It’s hard to put a price on something so precious, but let’s be real. Babies are expensive.
Lucky for us, many October Prime Day deals have stuck around. Parents know the drill. When a sale strikes, we jump. Prime Big Deals Days may have formally concluded on Oct. 9 but there are still plenty of deals left to shop — meaning Prime members have more time to take advantage of deep discounts and free same-day and two-day shipping on baby essentials.
As a shopping writer and new mom-of-one, I’ve learned a few lessons in the realm of baby-rearing and what I’ve dubbed baby-budgeting.
Here’s a big one: skip the splurges (they’ll grow out of them), stick to the basics, and buy things when they’re on sale.
RELATED: Prime Day toy deals range from board games to LEGO sets up to 60% off today
It’s for all these reasons and more that Amazon Prime Day remains my favorite time to stock up on essentials across some of my favorite tried-and-tested brands like Frida, Graco, Ergobaby, Pampers, and more.

Prime Day Car Seats and Strollers Deals
UPPAbaby Vista V2 Stroller
I’ve tested many strollers in my tenure as a shopping reporter and new mom, but I’ve never gotten my hands on the acclaimed UPPABaby Vista V2. While a splurge, this stroller is all the talk of the town — known for its simple yet sleek build, ample storage space, and convertible modes for up to three kids.
Britax Willow SC Infant Car Seat
The Britax Willow is another top contender in the car seat category. While it has a lower weight limit than the Graco Extend2Fit, it does satisfy all the safety requirements and comes in a range of stylish colors that parents love.
Baby Trend Expedition Jogger
It’s hard to find the time to work out when you’re a new parent, which is why a sturdy jogging stroller is a great investment. This one features a lockable front swivel wheel for ease of maneuverability, all-terrain bicycle tires, plus a convenient parent tray for snacks!
Mompush Wiz 2-in-1 Convertible Baby Stroller with Bassinet Mode
It’s hard to go wrong with a stroller that easily transforms as your baby grows. With the Mompush, you can take this buggy from a basic stroller to an infant bassinet in minutes. The full-recline option makes a perfect spot for napping.
Graco Grows4Me 4-in-1 Car Seat
The Simply Safe Adjust Harness System grows with your child. It has a 10-position adjustable headrest, which ensures a perfect fit as your child grows. Not that you were worried but it also has 6 different reclining positions to make sure your child is comfortable.
Baby Trend Expedition 2-in-1 Stroller Wagon PLUS
If your baby has been attempting to wiggle out of their stroller, it may be time for a wagon. This option of Baby Trend is built for all your adventures, featuring plush seat cushioning that can be transformed into a lie-down mat and a flip-over basket that can be used at the front or back of the wagon.
Evenflo Slim 2-in-1 Rotational Car Seat with SensorSafe
Though a bit more expensive, the Evenflo Gold Revolve360 still deserves a spot on the list as the one most worth the splurge. The one-hand, 360-degree rotation makes it a breeze to get your child in and out of the car, which means less straining and heavy lifting for new parents.
Dream On Me Vista Moonwalk Baby Stroller
If you’re not sold on the fancier feature-heavy strollers, but also don’t want something that looks like it will fall to pieces the second it hits the ground – I suggest the Dream on Me. This budget-friendly stroller folds down, comes with a full-size canopy, and weighs only 13 pounds.
Prime Day Deals on Baby and Mommy Essentials

Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine, Night Light
I was gifted the Hatch light shortly after giving birth, and I can’t stop telling everyone how much it’s worth it. This small, but mighty device offers light and sound pairings to help your baby wind down at night, and believe me when I saw both you and your baby will be sleeping better once you start using it.
Munchkin PAIL Diaper Pail Baby Registry Starter Set
Don’t worry about smelling dirty diapers again. The Munchkin PAIL is a new parent’s best friend. The patented self-sealing system keeps odors contained whether the lid is open or closed, so your nursery smells fresh all day.

