Plus: Our top picks that are a real deal for active kids

Do you feel like Amazon’s Prime Day is Black Friday’s summer cousin? Or is it just me 🤷🏽♀️ While some of you may be basking on a beach (or dreaming of past escapades), Prime Day is here, and it’s a great chance to get your hands on awesome deals that keep your kids active and happy! Check out our top picks for active kids

However, I've learned to be cautious about Prime Day. After years of Prime Day adventures (and a few buyer's remorse moments 😅), I’ve become a bit savvier. Trust me, not every “amazing deal” is as amazing as it seems. That’s why I’m sharing a few websites that are fantastic deal trackers that you should use before you click “buy.”
CamelCamelCamel This site shows you the price history of Amazon items. No more wondering if that “deal” is actually a steal!
Slickdeals A community-driven deal-sharing platform. If there’s a hot deal, chances are it’ll show up here.
The Krazy Coupon Lady Don’t let the name fool you - this site is a goldmine for all kinds of deals, including Amazon!
