Best Prime Big Deal Days Sales on Strollers, Diapers, and More Baby Gear

Mama Bear Plush Protection Diapers were a close second in our disposable diaper ratings and did very well in our dryness and absorption tests. They’re a great bargain because they deliver a high performance at a budget-friendly price. The diapers have a wetness indicator and an umbilical cord cutout to protect your baby’s bellybutton. The sizes range from newborn (up to 10 pounds) to 7 (41 pounds and up). According to the manufacturer, the diapers are made with sustainably sourced pulp and are free from elemental chlorine, bleaching, natural latex, phthalates, lotions, and fragrances, although we didn’t verify this claim. 

Like the Mama Bear Plush Protection Diapers, the budget-friendly Mama Bear Gentle Touch diapers did great in our diaper tests, acing both the absorption and dryness evaluations. The newborn-size diapers have an umbilical cord cutout and are fragrance- and lotion-free. A wetness indicator signals when it’s time to change your baby’s diaper. Though there’s no plain design option, these diapers keep it simple, with an illustration of a bear and the brand name inked along the waist.

The diapers are made without elemental chlorine, perfumes, lotions, parabens, and phthalates, according to the manufacturer, though we didn’t test this claim. They’re for newborns (up to 10 pounds) to Size 7 (41 pounds and up).

At 18 pounds, the Chicco Liteway Stroller may be the heaviest of the umbrella strollers we tested, but it’s still simple to use and easily folded and unfolded. In our tests, we found it responsive and sturdy, maneuvering well even on rough terrain, and overall it earns a top score for safety. Despite its weight, it still folds up to an extra-small size and has a carry handle for toting around. When its seat is reclined, basket access is limited (and our diaper bag didn’t completely fit in the basket).

The Delta Children Jeep PowerGlyde Plus is a lightweight stroller that stands out for its safety and for its especially ample canopy, which will help shield your child from rain and strong sunshine alike. Our testers found it highly maneuverable, too, though it’s a little unsteady on rough terrain (which isn’t uncommon for lightweight strollers). It’s pretty light and easy to carry at 14 pounds, and while it doesn’t fold with one hand or stand on its own when folded, it folds up to an extra-small size that won’t take up too much space at home or in the car. The stroller’s seat reclines (though not far enough to make it suitable for infants under 6 months old), and it has a decent-sized basket, though it can only accommodate something as large as a diaper bag with the seatback fully upright.

At 13 pounds, GB Pockit+ All-Terrain is a light and popular choice for travel. It is extremely compact when folded and should easily fit in an airline’s overhead compartment. The stroller comes with car seat adapters that work with GB, Maxi-Cosi, Cybex, and Nuna infant car seats. That said, it has a tiny basket and is not the greatest for storage. Smooth pavement is best for this stroller—it did not fare as well on rougher terrain (despite the name!).

The Baby Jogger City Sights stood out in our testing with its easy, one-handed fold and one-touch brakes. The seat is reversible, which gives your little one the option of facing out to watch the world roll by or keeping their eyes on you. The stroller navigated smoother surfaces best—it didn’t maneuver as well on rougher terrain. One heads up: You will need to purchase additional adapters to pop in a car seat.

The Britax Brook+ stroller is smooth and sturdy, earning a top-notch score for maneuverability. It has built-in convenience with large cup holders (hello, hydration) and it is self-standing when folded, which is really helpful for storage whether you live in an urban or suburban setting. It is compatible with the Britax Willow and Willow S infant car seats, and some Nuna, Cybex, and Maxi-Cosi seats. 

The Britax Grove Stroller tops CR’s maneuverability test and earns top marks for very easy, one-handed folding. It is a little large when folded, but it’s self-standing, which means it takes up less space between strolls. The stroller gets kudos from our testers for offering a reversible seat, which lets you pick which way your little one faces. It is compatible with the Britax Willow, Willow S, Willow SC, and Cypress infant car seats, along with some Nuna, Cybex, and Maxi-Cosi seats—no adapters needed. Alas, it lacks cupholders.

The car seat in this Chicco travel system, designed for a maximum weight of 30 pounds, scored extremely well in our tests for ease of use and its fit-to-vehicle belt and latch. It has a great balance of crash protection and maneuverability. As for the stroller, our testers found it very easy to fold up, which can be done with one hand. But they found the handle shape a little uncomfortable, and the front wheels don’t lock. The stroller has a good-sized basket for such a lightweight model and there’s a seatback storage pocket, and the fabric seat cover is removable, so it can be hand-washed.

The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double is a stroller frame that can accommodate two infant car seats. It performed excellently in our safety tests, and it’s as easy to use as the single Snap-N-Go, but it’s a bit harder to maneuver, as double strollers tend to be. It’s easy to fold and unfold, though carrying it folded can be a little awkward. But it’s compatible with a number of car seat brands, and it also meets Disney parks’ stroller size requirements.