As a new mom, I’m all about things that make my life easier. You never know when you’re going to need to act fast and this waterproof changing pad could seriously save the day when diaper duty calls. There’s even a well-placed pocket for wipes, so you won’t have to go looking!
Ergobaby Embrace Cozy Newborn Essentials Baby Carrier Wrap
Slash 40% off the Ergobaby Embrace carrier. Wraps can be confusing and uncomfortable, this was one of the few baby carriers I managed to put on by myself. It’s simple, lightweight, breathable, and adjustable to a variety of body types. Best of all, it folds up easily so you can throw it in the bottom of a diaper bag when you’re on the go!
Willow Go Hands-free Breast Pump
I’ve seen moms get into Facebook fights over the Willow Go Hands-free Breast Pump. This is one of the most popular, expert-recommended breast pumps on the market. It offers hospital-grade suction, no clunky cords are involved, and it connects with an app where you can adjust your suction and track your input.
RUVALINO Diaper Bag Backpack
Diaper bags are great, but let’s face it — parents don’t always have the hands to carry them. The Ruvalino backpack has all the bells and whistles of a typical diaper bag, without the hefty price tag. It’s got plenty of pockets for bottles, toys, diapers, snacks and more. Plus, it’s marked down over 50%.
Desitin Daily Defense Baby Diaper Rash Cream with Zinc Oxide
Diaper cream might not be the first thing on your wish list, but it’s certainly essential. Desitin was the first brand my daughter’s pediatrician recommended, and it’s done its job swimmingly. I recommend stocking up while it’s on sale and keeping a tube in every room in the house.
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Maximum Strength
I learned this lesson quickly. Every new parent needs plenty of butt-paste on deck. This maximum-strength formula is clinically tested and formulated with zinc oxide to fight against the worst cases of diaper rash. The Boudreaux brand gets plenty of love on Amazon, so we’re excited to see it marked down.
Momcozy Breast Pump hands-ree M5
Leave it to Momcozy to make a breast pump that real moms love. It’s only 2/3 of the size of a typical pump, but some say it’s up to twice as efficient. The pump mimics the shape and sucking of a baby’s mouth to promote milk flow and secretion. Minimal parts mean it’s much easier to clean, too!
Royal Angels Baby Nail Trimmer
Baby manicures can be nerve-racking. Especially, for fussy little ones that can’t hold still. This electric file is easy for parents and babies. It’s designed to safely and quickly trim and polish tiny nails, and the whisper-quiet motor is a major plus.

With dry winter nights ahead, you may want to consider a baby humidifier to make breathing more comfortable. This one runs for up to 24 hours, and the mist-maker is adjustable so you can choose the strength level of your steam. Another great bonus — it works as a nightlight too.

Here’s another essential I don’t think I couldn’t live without. The Owlet Dream Sock tracks everything from your baby’s pulse to oxygen levels, wakings, and other sleep trends in real time.

Prime Day Deals on Baby Diapers and Wipes
Huggies Natural Care Sensitive Baby Wipes
Huggies was not playing around with the natural care wipe line. These wipes are thick and durable, and provide an effective clean without causing any irritation. I also appreciate the fact that the easy-clasp dispenser keeps them from drying up.

These plant-based diapers offer up to 100% leak protection while nourishing your baby’s skin with a shea butter-infused liner. They’re free of fragrances, parabens, latex, and elemental chlorine, providing trusted, safe ingredients. Hypoallergenic and now twice as soft as before, they’re gentle on your baby’s delicate skin.

The Children’s Place Baby Family Matching
For a holiday family-matching moment (hello Christmas cards!), look no further than The Children’s Place. This apparel brand has knocked it out of the park with its cheerful pajama designs that start with newborn sizing and go all the way up to XL adult. Most pieces are already reasonably priced, but with the added Prime Day discount, you’ll have no excuse but to buy a set for the whole family.
Gerber Baby 12-pair Sock Bundle
If you thought you had a habit of losing your own socks, just wait until you have a baby. Teeny-tiny socks always seem to find their way out of the sock drawer, which is why a Prime Day deal on a sweet Fall sock deal can not be missed.
The Children’s Place Baby Puffer Jacket
It’s getting chilly outside, which means it’s time to add a wind and weather-resistant jacket to your baby’s closet. This one is marked down 44% and comes in a range of stylish colors like bright red and navy blue. What’s not to love about it?
Gerber Unisex Baby Plushy Soft Hooded Animal Character Bathrobe
I may have prefaced this roundup by recommending to stick with the basics, but if there is anything extra to add to your cart it’s something oh-so-cute that is also under $10. Cue the baby bathrobe. There are photoshoots bound to happen.
Gerber Unisex-Baby 8-Pack Short Sleeve Onesies Bodysuits
As adorable as baby clothing is, the fact of the matter is that it doesn’t last forever. Babies grow like weeds, which is why I decided to bundle up and purchase most of my daughter’s clothing from Gerber. The fabric holds up well in the wash and the buttons clasp easily for quick changing.
