I need convertible car seats for the twins. We are looking at the Graco Milestone, and the Cosco Scenera Next. It all comes down to the size of the seat. I am not sure which way to go.
For W, we are looking at the Graco Nautilus, which is the harness booster, high back booster, and booster all in one.
I also want a smaller stroller now that they will be out of the car seats, so a Joovy Caboose ultralight in Citron with the optional seat.
And then i have a $25 gift card so something for me. Unless i feel guilty about buying a new stroller and just put it towards that.

I'm really only looking for a double stroller. I'd like a sit and stand one since DS1 will still sometimes ask to be put in the stroller when we go on longer walks.

I am toying with picking up an Amazon dot or two to use as a sound machine/ music / audio book player in the kids room. We would turn off the voice control and just use our phones to control the device. Otherwise we do not need any more stuff we will have to pack.

starbuck I have a Cosco scerna next in MH's car and I don't like it. It's fine for the few times we take his car but I'd never buy another one. They do advertise that you can fit 3 of them in the back seat though, so if that's your main concern it should work.

I'll search out a few more options. Ya we were thinking about 3 in the middle row but we could also move W to the third row. So it's not urgent.

It's a pain in the ass to buckle and tighten the straps. You can tell it's cheaply made, if that makes sense. The straps kept getting uneven and I couldn't fix it. MH normally had to try and get them even.

I got such great deals last year on Prime Day. This year I think all we really need is a convertible car seat for D (she's still in the infant carrier seat for now). I might look at some fun outdoor stuff for the kids too, like a little playhouse or something. Maybe some outdoor furniture, especially chairs. I feel like we never have enough of them when we entertain.

Diono had good sales last year for convertibles, so I suspect they will again. We have 2 and love how narrow and easy they are to get into.
I don't know if I need anything, guess it depends on what pops up:)

Is this where I confess I have no idea how prime day works? Like, do I have to have a prime membership in order to take advantage of these deals?
I also had to look up the day. Thought it was in august.
I really need a convertible car seat.

How does one find the prime deals? I think I'm going to sign up for prime today so I'm a newb. I use the app, but basically, from the Amazon home page, select "Today's Deals" from the drop down and then click "upcoming". You can look through all the deals that are upcoming in the next 24 hours, if you find something you're interested in you can click "watch this deal" and you'll be notified when it goes live. You can sort by department as well, so you aren't just looking through thousands of random items. waitwhat , you need a Prime membership to get the Prime Day deals. ETA to add that you can't see the prices until the item goes live, so you'll want to make sure you're watching anything you're interested in.

I haven't looked thru the upcoming deals yet. Next nap, maybe.
W is moving up to a twin bed in the new house and he says he wants Lightning McQueen bedding. So i guess i have to see if that is on sale too...

I went through the list a bit this morning and watched a few things. I don't have anything particular that I'm looking for but I'll be checking it out throughout the day.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I need a new knife set. And probably a digital scale. Oh, and maybe a fire pit for the backyard.

And a trifle bowl, and an owl trivet, and an apron and some outdoor globe lights and some dish towels and one of those garden hoses that doesn't kink.

It's taking all of my will power to not watch and probably buy all of the throw blanket deals. MH would murder me if I bought anymore throw blankets.

There's like a 97% chance that by the time Prime Day is over I'll be the proud owner of a fondue set.
