Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shopping Tips
When Can I Shop the Sale?
The sale is broken into access tiers based on how much you spend at Nordstrom and if you have the Nordstrom credit card. Each level of access opens at midnight ET (9 p.m. PT the night before if you’re on the West Coast). The sale ends on August 9th, so it is definitely a long one.
- Icons: July 14–17
- Ambassadors: July 15–17
- Influencers (credit card holders): July 16–17
- Everyone (including non-card members): July 18–August 9
My #1 tip – Shop EARLY, especially if you are hoping to get one of the items I mentioned below. And sadly, that means shopping at midnight or earlier if you are on the West Coast like me.
Tip #2 – Be sure to add your favorites to your wishlist because this will be the best way to monitor restocks. Not every product will restock (the Doona and Butterfly never came back), but some will.
Items that will be the first to SELL OUT!
There are always items in the sale that are very popular and often don’t make it to when the sale opens for the general public. Last year, these items were the Doona, Vista V3, Nuna PIPA Aire RX, and Bugaboo Butterfly 2. If you really want one of the items below, I recommend planning to shop early and possibly getting the Nordstrom credit card to receive early access.
I think rotating seats will be hot this year, like the new Nuna REVV Maxx (only for cardholders) and the Cybex Callisto G Select (this one does not include the canopy, but it can be added). The Nuna RAVA Next is usually a top seller (I have always bought mine during this sale), but it typically goes on sale at other retailers at the end of July/early August if this timing or color is not right.

Nordstrom Anniversary Stroller Deals
I was not joking when I said I have tried almost every stroller in the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! Some of the sales are good, some okay, and some are not worth it. So with that, here are my favs!
Full Size & Single to Double Strollers
Silver Cross Breez Bundle - This is a great mid-size stroller option with a folding bassinet and Nuna/Cybex/Maxi-Cosi car seat adapters. Easy fold, newborn recline, good basket, and more. Watch my full review!
UPPAbaby Cruz V3 - One of my favorite full-size strollers! Newborn recline, tall seatback, big basket, GreenGuard Gold. Watch my review where I compare it to the Vista V3 (also on sale).
Cybex Balios S Lux - This might be the most underrated stroller in the sale. If you are looking for a full-size stroller that works with Nuna/Maxi-Cosi/Cybex car seat, big basket, good push, easy fold, expandable handlebar, this is a great option.
Nuna MIXX Next - The Nuna MIXX Next is a big stroller (like all strollers in this category), but it has one of the tallest handlebars on the market, a large basket, and is very easy to push. It is not my favorite stroller for the toddler years, but if you or your partner are very tall, it is a good option. Check out my review of the Nuna MIXX.
Cybex Gazelle S - One of my top recommendations for families wanting a single-to-double. It comes with car seat adapters, and the adapters to make it a double are built in. Check out my full review of the Gazelle S.
Thule Urban Glide 3 - This is one of the best jogging and all-terrain strollers. The quality is fantastic; it has a hand brake, good storage, and a great canopy. Check out my full review!

Travel Strollers
Silver Cross Nia Bundle - The first folding bassinet travel stroller, this stroller features a tall seat back, luxury materials, newborn recline, good basket, easy fold, carry strap, and includes the bumper bar, travel bag, and parent cup holder. Watch my full review!
Bugaboo Butterfly 2 - I think this stroller will sell out! While I wish this stroller had a newborn recline, if you do not need that, I think it is a great option. Good basket, upright seat, good canopy, peekaboo window, and more. Watch my full review!
Nuna TRVL LX - Amazing auto-fold and seamless compatibility with the Nuna PIPA car seat. This is more of a lightweight stroller over a travel stroller, but it is best for families who will be using a PIPA car seat and want something that works for occasional travel but also as an everyday stroller. Check out my review of the Nuna TRVL LX.
Joolz Aer 2 - This travel stroller is probably one of my top recommendations because it is lightweight at only 14.2 lbs, has a newborn recline, a parent-facing seat or bassinet accessory, a good basket, an easy, compact fold, a tall seatback, and more. I really wish it had a peekaboo window. Watch my full review!
Maxi-Cosi Oxford Cabin Travel Stroller - For the price, this one gives you a lot. Includes car seat adapter, bumper bar, cup holder, easy fold, good basket, good push, no newborn recline. Watch my review!
Cybex Libelle 2 - The fold on this stroller is unique and one of the smallest, weighing only 13 lbs. It also comes with car seat adapters and is on sale for $262. If you are looking for a quality travel stroller at a more affordable price point, this is a good option. It may not have the biggest basket or a peekaboo window, but it makes up for it with its small fold that will fit in almost all overhead bins!
Double Strollers & Wagons
Thule Chariot Lite - A bike trailer that can also be a double stroller.
Thule Urban Glide 3 Double - One of my favorite double strollers for families who need all-terrain or jogging capabilities. They also offer great infant accessories! Here is my review!
The WonderFold L4 - This is my favorite WonderFold wagon! Check out my review!
WonderFold W2 & W4 Luxe Pro Wagons - WonderFold wagons are a combination of a wagon in stroller form! I have the older version of the W4 wagon, and I love the updates they made with the LUXE Pro series.
Veer Cruiser City & XL Wagon Bundle - I love Veer wagons. They are more compact, easy to clean, and are really good quality wagons with lots of accessories. Check out my review!
Nordstrom Anniversary Car Seat Deals
One of the best times to shop high-end car seats is this sale! Top sellers always include Nuna, Doona, and the WAYB Pico, but I am excited to see seats from other brands like this Britax Poplar S for $300. Here is the link to all of the car seats on sale. Looking for a convertible or infant car seat? Here are my thoughts on some of the top picks in the sale.
Callisto G 360 Select - This might be one of my favorite picks from the sale this year. Priced at $487, you get one of the most popular rotating car seats on the market. It is very easy to install, no added FRs, same install for forward facing/rear facing, converts up to a booster and 120 lbs. One thing people love about this seat is the canopy (one of my 2-year-old's favorite features), but for this one, you will need to purchase the canopy separately (currently only in black).
Nuna RAVA Next - I got my oldest the Nuna RAVA from this sale in 2020, and we are still using it, 6 years later. It really is a great car seat. Is it worth the $430 sale price? Maybe! Last year it was $510 in this sale. It is a really good car seat if you can afford it. It is easy to install, has a 50 lbs rear-facing limit, no FRs, and is a good seat for tall drivers because it is pretty narrow front to back rear-facing. But I have also learned there are other great seats on the market at an affordable price point (even if you want low-tox, which is what the RAVA is known for).
Doona - This car seat is very popular, and I get asked about it almost every day. For the right family, it can be a nice option, but remember it is a car seat, not a stroller. So, please still register or buy a stroller to use when you are out for longer periods. It is not recommended to keep babies in car seats for long periods. This price point is good compared to the new Doona X.
WAYB Pico - This is one of the most innovative car seats for travel because it is so lightweight at only 8 lbs and folds small enough to fit in a backpack. It is ideal for kids over the age of 2 (we started using it closer to age 3) and is very easy to adjust. It has breathable mesh and can be installed easily with a latch and a rear tether in a car. Check out my Travel Car Seat List Post!
Nuna PIPA Aire RX - The Nuna PIPA car seat is easy to use, FR-Free, lightweight, works with several different strollers, and has a great canopy. This seat NEVER goes on sale.
Cybex Cloud G - This seat may be heavy, but it can recline when not in the car, which is amazing for quick errands. It is easy to install, has no added FRs, and is very plush.
There are several other car seats from brands like Maxi-Cosi, UPPAbaby, Britax, and more.
