Here’s What Parents Should Actually Buy Before Memorial Day Deals End

I filled carts on four different sites while writing about these parent-friendly Memorial Day Sales...oops.

by Heather Braga BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Staff

I'm a Shopping editor (and mom to two toddlers) who covers a variety of topics, including helpful parenting/kids products, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses my path.

Facebook

Pinterest

1. ANuna Trvl Lightweight Stroller for 39% off that'll give you the confidence boost you need to get you and your mini-me ready and go out on an adventure for the day, now that the weather is finally cooperating. You'll be able to open and close this beauty with one hand (yes, really), and it has a self-guiding magnetic buckle that won't make strapping your babe into their seat an entire ordeal. You've GOT this!!!

Nordstrom

I have the Nuna Trvl Compact Dubl Stroller (a.k.a. the double version of the one that's on sale), and it has been a life-changing purchase for me.

Promising review: "I can’t express enough how amazing this stroller is! From boarding the plane to landing and opening up my stroller to sit my daughter down with so much ease was amazing. If you're looking for a travel stroller or a stroller you’ll be using on a regular basis, this is it!!!" —MayaMar

Get it from Nordstrom for$350 (originally $575) — shop all of the Nordstrom deals here.

2. A 28-pack of Duracell Optimum AA Batteriesfor 25% off because there is nothing worse than discovering your kid's go-to toy (you know, the one that actually holds their attention for more than a minute?) is d-e-a-d DEAD. Now that I'm thinking about it, you might want to add two sets of these to your cart. Better safe than sorry.

Amazon

Promising review: "After Christmas, we quickly realized we needed far more AA batteries than we expected for new toys, controllers, and household devices. These Duracell Optimum batteries were exactly what we needed, and the next-day shipping was a huge help. Performance has been excellent so far. They deliver strong, consistent power and last noticeably longer than standard batteries, especially in higher-drain items. The resealable packaging also keeps everything organized instead of cluttering a drawer. Reliable performance, fast delivery, and fewer battery swaps make these well worth it. I would buy these again without hesitation." —Patrick-Hartami

Get them from Amazon for $29.79(originally $40).

3. A sleeveless Hanna Andersson dress(with pockets!) for 50% off *plus* an extra 20% off at checkout (wowza!!!) you might want to consider adding to your cart in every style they've got because your daughter is going to love it so much she might demand to wear this and only this for the entire summer. Avoid that morning argument while you can, my friend.

Hanna Andersson

Enter the code "FUN20" at checkout for the extra 20% off!

Promising review: "Beautiful bright summer dress! Fun and colorful!" —Beth M

Get it from Hanna Andersson for $16.80 (originally $42; available in sizes 2—12 and 11 styles) —shop all of the Hanna Andersson deals here.

4. A Nanit monitor bundle with a floor stand or wall mountfor 24% off to help you keep a watchful eye on your babe while they sleep — you can also easily see stats on how long they've been asleep or if they're standing and not-so-patiently waiting for you to come scoop 'em up.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Both bundles include: the Nanit Pro Baby Monitor and a free trial of the app, and a choice between the floor or wall stand.

I switched to the Nanit monitoring system when my daughter was born in 2024 because the app has an incredible split-screen option that lets me watch both kiddos at once — it's been a game changer. It's super easy to set up, and once you've done so, there's nothing more to do but the occasional software update. The app itself is simple: it shows you a view of your kiddo's crib and notes how long they've been asleep, whether they're crying, or whether they're standing. The audio and picture are so clear (including the night mode), and the camera itself is unobtrusive to my kids' rooms' decor. I also love that even if I'm out (rarely), I can check in on my sleeping babies for some peace of mind.

Promising review: "Hands-down, the best baby camera I have used. I have ordered this twice for both my sons. I love how it has a light built-in and a sound machine, and it also tells you the degrees in their room. It looks aesthetically pleasing, and the app is also really easy to use. The yearly membership is pretty expensive, but I only purchased it for the first year and didn’t need it after, so it’s not completely necessary unless you want it. It’s just a great overall camera. I highly recommend it to all new parents." —Jessica Thomas

Get it from Amazon for $379 (originally $499.99; available in two bundles).

