, baby deals, and top deals!
Another way to follow along is on social media, where my team will share our top picks as we find them throughout the sale. To see these deals, follow Instagram Stories and join the Deals by TL Facebook Group.
When is Prime Day?
Prime Day starts on Tuesday, July 11th at 12 am PST and runs through Wednesday, July 12th at 11:59 pm PST. Yes, there are two full days of deals!
To shop Prime Day, you need to have an Amazon Prime membership. If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial to take advantage of the Prime Day deals. Cancel before your trial ends, or get an annual membership for $139.
Navigating Prime Day
You can navigate the event through the Prime Day Home Page. There are multiple types of deals available on Prime Day – Deals of the Day, Best Deals, Lightning Deals, and Coupons.
Deals of the Day/Best Deals: These are limited-time deals on a single item or a selection of similar items. The Deals of the Day offer the steepest discounts and last for one day, and Best Deals last up to one week.
Lightning Deals: These deals go live every five minutes and last a few hours or until they sell out. There will be thousands of these in multiple categories throughout the two-day event. You can browse upcoming Lightning Deals in various categories hours before they go live.
For items you’re interested in, select “Watch the Deal” on your computer or mobile app to receive a notification when the deal is about to start.
Coupons: The coupons available on Prime Day are the best way to stock up on household items and baby necessities like diapers, wipes, formula, and more. You’ll tick the coupon box on the product page to apply the discount at checkout. Many of these coupons stack on Subscribe & Save.
Tips for Getting the Baby, Kids, & Family Deals
If this year is like past years, there will be a BIG selection of baby and kids items on Prime Day, including diapers & wipes, baby gear, clothing, and thousands of toys.
Tip 1: Follow along! We will share our top Prime Day deals on Instagram Stories and in the Deals by TL Facebook Group. I’ve been covering Prime Day since its first year and have a team helping out, so we can cover a lot quickly.
Tip 2: Bookmark the Prime Day landing page and check it regularly throughout the Prime Day event, as deals will continuously change throughout the day. A few other pages to bookmark include the Baby Deals Landing Page, the Toys Deals Landing Page, and the Coupons for Families page.
Tip 3: Familiarize yourself with the Amazon mobile app before Prime Day. In the app, navigate to Today’s Deals to see the current Deals of the Day and view upcoming Lightning Deals. Use the filter to navigate by department (e.g., Baby, Fashion, Toys & Games). For any upcoming deals you are interested in, tap “Watch this deal” to receive a notification when the deal is about to start.
Tip 4: Combine Prime Day household and baby coupons with the Subscribe & Save discount. Subscribe & Save is a subscription service through Amazon where you earn savings by setting up scheduled deliveries on household and baby items. Save 5% on one item or up to 15% on five+ items, and you can cancel after your first order ships. Many coupons available on Prime Day will have the option to save more by selecting Subscribe & Save at checkout.
Tip 5: You may be able to combine Prime Day savings with your Baby Registry Completion Discount on eligible items. To get the extra registry completion discount, the item you are purchasing needs to be on your registry, and you must check out through the completion discount view on your registry.
