Hi! It's Amazon Prime Deal time! I have tried many products for kids, and for me, during my 11+ years of parenting 3 kids (who are now ages 5, 9, 11). Knowing that Amazon Prime Days Deals are a great time to stock up or try new products for your family, I combed through the deals to make a helpful list for what is worth it to buy during this sale!
Here are the Amazon Prime Deals products that I have tried and use to make my parenting life easier, that have lasted the test of time (and multiple hand-me-downs), and that my kids love:
BABY / TODDLER YEARS
I used this as a car seat from newborn through preschooler years, and then it becomes a booster for kid up to 100 pounds!
Dr Brown’s Glass Baby Bottles:
I love Dr Brown’s glass bottles for all 3 of my kids!
This was so easy to attach to our kitchen chair (and take with us to family gatherings etc.), and it’s really easy to clean!
TOYS
A universal toy that kids love! My kids started playing with these at age 2 and haven’t grown out of them yet – my and my 11-year-old still uses them! They’re also perfect gifts to give since it’s more fun to have a lot of them – you can never have too many!
I always have these hidden away in my back up crafts area – my kids love using fresh play-doh and this is a great time to stock up!
This no-tech drawing pad keeps my kids busy on road trips
My kids are obsessed with their cases! So many fun choices of what to use to create – and this is also great to stock up on and have ready to give as a gift!
TRAVEL
I can’t live without these when we’re traveling! I use them to organize clothes by type, or by person, and it keeps our suitcases under control and makes it so easy to find everything!
Checked Bag and Carry-On Bag Set:
I love this brand and style of suitcase for family travel! In my family we color code our suitcases and this is the brand that offers many colors, and this style has the top that works best for organizing packing (it’s a “bucket” side that can be used as a large drawer if there isn’t an easy way to unpack at our destination. Plus the weight and wheels make this easy forkids to wheel themselves!
SCHOOL
This pastel colored set of pencils is my 9-year-old daughter’s favorite!
My 11-year-old son loves this style.
Basic binders all kids need (especially starting in 5thgrade)
PARENT HELP
I love using these to store kids schoolwork/artwork, to store hand-me-down clothes, and other sentimental items in the garage. Easy to stack and seal!
I cannot live without Post-It notes! Reminders everywhere help me keep my day on track! So this is a great time for me to stock up on them.
I have used ours for 9 years. I started by making baby food in it, and now make smoothies and also use it to mix different baking items (like muffins and oatmeal pancakes). Worth the investment and this is a great time to buy it – on sale!
I hope this curated and vetted list helps you as you navigate which items are worth buying during this Prime Deal time!