5. A Willow Go hands-free wearable breast pumpfor 25% off, you'll *absolutely* want to toss in your cart if you're pregnant and already have other kids at home to take care of — this will *hopefully* make it a tiny bit easier to continue chasing after them while pumping for a newborn (fingers crossed). But, in all seriousness, reviewers love that it gives them a bit more freedom to do other things while pumping, that it's relatively quiet, and that it's great for preventing overflow. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I used the willow go for my first child, and when I had my second, I was worried I would constantly be bending forward helping both children, and my milk would spill out of the top container. These new containers with the cover are a game changer. They never leak and I can complete many tasks while using these!" —Tifani

Get it from Amazon for $262.49(originally $349.99)

6. A leave-in conditioning spray for curly hair for 30% off that's free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates that you can count on to revive your mini-me's precious curls after a wild night of sleep. Do not underestimate toddler bed head, my friends.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. SoCozy is a small business!

Promising review: "You need this! My 2-year-old daughter has curly, frizzy hair. And I have tried sooo many leave-in conditioners to tame her hair. Nothing thus far has worked. But this stuff is amazing! Truly defines her curls without any hold or crunch. Soft, bouncy curls. The smell is quite strong, but it's pleasant. If you are sensitive to smells, you might want to prepare in advance. I will buy this again and again. So glad I found something that works for my toddler's curls." —mike

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (originally $9.99).

7. And a benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder for 30% off — a perfect choice if a daily everything shower is simply *not* in the cards for you (fellow mom here, it happens more than I'd like to admit). You can use this powder puff to absorb the oils on your third-day hair and add a little volume to your roots. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve tried a few dry shampoos, from the spray in a bottle to powder. And I’d have to say this one has been my favorite. My very first time using it, I didn’t know how much to put and ended up coating my hair by A LOT. It left my hair feeling very dry and straw-like. I almost returned and got a refund but decided to give it another chance. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Trust me. You only need a few dabs on your head and that’s it. You can see the extra volume almost instantly. This stuff works sooo well that I wake up on my third unwashed hair day and it looks better than the second day when I used the dry shampoo. And let’s not forget to mention how convenient and compact the whole thing is. It’s so nice to just pat it on your head with no mess." —Thuy

Get it from Amazon for $11.70 (originally $18).

8. An iconic toddler-sized Spice Girls graphic tee from Old Navy for 50% off, you'll wish it came in your size so you guys could twin while twirling around your room together singing, "Stop right now, thank you very much!" Pop some of these too cute rib-knit bike shorts (which are *also* 50% off) into your cart to complete the 'fit.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

I literally ordered three of these Spice Girls shirts — one for my daughter (pictured above) and one for each of my nieces. Wish I had done so while they were on sale! Oh well! Because while writing this article, I discovered these magical Disney shirts and my finger slipped and I bought one of each...the deals are *that* good.

Get it from Old Navy for $7.49 (originally $14.99; available in sizes 12M–24M, 2T–6T, and three styles)— shop all of the Old Navy deals here.

9. The newest Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus for 40% off so you can seamlessly pop on Moana 2 or stream Danny Go (Oh? Are your kids not* screaming "THE FLOOR IS LAVAAAA! at all times?) without a second of delay. It has a 4K picture, Dolby sound, and ~Wi-Fi 6~ to help with uninterrupted streaming, plus smart search so you can find a movie or TV show by actor, genre, or even quotes (which really comes in handy when trying to figure out what on earth your kids are trying to navigate you to put on). Just plug into your existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want at the push of a button.

Amazon

Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting a huge difference, but the Fire TV Stick 4K really impressed me. Setup took about 5 minutes, and everything just worked. Menus feel faster, apps open almost instantly, and streaming is smooth even during peak hours. The 4K picture quality is sharp, and the voice search is surprisingly helpful—I can just say 'action movies with car chases,' and it actually finds good options. The remote is simple, Alexa works well, and having all the apps in one place makes everything convenient. For the price, this feels like a real upgrade—easy to use, fast, and reliable." —Alan M

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (originally $49.99) — and shop all of the Amazon device deals here.

