A big thanks to TotBargainer Amy for sharing a great deal! The Emma pattern of the Britax Marathon Click & Safe Convertible car seat is originally $300, but being closed out at diapers.com for just $199- 33% off, with free shipping! If pink isn’t your thing, there’s quite a few others on closeout, see the whole Britax lineup here!
BabyBargain’s first animal sound was the “ooo ooo eee eee” apparently emitted by the ubiquitous Fisher-Price rainforest monkey that appears on so many of our baby items. Somehow, this prolific monkey doesn’t annoy me- which I assume is because he is just so darn cute. Had I seen his waterfall monkey habitat sooner, I most certainly would have added it to our nighttime soothing repertoire. As it is, I may stash one away in case the need arises- Sears has the Peek-A-Boo waterfall soother on sale for 52% off, just $19.99 from the original $42. Even Amazon is still selling it for $36! It attaches right to the inside of the crib and has received a bunch of excellent reviews. Your sleepless nights may be numbered!
Raising a baby Wildcat? Wolverine? Badger? Keep baby safe and display your hometown pride with a custom-covered Britax Marathon carseat. It’s just one more reason parents are notoriously crazy about their Britax car seats. There’s obviously something there! Don’t throw your cost considerations out the window, however, because you can pick up the Marathon in one of 29 different school colors for $80 off, just $250 with free shipping!
Sorry guys, I had to wait for the Amazon Lightning deal to post! I know how much you all love Sophie, so be quick and buy her for $13.99, the lowest I have ever seen her priced! That’s almost 40% off retail! Free shipping on orders over $25, of course, so get a spare or donate one to Toys for Tots. This price is only until they sell out, so get it while the gettin’s good! Oh, and make sure you click on the “View Gold Box Offer” button to get this price. Happy teething!
So BabyBargain counted to 11 the other day (totally out of the blue) and it was about all I could do to contain myself from shouting it from my roof. As it was, I kept peppering it into random conversations. Like when our neighbor said, “oh, BabyBargain must love the holiday decorations!” And I replied, “Yes! And did you know he counts to 11!” I’ve had these two highly-recommended ABC and 123 Brainy Baby DVDs in my Amazon cart for God-only-knows how long and finally got a message that their price had dropped- by 70%! Instead of the original $20, they are each on sale for just $5.49 and $5.99 respectively. Plus you can get a year’s subscription to one of three magazines for just $1 when you buy a DVD from Amazon- two gifts in one! And did you know BabyBargain counts to 11? 
So BabyBargain was not a great sleeper when he was younger. And by “not great” I mean “horrific”. Extreme exhaustion can drive parents to do a bunch of crazy things, including throwing money at just about anyone that promises a “sleep solution”. Books, videos, CDs, lotions, potions, notions… did I mention the exhaustion drove me to rhyme? Judging by the reviews on Amazon, we should definitely have started with these. The Cloud b constellation night light projects a full night sky on baby’s ceiling-685 Amazon reviewers can’t be wrong with an average 4.5 star rating! The ladybug design is 37% off, the sea turtle 35% off, and the regular ol’ turtle 33% off, all right around $20! If you’ve got a rough sleeper too, go for the double- the Cloud b Sleep Sheep gets equally amazing reviews on the soothing sounds it plays. And it’s a whopping 41% off, just $16.65! Get ‘em both and get free shipping…and a strong chance of more sleep!
There’s so many great bargains this weekend I have to throw just one more in! If you’re in the market for a video monitor, be sure to check out the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor for 40% off!
More of my favorite things on sale! Amazon has started their Black Friday sales early (check out the roster here) but my personal favorite is the Candela Tooli set. The individual lights just plop right into their base to charge and they’re the perfect amount of light for a nightlight, take-to-the-potty light, take-to-the-refrigerator-for-ice-cream light, whatever! And they’re 33% off, just $29.99 and ship free. Perfect!
My self-control goes right out the window when bargain books are involved. Things that I’d think twice about at list price at the bookstore (or even walk right away!) make me wonder now if the secret to a more fulfilling life lies just past that heavily discounted price tag. There must be something to be learned for $5, right? My logic has yet to fail me, and that is why I am hooked with a capital H. Take this potty training book for example, just $5.38 from $12.95! There’s Jenny McCarthy’s book, Louder than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism- just $4.48 from $23.95! Or Dr. Laura’s In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms, just $4.48 from $25.99! There’s a little something for everyone in the Parenting & Family Barnes & Noble Bargain Books section, check it out!
