Sales?

Anybody hunting for deals on baby stuff today?

I've been looking for a double stroller (I'm thinking of the Chicco Cortina Together) and a reclining glider, but I haven't found good sales so far. I'll have to keep checking this week. What about you all?

If anyone is looking for good cloth diaper sales, on the wink diapers website, you get 50% off your entire order today with the code blackfriday16. This is great for getting newborn diapers, because you can easily get a lot of 6 gender neutral diaper covers for only $30 plus shipping. That's a steal.

I cloth diaper my 15 month old. I mostly use flats and prefolds since I stay at home, but I like pocket diapers for grandma, babysitters, and if we're going to be out for more than one diaper change. I really love rumparoos and blueberry covers, but wink covers are awesome!

Prefolds are probably best if you're going to cloth diaper a newborn because they're easy to wash and dry pretty quickly. But try different kinds! Every kid and family will be different.

Amazon has the Graco 4ever all-in-one car seat for $60 less than it retails in store. Even if you plan to use an infant seat at first you'll need another car seat after about a year or so and after doing my research this one seems to be the smartest option. The weight limit is 120 pounds so it should last until DD is a full grown adult lol

I use a combination of prefolds with covers and pockets for my 13 month old. I agree with @hjphillips that prefolds and covers are best for a newborn. They are way cheaper, easier to wash (imo), and not really any harder to use until the baby gets old enough to be real wiggly with diaper changes. I like thirsties brand covers best, but it definitely depends on your kid's proportions.  You kind of just have to try a could and see what works for you. For prefolds, though, I have found that Green Mountain Diapers Cloth-eez are a million times better made than anything else i have seen or used.

Someone made a post on Reddit about Black Friday sales for maternity and baby things. Here is the link that includes the Reddit post with comments (including some sales not mentioned in the article) and the article in question.

ETA: ThredUp.com is also having a sale on gently used maternity and baby clothing. It's a good, cheap way to get name brand clothing.

If anyone is interested, Motherhood Maternity has these leggings on sale for $10 today. https://www.motherhood.com/mobile/Product.asp?Product_Id=91922Z10480&MasterCategory_Id=MC5. They are my favorite ever, and I wear them with the belly panel doubled over when I am not pregnant, too. I've been wearing my current pair since 2014 and they  are pretty worn out, so I just bought two more.

I also just bought some for $12 from Blush Pink Maternity, but I haven't tried those before.

Old Navy is having a good sale today for cyber monday. 50% off site wide including maternity. I got some basic long sleeve t-shirt type tops for around $7-9 each and some PJ pants that were around $9.

@ellie111227 Thank you! I just ordered some!

Target is running 15% off pretty much everything, and add an extra 5% to that if you have a RedCard. I think kids clothes are already 40% off, so you could probably get some good deals! Just got a $75 rock and play for $50.
