I’ve always looked forward to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. In my pre-parenting days, it was a chance to save big on some of the more expensive clothing and beauty brands. Then, when I became pregnant, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale allowed me to grab some of the more luxe baby gear on my registry for a fraction of the price. And fortunately, for new moms-to-be, the sales have only gotten better since I was pregnant.
From now until August 4, you can shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and save hundreds on car seats and strollers from parent-loved brands like Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, Baby Jogger and more. If you’ve got all of your gear, you can take advantage of great prices on baby and toddler clothes. And, don't forget to grab something special for yourself as there are plenty of discounts on clothing and beauty items from brands like Kindred Bravely, MAC Cosmetics and more.
Ahead, I share the best of the best baby deals to shop during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Be sure to bookmark this page, as we'll continue updating our picks throughout the nearly three week-long sale.
The Nuna RAVA Convertible Car Seat rarely goes on sale, so it’s definitely a must-grab. Made of high quality material, parents say this is one of the coziest car seats, with some noting their children are visibly happier in this than other car seats they’ve tried. It’s also easy to install, and can be used from birth until your child is 65 pounds. You can also save 25% on the Nuna PIPA RX Car Seat, if you prefer an infant car seat. And if you want to shop around, you’ll be happy to hear that you can save up to 27% on select car seats from Maxi-Cosi.
Many What to Expect moms deemed Birkenstocks’ Arizona Big Buckle Sandals the only comfortable shoes to wear during pregnancy. And it’s easy to see why. They’re designed to contour and cushion your feet, so you’ll actually have more support. Yet they’re wide enough that they easily slide on to swollen feet.
Although it’s technically not part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, we’d be remiss if we didn’t highlight the deal on Hatch’s Noelle Jumpsuit. Made of a super soft and super stretchy modal fabric, the jumpsuit easily adjusts to your ever-changing body. Moms-to-be especially appreciate that it can be worn during pregnancy and afterwards, making for a great nursing-friendly outfit. And, because of the simple design, it can be worn for almost any occasion.
We’re not lying when we say you can operate the Bugaboo Fox 5 Complete Stroller with one hand. The handlebar height and seat position can all be adjusted, and the stroller can be folded while you simultaneously hold your baby. It’s made of high-quality materials, which is good since you can use it until your child is 4 years old. There’s also an extra-large sun canopy, complete with a peekaboo panel for your baby to observe the world around them.
Perfect to bring on planes or use every day, the Babyzen YOYO2 is a versatile stroller that can be used from birth. At 13 pounds it's one of the lighter strollers on the market. But despite its compact size, the basket can hold up to 11 pounds! Although the stroller has a strap for carrying, it also comes with a backpack for even easier carrying as well as storage.
You may not always need — or want — to carry a large diaper bag with you. For those instances where you just need your wallet, phone and maybe a snack, What to Expect moms highly recommend the Dagne Dover Ace Water Resistant Belt Bag. Though it's compact, the belt bag features four pockets that make it easier to keep your item organized. There's even a little slit in the back where you can slide your credit card and ID.
If you’re looking for a not-so-obvious diaper bag, parents highly recommend the Longchamp Le Pliage Expandable Tote. Made of a water-resistant nylon, the Longchamp tote is just as durable as any standard diaper bag. Bonus: You can also easily expand this style if you need more room. Just unzip the middle section to double the bag capacity.
You can never have too many maternity leggings, and Zella’s over-the-bump leggings are a popular pick among moms-to-be. The polyester and spandex blend gives these leggings plenty of stretch without becoming too loose. Plus, the moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cool and dries you quickly during the hotter days of pregnancy. And, again, since you can't have too many maternity leggings, you should also snag Beyond Yoga's Empire Waist Maternity Leggings ($64 $108) which are up to 40% off select styles.
Maxi-Cosi’s popular baby swing is a lightweight option with five different speeds for complete customization. It also plays 12 different melodies, each one guaranteed to calm and even entertain babies. And despite all the bells and whistles, it doesn’t take up a ton of floor space.
Speaking of mealtime, one thing all parents can appreciate is a one-pot meal. And the ever popular Le Creuset Dutch Oven makes it super easy to step up your soup, stew and casserole game without taking up too much time. Made in France, Le Creuset's Dutch ovens are famous for their incredible heat retention and non-stick material that makes cleanup easier. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, this splurge-worthy item is a steal at $270.
Another tool that makes meal prep easy: a set of pots and pans. And Viking’s 10-piece non-stick set is highly recommended by professional and home chefs alike. Customers rave about the even heat distribution throughout the sides and bottom of the pan, which makes for more efficient cooking. And despite the triple-layer nonstick coating, these pots and pans are dishwasher safe for super convenient cleaning.
Your baby will need a lot of clothes in their first year (and long after that!), which makes the deals on Nordstrom’s line of baby clothes all the more appealing. You can save up to 30% on bodysuits, shirts, pants and more from Pehr and Tucker and Tate! And if you’re about to have a toddler in the house, you might want to check out the equally impressive deals on Mini Boden and Nike.
Whether you need maternity bras or nursing bras, Kindred Bravely has you covered. What to Expect moms love this brand for its supportive and comfortable bras that are easy to adjust as your breasts change during pregnancy and postpartum. There are dozens of options to choose from, and you can snag them all for 20% off. While you’re browsing, you may want to snag some of Kindred Bravely’s other comfy clothes, including pajamas, dresses and leggings.
Summer isn’t over yet, and Veer Basecamp's tent is a way to keep your entire family safe from the sun. Despite the size, parents say the tent is surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to carry from the car to the beach. The setup and takedown is just as simple: Just pull two poles at the top or it to pop out, and push those same poles inward to fold up the sides and store in the carrying case.
