Black Friday baby car seat deals
While we would normally recommend buying a car seat in person from a retailer that offers a car seat fitting service, lockdown restrictions in the UK may mean these are either not happening or severely limited.
If this is the case, make sure you check out our car seat fitting guide, which has advice and videos to help ensure your baby car seat or child car seat is correctly installed.
Cybex Aton 5 – was £150, now £89 (41% off)
We like: Quick and easy installation
We don’t like: You need to remember to pull out the side-impact protector on the seat
The Cybex Aton 5 has been around for a while, but it’s a popular seat, and you’ll often find it bundled together with other pushchairs to create a travel system. We’ve spotted this seat for £120, although the claimed RRP is £150. Either way, at £89 that’s a decent deal.

Silver Cross Dream iSize + Isofix base – was £395, now £300 (24% off)
We like: Fantastic crash test results, comfy seat
We don’t like: Not much – but the seat cover is a tricky to remove for washing
The Silver Cross Dream is an infant carrier, and when it launched in June 2019 it was the company’s first i-Size-approved seat. You can use it with your newborn until he or she reaches 85cm, which is approximately 15 months. It can also be added to many Silver Cross pushchair models to create a travel system.

Maxi Cosi Pebble Pro – was £199, now £159.20 (20% off)
We like: Safety ratings in a frontal impact
We don’t like: Only lasts until your child is 75cm tall
The Pebble Pro from Maxi Cosi is a very popular product and a regularly visited review on the Which? site. It can either be used with the 3wayFix base, FamilyFix One i-Size base or belted straight into your car, and it’s approved for use with babies from 45cm to 75cm (approximately birth to 12 months).

Black Friday pushchair deals
You’ll find all manner of buggies on the market these days, from city three-wheelers to sturdy all-terrain pushchairs, and at a range of prices.
Whichever option you choose, make sure you read our reviews to check the pushchair deal we’ve found provides a buggy with all the features you need.
Cosatto Woosh XL – was £279.95, now £199.95 (29% off)
We like: Compact fold
We don’t like: Lacks adjustable handle
The distinctive patterns of a Cosatto pushchair mean kids and parents will really stand out when they’re out and about. The Woosh XL is a travel system-compatible lightweight buggy to which you can attach a car seat or carrycot. It’s suitable for kids weighing up to 25kg, which is pretty hefty – hopefully you’ll get a lot of use out of it if you decide to go for this deal.

Silver Cross Reflex – was £275, now £220 (20% off)
We like: Comfortable seat with newborn head-hugger cushion
We don’t like: Seat isn’t reversible so is world-facing only
The Silver Cross Reflex is a feature-filled stroller pushchair that you can use from birth, as the seat reclines to a nearly flat position. It’s travel system-compatible with the Silver Cross Dream or Simplicity infant carriers. It’s currently on offer on the Silver Cross website with 20% off (as are many of its models) but is it a good pushchair to pick?

iCandy Orange – was £875, now £600 (31% off)
We like: Option to convert from single to double pushchair
We don’t like: Bulkiness and weight
The iCandy Orange has been around for a while, but it’s a constant favourite with growing families, as it’s a convertible single-to-double pushchair. It also has an integrated ride-on board, so your toddler can stand in front of the handlebar while you push. If the Orange doesn’t float your boat, iCandy also has deals on some of its other pushchairs, including the Peach as a bundle with a free car seat.

Black Friday travel system bundle deals
We normally recommend that you buy your car seat separately from your pushchair, rather than purchasing them in a bundle. This is because car seats included in some travel system bundles aren’t always the safest ones out there. However, we’ve picked out some pushchair bundle deals featuring car seats that also do well in our crash testing.
Cosatto Giggle 3 bundle – was £899.95, now £599.95 (33% off)
We like: Smooth ride
We don’t like: Bulky when folded
The Giggle 3 is a three- or four-wheel travel system-compatible buggy that normally comes with a carrycot included as standard and would typically be available for around £500. Cosatto loves a bundle, and this Black Friday the brand has included the Giggle 3 in one dubbed the ‘Whole 9 Yards bundle’. This contains the Giggle 3 pushchair and carrycot, but also includes a Cosatto Hold car seat and Isofix base, car seat adaptors, footmuff and a changing bag. So you’re effectively getting the extras for £100, when they’d probably come to around £400 if bought separately.

Mamas & Papas Flip XT3 bundle – was £1,241, now £741 (40% off)
We like: One-handed fold and recline
We don’t like: Jerky hood
The Mamas & Papas Flip XT is now on its third version, and we tested it in May last year. It’s got a host of features including a one-handed fold, nearly flat seat position and peek-a-boo window in the (albeit jerky) hood with magnetic window cover. This travel system bundle also gets you a carrycot, Cybex Aton 5 car seat and Isofix base, footmuff, car seat adaptors and a cup holder. M&P claims this bundle is worth more than £1,200, and we reckon that’s not far off.

Cybex Priam travel system bundle – was £1,189.90, now £799 (33% off)
We like: All-wheel suspension and padded seat
We don’t like: Time-consuming to set up pushchair after purchase
It’s a bit fiddly to put the Cybex Priam together, but once done it’s a good travel system pushchair if your budget will stretch that far. In this bundle, you get the chassis, seat and carrycot, as well as the Priam Lite cot and the Cybex Cloud Z i-Size infant carrier. You can also add the Isofix car seat base to the bundle and that will take it to £965.

Black Friday baby monitors deals
There’s no point buying a baby monitor if it doesn’t cover the whole range of your house and garden, and poor sound or picture quality can be a nightmare on mediocre models. Our baby monitor reviews separate the best from the rest.
Below are some good deals on baby monitors – click the links to find out whether they’re suitable for you.
Motorola MBP36S Digital Video – was £139.99, now £59.99 (57% off)
We like: Excellent signal coverage
We don’t like: Baby unit is mains powered only
The Motorola MBP35S is a normally quite pricey baby monitor, so more than 50% off is good to see. There are a couple of little niggles with it, which you can read more about in our review.