The 4moms Connect receives high marks in our safety tests and is very easy to use, but it’s only so-so in our ease-of-cleaning evaluations. This chair is much lighter than our other top picks at just 17 pounds, thanks to its plastic construction. It has a foam seat, allowing you to simply wipe it down to clean it, but it lacks wheels and can’t fold up for storage. Other features include a food tray that you can remove with one hand, a seat that reclines and allows the height to be adjusted, and the option of converting it to a toddler chair.

Used by celebrities like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Lalo The Chair has a more modern design aesthetic than your typical high chair, thanks in part to its distinctive wooden legs. Our testers find it very easy to clean and somewhat easy to use. It also did very well in our safety tests. The Lalo has a food tray, but it can’t be easily removed with one hand. It’s one of the lightest chairs in our ratings at just 10 pounds, and can also convert to a toddler chair. The Lalo features a machine-washable seat pad, but it lacks wheels, recline and height adjustments, and the ability to fold up for storage.

The Eufy Spaceview baby monitor comes with its own display and handles the video feed locally, so it doesn’t have the privacy and security issues of internet-connected models. Our testers reported that the screen is bright, sharp, and relatively large, and they found it to be the easiest monitor to use.

The Nanit Pro lacks its own display. Instead, it transmits video and audio through the company’s servers to an app on your smartphone. It’s the only one of the models with this configuration to earn a CR recommendation. But it still falls short of the best wireless security cameras in privacy and security.

The 4moms MamaRoo Sleep Bassinet received high marks in nearly every category. Like the Snoo, it has tons of features, including movement and sound options. Unlike the Snoo, which has one type of movement (rocking back and forth) and sound (a generic white noise) with adjustable levels, the MamaRoo has customizable sounds and movements. For example, if you aren’t a fan of the plain white noise “fan” sound, or baby isn’t, you can change to MamaRoo’s rain, ocean, or “shush” (like a parent saying “shh, shh”) sound. Our testers found the MamaRoo easier to control than the Snoo, as many of these features can be controlled via buttons on the side of the bassinet—which is helpful if your phone dies or you have a caregiver who is perhaps less tech-savvy.

Our testers appreciated that the MamaRoo has an adjustable frame height, so you can make sure the bassinet lines up comfortably with your own mattress height, should you choose to place it directly beside your bed. 

Cons: Unlike the Snoo, the MamaRoo doesn’t activate automatically upon a baby’s fussing. It weighs 29 pounds—less than the Snoo, but more than our winning bassinet, the Graco Sense2Snooze—and thus isn’t super-easy to move.

The Ashton 5-in-1 Convertible crib from Dream On Me is made from reclaimed New Zealand pine wood and comes in eight different colors. Although it can convert from a crib into a toddler bed and full-sized bed, its conversion kits must be bought separately, so it’s somewhat less budget-friendly than other cribs because those costs do add up. 

This crib has four mattress heights that require two people to change, but this task is still easier than it is for some other cribs we tested. Construction quality, however, isn’t great—various wooden pieces of the crib don’t sit flush with one another, though this is an aesthetic concern, not a safety concern. 

On the other hand, it’s pretty easy to assemble from the start. “It’s perfectly okay,” says Joan Muratore, who oversees crib testing at Consumer Reports, “and the price is right.”

The Graco Affix booster seat performs very well overall, earning high ease-of-use scores. It’s designed for use by children measuring 30 to 100 pounds and 38 to 57 inches tall. (Some children may reach this height and weight around 4 years of age—consult CR’s car seat recommendation chart for guidance on when to upgrade your child’s car seat.)

The seat can be used in both highback and backless modes. As with all booster seats, Consumer Reports recommends highback use, which provides a better belt fit and offers some side impact protection over backless models or when the back is removed. Highback mode lets you adjust the lap and shoulder belts to cross your child’s body at the safest possible position: low across their hips, and centered on their shoulder across the collarbone. 

The Affix is lightweight and easy to transport and provides very good belt fit especially when used in the highback mode. Secure the Affix to your vehicle using the lower LATCH anchors for added safety.

The programmable Levoit Dual 200S Smart ultrasonic humidifier performs well at a low price. Designed to humidify up to 290 square feet, it earns top-notch scores for its overall moisture output, low noise, energy efficiency, and output using hard water. It’s not quite as convenient as some other humidifiers because you can’t fill it from the sink, but in its favor, it features a long cord and a built-in humidistat. It also lights up and shuts off when empty.

The Frida 3-in-1 with Diffuser and Nightlight cool-mist humidifier is quiet and efficient, and it works well even when filled with hard water. It’s also fairly convenient: For instance, it shuts off automatically when empty, and glows in the dark. You also can add essential oils for the unit to diffuse. However, we found it didn’t live up to the manufacturer’s claim that it could humidify areas up to 320 square feet—say, a room of about 18x18 feet. So it’s better off being used in a smaller area.
