When it comes to one of the biggest sale events of the year, shopping ahead is a smart move.
July Prime Day is nearly here and Amazon has opened the gates to early deals. While Prime Day takes place on July 8-11, all manner of items are already on sale. It's a good idea to shop ahead of time, since items may sell out during the event. Only Prime members have access to these deals, but don't stress if you aren't one—sign up for a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial, and you're good to go.
We scoured Amazon to bring you the best Early Prime Day deals for the whole family, including the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor, which our parent tester gave the stamp of approval.
The Nanit Pro is one of the most coveted baby monitors on the market, and for good reason. With 1080p HD video, two-way audio, a breathing monitor and cry detection, Nanit sends you real-time notifications and sleep insights via app. What's more, the app offers nature sounds, white noise, and lullabies to help your baby drift off. For more insights, see our in-depth Nanit Pro camera review. It's available with a floor stand or wall mount (both are on sale!).
