(And psst: don't sleep on the best Prime toy deals either!) The savings are huge, but so are the options. So I've done the legwork to pinpoint the best of the best October Prime Day has to offer your young family.

1. Evenflo Revolve360 Slim 2-in-1 Rotational Car Seat
If you've ever wrestled a screaming 30-pound toddler into their carseat, the phrase "360-degree rotation" might have special meaning to you, as in, a carseat that swivels toward the door so that you don't throw out your back every time you strap Donovan in for a joy ride (or realistically, a tantrum ride).
2. Happiest Baby SNOO Smart Sleeper
As our PureWow tester exclaimed after reviewing the SNOO with her newborn: "They get sleep, you get sleep, everyone gets sleep!" The brain child of famed pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, SNOOS are the "high-tech, smart bassinet" designed to soothe baby to sleep so they slumber better and longer—and that means you get to rest too. This is a prized sale item since its sticker price is definitely up there, but since it's 25 percent off right now, you better hop on it!
Nurture& ranks high in our PureWow testers' books for both comfort and design, this glider model has all the bells and whistles you could need (and want) for lulling a baby asleep without craning your neck (a million recline modes and lumber support) with extra perks like a USB charging portal.
4. Chicco Bravo 3-in-1 Trio Travel System
Your mission should you choose to accept it: transfer your newborn from stroller to car. Without the right gear, this would be be mission impossible. But this bundle comes with the the full-size Bravo Quick-Fold Stroller as well as the KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat and base for streamlined travel.
This lil' contraption is genius. Even if you already got the fancy high chair you registered for (thanks Aunt Hilda), grabbing one of these portable high chairs while they're on sale is clutch. They secure onto a table surface easily so that baby can enjoy (see: throw on the ground) all the broccoli they want even if the restaurant or Airbnb or your younger brother doesn't have a high chair.
6. Graco DuetConnect LX Seat & Bouncer
You only have so much space in your home. Why give so much real estate to a ginormous swing and bouncer. Enter: a nifty product that does both! Hurray! Let baby Troy gently sway or bounce to his little heart's content while you take in some important Netflix.
7. UPPAbaby Vista 2 + Bassinet
This is actually such a ridiculous October Prime deal we had to double check it. Marked down more than 50 percent, the cult-favorite UPPAbaby Vista with bassinet is indeed on sale. The only catch is that you have to be down with the "Rosewood Mélange" colorway, which happens to be tres chic!
8. Graco SlimFit 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat
Who needs all the fancy accoutrements when you have two cup holders? Seriously, a kid with a pack of Goldfish and two cup holders at his whim has the world at his finger tips. And you get peace of mind knowing little Reynolds is safely strapped into a reasonably priced (and with a hearty discount, to boot!) car seat.
Let me introduce you to the thriftiest way to get your kids to sleep better: blackout curtains. Keep the light at bay during daytime naps or those 5:30 a.m. summer hours with thick curtains that are easy to install and come in a million different colors to match your 3-year-old's color scheme.
10. Frida Baby Fold-and-Go Potty Seat
You will get to the point in your parenting journey where you will wish you had one of these handy-dandy potty seat contraptions on you at all times. This potty on-the-go is so easy to use and ultra portable—just what a fussy little tushy needs to go potty at grandma's house this Thanksgiving.
Dubbed "the OG snotsucker," let this product be warning to all those on the fence about having kids. You will have to suck snot from their tiny little nostrils at some point (make that several points), and you will gladly do it because they're so cute and so incapable of so much. Thank goodness the LOFI industrial design exists to help grownups clear their kiddos' congested lil noses.
Your baby Einstein needs some early STEM learning, and this ring toy counts toward credits (in our un-accredited school of life, that is). But for real, it's as eye-catching for babies and toddlers as it is brain-stimulating—sequence, build, count and sort with both fine and gross motor skills. And here's some easy-ish math for you: it's more than 33 percent off its original $13 price.
When it comes to baby wipes, less is more. As in, you want the least amount of toxic schtuff touching baby's bum or face. That's why I personally love WaterWipes. They're 99.9 percent water, so they're mild, unscented and hypoallergenic. Also, I appreciate that one wipe goes a long way, whether we're talking diaper changes or baby-led weaning. A five-pack is honestly the minimum, since you'll want a pack in the car, in the diaper bag, and every room of the house.
14. Hatch Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock
Sound machine. Check. Sunrise alarm. Check. Night light. Check. Music library. Check. Consider getting two while they're on sale because folks love these multipurpose devices for kids and grownups alike.
15. Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer
Do you love cleaning bottles and have all the time in the world? Then skip this product. But if you hate scrubbing and an infant is howling from the other room as we speak, consider this Prime Day 2 sale a true gem. As one reviewer (of the 178 five-star reviews) writes: "I’ve been using this bottle washer, sterilizer, and dryer cleaner for about a week now, and it has been a game-changer! As a parent of newborn twins, finding efficient ways to manage household chores is crucial. This device saves me so much time, allowing me to focus on other things around the house while having peace of mind knowing that my babies’ bottles are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized."
