Cheerios & Humidifiers

Kelly@TotBargains — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 11:00:02 +0000

Ahh, two classic staples of parenthood! Chilly days and stuffy noses call for a little humidifier TLC. And there’s nothing like a humidifier’s white noise to lull a tot (or a Mama!) to sleep! Crane makes a big line of “adorable humidifiers” in really really cute animal and flower shapes, but they are never on sale (I’m always looking!) so I was at least happy to see this cool Crane Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier in Green on sale at Amazon. I think it looks like a cool modern leaf. Originally $50, it’s on sale for $40 with free shipping, 20% off- but if you’re willing to forego it’s interesting shape, you could check out the Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier for 31% off ($35)!

And of course, the classic toddler snack- they’re fun to eat and play with! And throw all over the floor! Amazon has a 4-pack of Cheerios on sale for $12 (39% off) and if you sign it up through subscribe & save, the price drops to just $10- with free shipping!

Baby Mobiles, Trampolines, Car Seats, oh my!

Such a cute idea! This Wee Gallery mobile has little clips on each arm to display whatever pictures you’d think would be soothing to baby. Mommy, Daddy, doggies, kitties, trees, lakes, fine art…the possibilities are pretty endless! I like that it’s so easy to change the pictures out and try something new. And I was also surprised to read in the product reviews at Amazon that these are pretty popular for the college set to make a dorm room more homey. Kinda sweet, huh? Originally $12, the Kikkerland mobile is on sale for just $7.50- 37% off!

Here’s some other great bargains we stumbled upon today at Amazon!

The First Years True Fit Recline Convertible Car Seat in “Outdoors” color is 26% off the original $200- $148 with free shipping and great reviews!

The Galt Folding Trampoline is 55% off the original $100, just $45 with free shipping and great reviews!

A Dora Soft Potty Seat is 50% off the original $20, just $10!

The JL Childress Standard and Dual Stroller Travel Bag is 31% off, $25!

And Zulily has Stride Rite and Robeez on sale today!

Britax Boulevard, Swaddle Blankets & more!

Kelly@TotBargains — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:08:30 +0000

Amazon has been running a pretty good deal on Britax Boulevard car seats for a couple weeks and including a Britax travel cart ($80) for free with the purchase of any Boulevard. I’ve been watching for the Boulevard 70 car seat prices to dip a bit to make this a better deal, and it looks like we may just have something today! Originally $320, the Onyx pattern is on sale for $240 (25% off) and my favorite Cowmooflage pattern is on sale for $245 (23% off). If you add in the cost of the travel cart, these sets are 40% off! Now, I’m a bigger fan of using the protective car seat travel bag we found a deal on a few days ago for airline-checked car seats, but if you were planning to use your car seat on a plane, or carry it on a train, or even drag it around after you arrived somewhere, I can see how the travel cart would be a pretty good option.

Thanks to TotBargainer Carrie for sharing a deal on something I’m always drooling over in the Nordstrom baby department- the Swaddle Designs Ultimate Receiving Blanket, originally $24 and on sale in the Bright Pink color (it’s not really that bright) for $17, 30% off!

And thanks to TotBargainer Samantha for hunting down a great price on the classic Polar Express hardcover book- just $10 at Amazon, 47% off the $19 list price! She says it’s a perfect gift for a holiday baby, and I totally agree!

Ju Ju Be Diaper Bag

Kelly@TotBargains — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:45:05 +0000

I was going to start this post by listing every single thing I have in my diaper bag right now. Until I started making the list and realized that there are approximately 2 things for me and about 50 for my little tots. “Actually, I’m not even mad. That’s amazing.” Amazing that I can drag all that around every day, for sure! But it makes it a lot easier to have something pretty to carry ~~3 diapers, 2 teethers, a partridge in a pear tree~~ all that stuff around in. Like the Ju Ju Be Be All, this gorgeous confection that’s even got a tiny crystal on the zipper pull just to remind you that there’s still a little glamour left in being a mom. It’s originally $140, and rarely on sale, but there’s 4 colors on sale for over 30% off, as low as $86! I really like the “Pretty Tweet” pattern on the right, it’s 30% off, but there’s some great others too. It’d make a great gift for your favorite mommy!

PS- We’re coming up on the last days of voting in the Red Tricycle Totally Awesome Awards, where TotBargains is a finalist (they told me top 3!) in the “Most Awesome Coupon and Savings Sites” category! The competition is really tough, would you mind taking a few seconds to cast a vote for us? THANK YOU!!

Tandem Stroller, Baby Shoes & more!

Kelly@TotBargains — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:33:49 +0000

I’ve said it before and still think it’s true- there’s a stroller for every occasion. But it’s particularly nice when the same stroller can become one that’s good for every occasion! Kids playing nicely with each other? Face them together! Kids fighting? Face them apart! Baby sleeping in her infant seat? Replace the seat with her carrier! I just got an alert that Amazon lowered the price on this fantastic Contours Options Tandem Stroller, one that has a lot of the same features you’d find on the much pricier Britax B-Ready. This one is originally $260, but on sale right now for just $186, a smokin’ deal on such a versatile stroller!