10. A Gap Kids Icon Denim Jacketfor a whopping 50% off they actually might think looks cool enough to wear when there's a chill in the air instead of fighting you tooth and nail (wouldn't that be a treat!?) Buy it now while it's on sale and put it away before Back to School season sneaks up on ya!

Gap

Promising review: "Nice quality and super comfortable. My daughter is picky about clothes but loves this jacket!" — Anonymous

Get it from Gap for $29 (originally $59.25; available in kids sizes 4–16 and three styles) — and shop all of the Gap deals here.

11. A Bunch O Balloonsfor 21% off (hurry — this is a lightning deal ⚡️) that'll help you get the most epic water balloon war your yard has ever seen started without a moment to waste. Attach directly to your hose, fill up 100 (!!!) water balloons in 60 seconds, and let the gaaaames begin!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I bought these for my son last year and, while there is most definitely a mess to clean up after, we had SO much fun! These balloons are also self-sealing, so you won't have to struggle to tie a bunch of wet balloons shut while under the pressure of kids demanding "MORE, MORE, MORE!" That alone is a win in my book!

Promising review: "Had these for my son's 6th summer birthday. The kids couldn't get enough of them, and they quickly filled. Had a few casualties, but that was expected. Would absolutely get them again!" —PKF

Get them from Amazon for $20.49 (originally $25.99).

12. A Stanley 40-ounce Quencher Tumbler for 25% off that you won't believe you waited this long to treat yourself to (but good for you because now it's on saaaaaale!) Fill it to the brim with water and fresh ice, and use it to motivate yourself to hydrate all day while doing your best to keep it away from that adorable gremlin you call your child.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

When I finally caved and got one of these in the 40-ounce size, I wondered why I waited so long! Yes, it's ridiculously large, but I only have to fill it up once before bed, and my water lasts me all day! It also stays cold and, honestly, just looks super cute on my desk. And, yes, kids (aged 4 and 2) both would much rather drink out of it instead of their age-appropriate cups and typically whine until I let them drink out of mine 🫠.

Promising review: "I was a Stanley skeptic. I couldn’t understand what the big deal was or why the internet was freaking out. I saw the video of the Stanley cup surviving the car fire (and I think the ice was still inside). So I tried it. I drink SO much more water now! I love decorating my Stanley with all the fun accessories and it holds a nice amount of water. It feels durable and of good quality. I’ve had my Stanley for a year now, and I’m even considering getting another so I can have one while the other is being washed. They are easy to clean as well because of the metal inside. I put ice in before I go to sleep it’s still cold in the morning. I love these cups and would recommend them to anyone looking to drink more water." —Carolyn

Get it from Amazon for $33.75+ (originally $45; sale price varies by color) — and shop all of theStanley deals here.

13. A Melissa & Doug Take-Along Railroad Tabletop Playsetfor 30% off (hurry — this is a lightning deal ⚡️), you'll pat yourself on the back for buying ahead of your upcoming family vacations — you can easily stow it in your trunk, then break it out when you arrive at your Airbnb as a surprise for your tyke. You won't have to suffer through hearing them painstakingly say "I'm booooored" because they'll be too busy playing with their new train set. 

Amazon

My kids have and love this train set! I didn't want to commit to a wooden train set that would take over our entire playroom, and this has been a great alternative. We've had it for over two years, and it's held up great. I love that when we're done playing with it, all of the pieces can be tossed right into the case and folded up neatly until the next time we want to break it out. You simply can't go wrong with Melissa & Doug!

Promising review: "My son is special needs and adores trains. We thought he would enjoy this great little track that he can carry around. He does. It is well-made and nice-looking. Pretty sturdy and for all ages. He is 9, but I feel like he'll use it for many years. Compatible with quite a few of his trains, including some from this brand. Worth the price." —Stephanie R.

Get it from Amazon for $23.50 (typically $33.99) — and shop all of theMelissa & Doug deals here.

