BabyUniverse.com Random bargains

[BayAreaMom]

BabyUniverse.com has some really good deals (babycheapskate.com posted that their parent co, the same as KBToys, filed for bankruptcy). These deals are a lot like the babycenter store closeout deals- some items are insanely discounted but they are pretty random and hard to find on the site.

If you find anything interesting, please post it here!

Here are some things I found:
BOB diaper bag ($4.99-all colors!)

There are a bunch of random safety things on sale, like an underarm thermometer for $1.99.

Does anyone know of any free shipping codes?

Bumbo is OOS already! Bummer I wanted that big time!

I have to say, I am super confused by this site right now. I had already looked through the toy section, then I did a search for "doll". TONS of stuff came up that I hadn't seen. So I agree with OP that it is very disorganized (similar to BabyCenter) and hard to search. There are some good prices though, so I suggest searching for brands, items you might be interested in. I posted a double and triple stroller that seem to be good prices. There was also a travel system for $40 but shipping is coming up as $90 something so that's crazy!

I was able to get some very inexpensive things yesterday but it took some digging.
Baby Einstein Chunky Board Book - Birds $.50
Sara Holliday's Stroller Workout for Moms DVD $2.99
Diaper Duck Dispenser $1.99
Eddie Bauer Disposable Bag Dispenser $.50
Grow with Your Baby Bag $2.99
Umbrella Stroller Travel Bag $1.99
Baby Bath Turtles $6.99

The only way I came across the Baby Einstein book was to search Baby Einstein. Many items do not come up from the home page.

Dreamtimebaby.com and babyuniverse.com share the same website.
Additionally, they share some of the same stock and prices with etoys.com and kbtoys.com.

Try entering one toy - the tmx elmo - and you'll see the same price for it on babyuniverse.com and etoys.com. They share some toys, but not ALL toys.
However, it is not true for the reverse - etoys and kbtoys do NOT carry any baby items.


Keep this in mind when shopping to choose which website offers the better deal.

For example, babyuniverse.com offers a $10 off $75 code, but etoys offers a $5 off $40 code. Sometimes, one website offers a magazine rebate, the other doesn't. One offers a paypal discount, the other doesn't, etc. As they share similar toy inventories, weigh which website gives you the better value for your dollar.

There are also deals on Crayola (starting at 1.50) and Learning Resources Smart Snacks (starting at $10). They come up doing a brand search.
