The biggest shopping event of the year is officially upon us: Black Friday. A huge number of retailers, including Apple, Shark, KitchenAid, LG and Nintendo, are taking part in the bargain bonanza with TVs, laptops, gaming, tech, mattresses and much more all receiving a price-slashing.
Bucking the trend of the one-day-long sale, many retailers got in on the action early, blowing Black Friday – which traditionally lands on the last Friday of November – up to huge proportions.
Whether you have a baby on the way, a grandchild you’d love to buy a gift for this Christmas, or are after a new and improved pram, cot or highchair, there’s sure to be something you can bag a bargain on during the Black Friday weekend.
Mamas and Papas is the perfect place to do so, with its deals including up to 50 per cent off on all baby essentials. We’ve spotted discounts on Joie, Maxi Cosi, Tommee Tippee and other big-name brands.
We’ve rounded up our favourite sale finds below, and you can also keep reading for everything you need to know about this year’s shopping extravaganza.
The best early Mamas and Papas Black Friday 2022 deals to shop now
Joie nitro stroller: Was £95, now £69.99, Mamasandpapas.com
The Joie nitro stroller is a fan favourite, and it’s only going to become more tempting now that it has had a price cut of £25. With a lie-back seat, you can use it from day one, while the materials it’s made with are designed to last for a really long time. It has five different recline positions to make sure your baby is comfortable, no matter what time it is, and is light enough to be folded down and stored in the boot of the car or a cupboard with ease.
Mamas and Papas playmat & gym lights and sound rainbow: Was £89, now £71.20, Mamasandpapas.com
This pastel-coloured playmat and gym doesn’t just look cute but will keep baby entertained too. The fluffy playmat provides a cosy little nest for your youngster while they stare at the little cloud, bunny, owls and cat bungling above them. It also has light and music features, meaning there’s plenty to discover.
Tommee Tippee complete feeding kit, black: Was £172, now £60, Mamasandpapas.com
Tommee Tippee sets new parents up with this one simple set that contains everything you’ll need for feeding baby. The brand claims the teat on this bottles is as close to the real deal as it gets, making it an easy swap from breastfeeding for most. The steam steriliser can take on six bottles at a time, and kills 99.9 per cent of germs that may otherwise linger in the bottle. Eight bottles are included, as well as storage pots, insulated bottle bags and a food and bottle warmer. And all that for just £60.
Juice highchair: Was £119, now £99, Mamasandpapas.com
Not all highchairs are made equal, and our IndyBest testers know this all too well. Testing out the best ones to buy, the juice highchair was named best for comfort in our highchair guide, and who doesn’t want their baby to be comfy, after all? In a sleek grey colourway, our tester loved the look of this find, and added that it was easy to move around too. Currently sitting at 16 per cent off, if you’re looking for a high saving, this isn’t a bad one to pick.
Joie i-spin 360 i-size car seat: Was £340, now £249.95, Mamasandpapas.com
Car seats are another essential needed for kids of all ages, and this £90 saving has sweetened the deal. A very similar option was included in our best car seat guide, although sadly, that one isn’t included in the sale. For now, this one will have to suffice, but claiming to take care of your little one from birth to four years of age, we don’t think that sounds like a hardship.
Elf all-in-one and hat: Was £29, now £21.75, Mamasandpapas.com
Kicking off with the cutest thing we could find, this elf suit is certainly festive. If looking for a Christmas gift or you’re dutifully dressing your little one up for the annual Christmas card, then look no further. A Santa suit, reindeer trousers and fairy costume have also made their way into the bargain bucket, but this one is our favourite.
Nuna triv pushchair: Was £600, now £480, Mamasandpapas.com
Named best premium compact pram in our pushchair guide, the Nuna triv pram impressed our tester so much that they rated it 4/5 stars. “Nuna is the high-end brand favoured by celebs, including the Kardashians,” they shared. “The pram feels as smooth and easy to push as any we’ve tried (and trust us, we’ve tried a lot). All-wheel suspension on the puncture-proof tires and suspension in the actual seat all make for an effortless glide.” So, with a saving of £120, it’s hard to say no to this one.
Bug 3-in-1 floor and booster seat with activity tray: Was £75, now £65, Mamasandpapas.com
We loved this booster seat so much we gave it a standalone review. “From the get-go this felt like an intuitive product; the tray instinctively clips in and is removed again by a naturally positioned pull-tab underneath, meanwhile the play tray simply sits on top using two suction tabs to keep it in place,” shared our tester. Adding in that “the design of the bug is nothing short of genius”. So, with a saving of just over 10 per cent, we think this will be on many people’s wish list.
Essentials changing mat: Was £19, now £9.50, Mamasandpapas.com
If you already have the big ticket items, it can be nice to just have a freshen-up of the little things, and this super sweet changing mat may be just the ticket. With giraffes, zebra, lions and more printed on top, it’s certainly cute and now comes in at under £10.
Melfi cotbed with cot top hanger: Was £539, now £509, Mamasandpapas.com
Your baby moving into their first bed can be a daunting time, so, finding a cot that can simply extend is sure to make things easier for everyone involved. Included in our guide to the best kid’s bed, our tester raved about the trendy design, deep blue tone and how easy it was to transform from a cot to a more grown-up bed. Currently on sale with a saving of £30, a little can go a long way when they grow at such rapid rates.
Capella baby bouncer and cradle: Was £69, now £55.20, Mamasandpapas.com
Named best for stimulating senses in our baby bouncer guide, the Capella baby bouncer and cradle was rated an impressive 4/5 stars. Our tester shared that “with four different relaxing melodies and a gentle vibrate motion, we loved this bouncer for when we wanted to calm down our baby before bed with some quiet playtime. The melodies aren’t in any way annoying (you’ll not be needing to take any batteries out!) and there’s some rattle toys attached to the removable toy bar, too.” And with 20 per cent off, this just got even sweeter.
What is Black Friday?
If this is set to be your first Black Friday shopping experience, you’re in for a fantastic treat. What began in the US as a one-day sale is now a global phenomenon, with discounts so big you can save hundreds of pounds.
Every year, more and more retailers take part. Apple, Dyson, Shark, KitchenAid, LG, Nintendo, Asos and Sky lead the savings, but last year Gymshark, Lululemon, Pandora, Hotel Chocolat, Ugg, Philips and Dr Martens joined the roster.
To find out who will be taking part this year, read our extensive guide to the brands and retailers that offered huge discounts last year.
When did the Mamas and Papas Black Friday 2022 sale start?
Instead of waiting for the official Black Friday date, Mamas and Papas went right ahead and kicked off deals over a week early, on 16 November. The shop says prices on a huge number of products have been reduced by up to 50 per cent on pushchairs, highchairs, cots, beds and much more.
When does Black Friday end at Mamas and Papas?
The retailer hasn’t yet confirmed when its Black Friday sale will end, but we’d imagine it to be on Cyber Monday, which lands on 28 November.