14. A Skillmatics Poke-in Art Rose Bouquet Craft Kitfor 36% off for a mess-free activity you'll want to buy for *all* the kiddos in your life (and you should at this price) and set aside for when each of their birthdays rolls around. Then you won't have to think "Ugh, what should I gift them this year?" Part of that present will already be ready to go! 

Amazon

My 4-year-old is such a fan of Skillmatics' crafts and activities. I've been buying them for all the kids in our lives — they're such a hit! 

Promising review: "My eight-year-old daughter really enjoyed this crafting activity. I think this craft is perfect for kids ages 4-12. It kept her busy for about 2 hours, and she did it over several days. It is great for fine motor skills and mess-free! All of the supplies are included and of good quality. The colors were vibrant and fun." —Kindle Customer

15. A magnetic drawing boardfor 26% off for kiddos who like to moonlight as an *~artiste~* with parents who would prefer they stop doing so with markers on their couch and and walls 🙃. With this lovely toy, your little Picasso can express themselves without making a mess — a win for all!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Our 2-year-old LOVES this doodle board. I like how we can take the legs off and use it on the go for a travel board or with the legs for use at home. My baby loves how there are different colors in each corner of the board. It is very easy to erase; he can do it himself. It is lightweight, so I don’t have to worry about him moving it around on his own. Perfect for toddlers or your little artist. Very happy with the product!" —T. Wiseman

Get it from Amazon for $20.78 (originally $30.99; available in seven colors).

16. A BOB Gear Revolution Jogging Stroller for 20% off, which is a must-have not just for anyone who actually has intentions to jog with their kiddo in tow, but also for parents who have plans to take their littles on outdoor adventures or hilly paths. The double version is *also* on sale if you're living that two-under-two lifestyle (which, lemme tell you, IS a lifestyle.)

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

When I added this to my registry, my sister (who then promptly bought me this stroller) made fun of me, asking, "When will you ever go for a jog with your kid?" However, that's not why I wanted this stroller! We live in a very hilly area and also often go to grassy, muddy, and sandy parks, so I knew we'd need a stroller that could handle all that terrain. The wheels are LARGE and in charge — you won't have an issue getting over any bumps in this bad boy. It's so easy to maneuver. It can recline the seat for your little one, so they can sit in it pretty early in life. It also has a cute peek-a-boo window at the top (when you pull the shade all the way down) that both of my kids loved.

Promising review: "10/10 jogging stroller. Rolls more smoothly than I ever would have imagined and turns on a dime. This has been worth every penny and I would buy it again in a heartbeat." —Mike B.

Get it from Amazon for $519.99 (originally $649.99)

17. A heavy-duty round above-ground pool for 27% off in case you don't feel like packing up your crew and trekking to a public pool this summer — this might be just a *tad* easier. It comes with a filter pump, a filter cartridge, a pool ladder, and a cover.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This was SO much easier to set up than I expected. I actually had some level of dread when it showed up in its heavy, compact box, but I was worried for nothing. I did have my son help with a few parts, but I didn't need to. We've been in it every day for a week or so now, and we can't get enough of it, especially with our 100+ degree days lately. Kids love it! Deep enough to use diving sticks and shallow enough for the 6-year-old to stand. Sides feel very sturdy and the hardware is solid." —Kris Nielson

Get the 14' x 48" pool from Amazon for $344.99 (originally $469.99) — find more Bestway deals here.

18. And a popsicle-shaped pool floatfor 20% off to kick off a season of summer family fun! Whether you live somewhere warm enough to break it out for a Memorial Day Weekend BBQ or want to stash it for Fourth of July festivities, you won't regret snagging it (or more than one, so your kids don't fight over it) at this price.

Target

Promising review: "This float is so cute and big! It made a great addition to our 4th of July pool party. It is good quality, easy to inflate, and the glitter inside is super sparkly! I was able to snap this on sale and it is a great value. Perfect for one adult or a few littles." —Megan M

Get it from Target for $16(originally $20) —and shop all of the deals from Target's "Hello Summer Sale."