And thanks to TotBargainer Cristina for finding a great deal on the True Fit Convertible Car Seat C630 at Kids Woot- just $105 shipped! The lowest price at Amazon is $142! Kids Woot is a deal-a-day website, sometimes with some really great deals.

And another thanks to TotBargainer Emily for the heads-up on a super shoe sale at Zulily. Some Mooshu Trainers are almost 60% off, and some Jumping Jacks are over half off! So cute!

Britax Car Seat Sale

Kelly@TotBargains — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:51:58 +0000

I just got an Amazon notification that the Britax car seat I had in my cart had dropped in price $40…so I was going to update our “Convertible Car Seat Sale” post from a few days ago, until I realized that a whole bunch of Britax car seats were marked down- some as much as 33% off! That’s amazing for Britax! Here’s some of the best deals- all at Amazon, all ship free:

Britax Advocate 70 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat (on the right), originally $380, now some colors $261, 31% off!

Britax Marathon 70, originally $290, now some colors $217, 25% off!

Britax Frontier 85 Booster Car Seat, originally $300, now some colors $212, 29% off!

Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat, originally $180, now $140, 22% off!

PS- I tried to post an extra deal for today to our Facebook page, but I couldn’t get the link to work there, so here it is for everyone! Parents can never have too many- a 12-pack of Sharpies in fine point for just over $6 (48% off) or ultra-fine point for just under $6 (62% off!)

Rainforest Booster Seat

Kelly@TotBargains — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:53:13 +0000

We have a great high chair that I love, but no kidding, I once stubbed my toe on that thing in our tiny kitchen and barely escaped getting a few stitches. So, suffice it to say that I understand why some parents choose a booster seat in lieu of a high chair. They’re also great for Grandma’s house, and particularly this one- the Fisher-Price Rainforest Booster Seat comes equipped with its own toy insert, and is fully adjustable for a growing child. It’s originally $37, but on sale at Amazon right now for just $25 and ships free! If you’re traveling for the holidays, you could even have it shipped right to Grandma’s house!

BabyHawk Baby Carriers

Kelly@TotBargains — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:50:58 +0000

I feel the same way about baby carriers as I do about strollers: There’s one for every occasion. Indoors or outdoors? Warm or cold? Vigorous exercise or a casual walk? With another child? Is it naptime? Okay, the last one’s for me. Kidding! But you see, same questions! In any case, I love strollers and I love baby carriers. BabyHawk’s Oh Snap! carrier has exceptionally positive reviews on Amazon, holds babies up to 45 pounds (!), has triple-padded shoulders (so necessary!), multiple adjustments, and comes in a ton of cute colors. It’s originally $140, but the elegant Grandiflora pattern (on the right) is on sale at Amazon right now for just $86- 38% off! There’s a few other colors also on sale for right around 30% off, AND an amazing deal on the Organic version of this carrier- the bold “Eyes of the World” pattern is originally $150 and on sale for $87- 42% off! I’m so tempted!

Convertible Car Seat Sale

Kelly@TotBargains — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 11:52:33 +0000

Amazon is a great place to buy a carseat- one, because they almost always have the lowest prices around, and two, because they don’t collect sales tax in most states. Which, on a $200 carseat, is no small potatoes. I thought I’d scout around for some of the best prices on convertible car seats and came up with these…hope they help! Some colors are priced higher/lower, so be sure to check them all out.

The First Years True Fit Recline Convertible Car Seat (on the right), originally $200, now $151! (Love that pattern!)

Britax Boulevard 70 CS Convertible Car Seat, originally $340, now $250!

Recaro ProRIDE Convertible Car Seat, originally $280, now $224!

Britax Roundabout 55 Convertible Car Seat, originally $200, now $157!

Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat, originally $190, now $138!

Britax Marathon 70 Convertible Car Seat, originally $290, now $217!

And if you happen to be traveling soon, I highly recommend this car seat travel bag. I forgot to plan ahead on a recent trip and we had to fork over $50 for it at a big box store (argh!!) but on Amazon it’s just $36!

Travel Inflatable Bathtub

Kelly@TotBargains — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 11:00:32 +0000

I happened upon a great price on this Disney inflatable bathtub, but then I’m like, eh, inflatable bathtub. Not that exciting. Until I realized how awesome this would be for travel. Super awesome, right? I kind of wish everything was inflatable for travel. Anyhow, the cute Cars pattern and a sweet Pooh pattern are both originally $30, but on sale at Amazon for just $12.50- 58% off! There’s also a Disney princess pattern on sale for $18 (40% off). I love anything that makes traveling with a baby easier! UPDATE: The Disney princess pattern is now just $12.50 too! Go, go, go!

AND, thanks to TotBargainer Tami for sharing an awesome find with us- the KidKraft Noah’s Ark Shape Sorter is on sale at Amazon for $17, 39% off the original $28!

AND, thanks to TotBargainer Rachel for finding Halo SleepSacks on sale at Zulily today for half off!
