With the end of Prime Day in 2021, we have stopped updating this post and cannot guarantee that all transactions are still in stock. Check out our trading page for our latest findings.

In the past year, keeping children active, entertained and educated has been a huge challenge. Although every parent deserves a medal (and vacation) to bring a safe and refreshing summer to you and your family through the pandemic.

First of all, the bad news is: Traditionally, Prime Day is not the best time to shop for toy deals. As you approach the year-end holidays, you will see better discounts on these things. Next, the better news is: We look forward to a large number of Prime Day game offers and the types of baby products that every parent needs, such as diaper buckets, co-sleepers, crib mattresses or baby rockers and slings. Now, the best news is: you don’t need to find all these baby and children’s deals yourself, because we have already done this for you at Wirecutter. Below, check out the best prices we found on all the things Wirecutter recommends, which we think can make parenting easier.

One of the most daunting parts of being a parent is handling all the things a baby needs. Fortunately, Prime Day provides an opportunity to buy all these equipment at a discounted one-stop shopping. Whether you are looking for feeding, sleeping, diaper changing, potty training or other essential equipment for babies, newborns or toddlers, please check here for the best prices we see on the Wirecutter recommended products you need.

Bravado Designs Body Silk Nursing Bra Special Price: US$36; Market Price: US$45 Read our review of the best nursing bras.

Buying bras online can be tricky, but Bravado Designs Body Silk Nursing Bra's multiple sizes and accurate size chart (compared to some other brands) can help you order online with confidence. Our runner-up seamless breastfeeding bra is available in black or cream, and the price is reduced to $36, which is only $1 lower than the lowest price we have seen. Our testers found that Bravado’s nylon spandex fabric is elastic and supportive, but the lighter sling provides less support during care than our first choice.
