Past Savvy Spotlight Standouts

Acer Aspire 1 Laptop

While most of our deals are geared toward little learners, our spotlight goes to Acer’s best-selling value laptop, the Aspire 1. At 33% off at the time of writing, this little workhorse is exactly the type of laptop a kid would appreciate as their first learning machine. It’s powerful enough to tackle homework and comes with a year of Microsoft 365 included, but it isn’t the best option for streaming or gaming laptops (whether that’s a pro or a con depends on you and your kiddo). Get it for as low as $199.99, or explore our roundup of the best Acer deals to find more great discounts on back-to-school tech.

Teamson Kids Water Fun Inflatable Pirate Ship

Today’s seaworthy spotlight goes to the Teamson Kids Water Fun Inflatable Pirate Boat. Give your little adventurer a summer they’ll never forget with just $96.98 at Walmart. This all-in-one play center features an inflatable helm, a detachable anchor for anytime snack pillaging, and a working water cannon for swashbuckling naval warfare right from your backyard. With its bright colors and engaging theme, it’s sure to be a hit for any household.

Mac Sports All Terrain Beach Wagon

Today’s sand-conquering spotlight goes to Mac Sports’ specialized All-Terrain Beach Wagon. It might look a little silly with its chunky wheels, but you’ll have the last laugh when your wagon-less rival parents see how this toddler tank handles rough terrain. The large wheels actually handle better on rough surfaces like sand, rocks, and grass, and with a 150-pound capacity and an included side table, you’ll have plenty of room for up to two kids and a snack setup to keep any beach baby as happy as a clam. Pick one up today for $149.99 and get ready to roll out to your favorite sandy, sun-kissed shore.

Baby Jogger Summit X3 Jogging Stroller

In this feature, we’re taking a look at the Baby Jogger’s Summit X3 Jogging Stroller. This top-rated jogging stroller is perfect for active parents who want to stay fit while spending time with their little daredevils. With its all-wheel suspension, and one-hand, easy-fold design, it’s ideal for both city streets and rugged trails. Snap up this $550 piece of art for just $378.99 for a limited time.

Newton Baby Breathable Crib Mattress

In this feature, we're highlighting the Newton Baby Breathable Crib Mattress available from Nordstrom. The Newton Original fits all standard-size cribs and provides peace of mind with a breathable design and 90% air core, ensuring your baby can breathe easily even if they roll over onto their stomach. The mattress is 100% washable (even the core) and recyclable, making it easy to clean while being eco-friendly. It's an investment at just under $300, but it’s one of the safest choices for newborns and grows with them through toddlerhood.
