@ellbeedee I wonder if it would be the same in Canada. Can you post a pic? I want to see the onesie!

I got the Amazon welcome box! Just had to make a registry and then order one 10 dollar item off it. My box had a muslin swaddle, a ton of diapers, a burts bees onesie, and a bunch of coupons and samples.

My Amazon welcome box sucked last time! I’ll have to try again...

Mine was definitely not that good last time either!

Target has a sale for some Graco car seats and some Fisher Price gear FYI

Redpuma119 · March 2018

Is the welcome box a one time thing? Or do you get packages more than once?

I think they vary pretty heavily based on what amazon has surpluses of at the time. Mine last one was by far the best of all the welcome kits we got, but nowhere near what ellbeedee got

If anyone has an old car seat from an older kid, or if you know someone with an old car seat that they don’t need, BRU is doing their car seat trade in event right now. You bring in an old car seat (expired/damaged is fine) and they take it off your hands in exchange for a 25% off coupon that’s good toward baby gear.

We’re having to trade in our Keyfit30 even though it’s only 2 years old because we accidentally used a cleaning product that was too harsh on the straps and we also gate checked the car seat on a round trip flight—both big no nos in car seat safety. We didn’t know we were doing anything wrong at the time but better safe than sorry.

southernlady07 · March 2018

@fwtx5815 Do you happen to know how long the coupon is good for once you trade in? We are planning to trade in our old car seat to get a new one, but I’d like to buy it as close to September as possible so the expiration is farther out (in case we have another in the next few years).

smsaulino · March 2018

@nlc8424 Target also has the Graco convertible car seats 10-20% off about every other month on their Cartwheel App

nlc8424 · March 2018

@smsaulino good to know, I'm not in need of a car seat since DS is in a convertible car seat now and we also have an infant seat that hasn't expired.

ETA: wrong thread that I replied to, will move the contents.

I don’t know yet but I think we might try to get this done today, so I’ll report back

fwtx5815 · March 2018

@southernlady07 so DH went by himself today to do the trade-in. I asked him specifically to check the expiration date of the coupon, but they had run out of physical coupons to hand out (still got the discount though). Sorry!

smsaulino · March 2018

@ellbeedee are those samples from Target or where?

smsaulino · March 2018

@ellbeedee nevermind. I missed where you said it was Amazon box. I'm headed there now to make a small registry to get a box. lol

klj0228 · March 2018

This blog has links to several free items using her coupon code.

Does anyone know if you can make a second Amazon registry or if I need to reuse/redo my old one from my son?

I’m not sure but I think in order to get the completion discount you have to delete the old one and start over. My sister and I both use my aunt’s account (yay for Prime) and she couldn’t make her own until mine was deleted.

nackie · March 2018

@chicandbubbly if you delete the old one, you can create a new one. It’s still telling me that my completion code is expired though. Hoping that updates as we get closer to the due date. I’m also unclear on whether or not im eligible for another welcome box

Wishilivedinflorida · March 2018

@nackie That's weird. I deleted my old one and made a new one and it give me a future date for the completion discount (July, I believe). I also met all the requirements for the welcome box, but they are "all out" right now and will notify me when they go back in stock. Fx that means cool new stuff! My last box sucked. But I did score a good price on an add-on baby monitor camera, so there's that!

adirat · March 2018

Wow, this is making me wonder what the right time to try to get an Amazon box is... it seems to vary widely! @wishilivedinflorida I'm super tempted since you said they have to restock...

fwtx5815 · March 2018

I’m supposed to get my Amazon welcome box on Monday

it’s apparently already shipped. I must have checked at the right time.

lynds198909 · March 2018

Costco Canada has some pretty good baby sales online until March 18

nlc8424 · March 2018

This is for us, motherhood maternity is 30% off site wide through Tuesday. 30% isn't too much, but figured I would mention it.

chicandbubbly · March 2018

Old Navy has 40% everything right now. Great for maternity basics!

treeofcheem · March 2018

I don't know how the Baby Jogger Vue stroller is, but what I assume is an older model is on Zulily for $70.

MrsBigTime · March 2018

@klj0228 Thank you for that info! Our insurance does this and I'll get all my prenatal vitamins covered. I wouldn't have even thought to look!

kbfash · March 2018

Target had a ton of maternity clearance, getting room for Spring / Summer clothes I guess My store had lots of work appropriate tops amd dresses and great quality yoga pants.

adirat · March 2018

A friend told me Babies-R-Us is going out of business. Has anyone scoped it out? Do they have any good clearance deals? The closest one to us is a bit of a hike so I don't want to go unless I know it'll be worthwhile.

EErin86 · March 2018

@adirat I think I read awile ago that toys r us is downsizing so that might mean they are also closing some BRU. I would call or somehow check local ads before making the drive

SkilledSailor · March 2018

@adirat H went to one this weekend after hearing that, but no good sales. At least nothing we were scoping out (strollers, car seats). Maybe once they’re closer to closing day?

DanyTargaryen · March 2018

Originally it sounded like some TRU and BRU were closing. The one closest to me was on the chopping block but I was just there last weekend and they said they weren't closing. This week it's starting to come out that all TRU may be closing. I'm not sure if this includes BRU too, but I really hope not.

For the stores that are closing, deals have sucked because as far as I know they were planning to transfer inventory to stores that were staying open rather than selling it off.

We have this stroller! I wanted an umbrella stroller that would be easy for travel- it worked perfectly. It's cool because it can face you in addition to the front. It's not the most attractive lol but I highly recommend it for an umbrella stroller.

Wishilivedinflorida · March 2018

@adirat Our BRU is closing, and the sales are “UP TO 40%.” Which means most everything is only still 10% off, which isn’t a deal and brings most items closer to amazon pricing. Our TRU is still open and has a baby inventory section, so I suspect extra inventory will be sent there as @DanyTargaryen suggested. Also, everything is final sale, so you can’t return anything, even at a non-closing BRU or TRU, so I’m skipping it altogether. I am super bummed, though, because BRU has a lot of stuff our Target or Walmart doesn’t carry and I liked their line of Koala Kids clothes. And their registry rewards program basically got me a free convertible car seat. Looks like Amazon will be getting even more of my business now!

yosemite2018 · March 2018

Target has 15% off a lot of their Chicco products if you use your red card.

Lo9876 · March 2018

It's official - all United States TRUs and BRUs are liquidating and eventually closing. Hormonal mess that I am, I started weeping on the train to work while reading an article that mentioned that this generation will never know the "I don't want to grow up" jingle! Haha.

But keep an eye out at your local stores for closing dates and to grab up any good deals before they go. At least try to use gift cards that you already have before it's too late!

DanyTargaryen · March 2018

Gift Cards will be accepted for 30 days, but that does not mean specific locations might close sooner.

According to a USA Today article I read yesterday, as of right now, the BRU registries and online store are going to be kept open with the hopes that someone will buy the business and keep it going.

I really wanted to buy the same crib for this LO as we have for DS, but I was waiting to find out the sex before picking a color. I imagine I'm 7 weeks from my a/s so I'm just hoping they keep the website going for a couple months at least!

SkilledSailor · March 2018

In our city, only one of 5+ BRU/TRU is actually having a closing sale as of right now, and not even a good one. If you live in a big area, I'd try to find out if it has a sale going on before driving out to it.

EErin86 · March 2018

Walgreens has vitamins on sale! Some are buy one get one 1/2 off and some are buy one get one free
