Amazon Prime Day is July 11 & 12 this year, and we've rounded up our favorite items at Amazon's biggest sale of the year that parents and kids adore.

Every year, the Amazon Prime Day sale has some of the best deals and lowest prices of the year. And as parents, we're most excited about the deals and steals on the baby gear, toys, and more that we happily pay full price for the rest of the year.

However, it's easy to get swept away by big discounts. So this year, I've done a ton of research and have been asking friends and coworkers to determine which of the sale items are really worth the money. These are huge brands, beloved products, toys, and home hacks that make parenting easier. And during Amazon Prime Days, you'll save a fortune on them.

While we can't know everything that will be on sale yet, here are the early announced deals we're tracking... come back Tuesday to see what we recommend that's newly on sale!

For more favorite products we have tested and love, check out our recommendations for the best backyard toys, coolest pool floats for kids, and very best beach gear for families.