So it’s a sound monitor, a video monitor (day and night!), and you can stream it to the internet (with the optional kit, that’s 34% off too!). I can think of about a bagillion applications for this puppy. Nanny cam, kitty cam, home security, oh, baby monitor? You could even use it to share baby’s special moments with out of town relatives! And it’s 41% off the original $150, just $88 with free Amazon shipping!
This is an amazing bargain, especially for our Arizona and California TotBargainers! Pools are a way of life in those warmer parts, and it seems like there are never too many safety measures that can be put in place to protect the little ones. The Aqua Alert safety band attaches to the child and emits a 110 decibel alarm when it gets wet, hopefully leading to early detection of children in trouble in the water. It’s 74% off at Amazon right now, just $7.71 and eligible for free shipping on orders over $25- it’s easy to pick up one for each child at that price!
I just love Amazon’s $5 magazines! Get a whole year of Parenting the Early Years for just $5, no shipping, just $5! At that price, even if you only get one helpful tidbit out of each issue it’s still worth it. And it’s 88% off the cover price. Sheesh. There’s a few other $5 magazine deals going on right now, including one for the older Parenting magazine, that you can also check out here! (They’ll show up for $5 when you add them to your cart!) Happy Reading!
Our more observant TotBargainers may have already noticed the tiny top link in our Links section- the one to the Baby Earth Gaga deal. If you haven’t already checked it out, it’s a must-see. I literally just watched the price fall cent by cent on this Britax Decathalon Convertible car seat from it’s retail of $295 all the way down to $167 before it sold out. Every hour from 9-5 M-F there’s a new Gaga deal, and as the hour progresses the price drops- possibly down to $0 if no one else is watching! It’s addictive, but a great way to pick up some good deals!
PS- Sorry so late today, BabyBargain was up late last night!!
We TotBargainers understand that little tikes need a lot of stuff. There’s no reason to pay full price! Mama loves a good deal and loves to share! Most of my favorite finds are 50+% off. Everyday I’ll find a new bargain to share with you. Don’t forget to act quickly if you see something you like, the best deals sometimes sell out in hours! Happy bargain hunting, and thanks for stopping by!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do you find these bargains?
A: I’m a little bit of a bargain-hunting junkie. This nicely transitions with motherhood! I go to websites I know and trust and rifle through their clearance sections. It’s pretty simple, actually!
Q: What do you consider a good bargain?
A: Quality first. You’ll get more features and better quality with a little hunting! A low price does not a bargain make. Did you know that baby gear has seasons? Will baby think his brown-and-lime-green pack-n-play was so last winter? No. But you saved 65% on something brand new and top quality. Sometimes stores are just clearing their inventory and all you need to do is be in the right place at the right time. I’ll help you do it!
Q: Do you find the bargains yourself?
A: Yep, see above. Sometimes PapaBargain helps!
Q: I have a hard time passing up a good deal. I hate that your website exists.
A: Thanks?? Ironically, this is why the site exists! Sometimes I see a bargain and think, I can’t use this, but someone else really should get this deal. I love to share them. It’s also a GREAT way to donate to charity. There are plenty of needy mamas, papas and children who could benefit from your lack of restraint!
Q: I’m leery about shopping online, can I find this bargain in a store?
A: First, welcome to the 21st century! Second, probably not. The beauty of shopping online is that you can easily compare prices. Finding bargains like these in a store would take lots and lots of looking and you’d probably wind up empty-handed. There are plenty of ways you can protect yourself online: using a secure connection, a non-public computer, even a virtual credit card. Be green and shop from your screen! As an added bonus, you won’t have to pack up the kiddies.
Q: I really appreciate you doing this and want your website to stay around. How can I help?
A: We’re able to stick around because you use our links to shop. We are extremely appreciative of all of our visitors and hope we’re saving you LOTS of money.
Q: When do you post the bargain deal every day? Can you make it sometime regular?
A: I try to post in the early morning hours every day. I’m a Mama, nothing is on time! Follow me on Twitter for regular updates and the occasional extra-special deal!
Q: I really need a deal on a stroller (pack-n-play, diaper bag, etc). Can you help me?
A: I’ll try! Send your request to mama@totbargains.com.
Q: Do companies pay you to write about their products?
A: Every bargain I write about is chosen by me, and all the comments I make about them are my own opinions, based on products I have purchased myself. The only compensation we receive is that generated through some of our links to these products, those to retailers we have an affiliate relationship with. This basically means that if you click through our link and end up making a purchase, we are paid a small commission on the sale. Ultimately, I hold true to my principles of quality and value and link to companies and products I like. And I’m an honest Mama who doesn’t want to lead you astray!