19. A tropical print one-piece and coordinatingswim trunks from Carter's for up to 50% that'll have siblings, cousins, or little besties grinning from ear to ear while they hold hands and run through the sprinkler together or pose happily while getting covered in ice pops (at least we *hope* they'll agree to pose, right?)

Carter's

I got a bunch of these styles for my kids and their cousins to wear together this summer! I can always rely on Carter's to wash well, fit well, and leave my kids lookin' cute, hehe.

Promising review (for the swim trunks): "My son loves these, color is exactly as pictured and the fit is perfect" —Meg WV

20. Roomba Plus 505 Combo robot + AutoWash dockfor $500 off—boasting the ability to handle a busy home filled with kids and pets, you'll know this mighty machine can clean your floors without breaking a sweat. Your dust-covered baseboards? It has detailed edge cleaning for that. And hey, hardwood! This thing can scrub that up *and* clean its rolling mop afterward. The charging dock has a small profile, so it won't take up much space. But honestly? After you see how well this robot works, you'll wanna give it its own room... or let it sleep next to you at night.

Roomba

Promising review: "Owning multiple dogs who shed year-round has been a pain to keep up with! I decided to buy the best available to test out, and I can honestly say this thing has completely changed how often I need to clean up after my messy pups. The dog hair tumbleweeds are gone, paw prints right by the back door are gone, and even the random puddles of water too. I run this every day to maintain the floors and chaos in my home and I couldn't be happier. If you are debating this, do it, you won't regret it!" —NoMoreDogHair

Get it from Roomba for $499 (originally $999; available in two colors) — check out their entire sale here.

21. A Shark Navigator vacuum for up to 25% off, designed specifically for people with allergies. It has a HEPA filter to literally trap the dust inside the vacuum, and it even comes with a powerful pet hair attachment for a super deep clean. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Who need Dyson? What a great deal! Usually, I do not get excited about vacuum cleaners. However, for this one I make an exception. Very high quality. Very low price. From tip to bottom, this is fine piece of engineering and aesthetically pleasing design. The vacuum reeks of quality throughout. It cleans extremely well while keeping the noise down. For a vacuum cleaner, it is pretty darn quiet in my opinion. The suction is powerful and it picks up everything thrown in its path with satisfaction. Because of the powerful suction, I especially like the feature that control the suction. It is placed very conveniently so that it can quickly be adjusted for different situations. On this vacuum cleaner, this feature is needed because it is so powerful." —Frank Chi

Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (originally $199.99) — and shop all the Shark deals here.

22. A Dyson cordless stick vacuum for 34% off, because summer fun often seems to take a turn toward the messy. Easily get rid of all that grass your kiddos tracked in from running around barefoot in the backyard with this bagless wonder, which has a 40-minute run time.

Target

23. A compact Nespresso coffee and espresso maker for 36% off that'll fit just about anywhere and make you the perfect amount of hot or iced coffee (until you need another one, obviously, you have kids, you're probably exhausted) in mere minutes. You'll fall in love with its full-bodied taste, but you'll become obsessed with the velvety foam that sits atop your caffeinated creation thanks to the included Aeroccino milk frother.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

FYI: Each machine comes with a complimentary starter set of Nespresso capsules!

Promising review: "Honestly, this has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I absolutely love my Nespresso machine. It arrived perfectly packaged, everything was included, and it worked flawlessly right out of the box.

"What I appreciate most is how simple and convenient it is to use. In under 5 minutes, I can make a rich, smooth espresso that tastes just like a coffee shop espresso. It’s perfect for busy mornings or whenever I want a quick, high-quality coffee without the hassle.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Wayfair

I have this sandbox for my kids (I got it on Amazon at full price, be better than me!) As of this writing, they are 2 and 4 — they both love it! It has tiny seats built into the corners that my kids and their friends love using. My daughter (the toddler) will spend an hour scooping sand in and out of it (yay, sensory activities!) It's low-maintenance and great for killing time during the witching hour. 

Promising review: "My grandchildren love this sandbox. I like that it blends in well in our wooded backyard, and the cover keeps the sand clean and dry. Great purchase." —Lisa

27. Or a covered sandbox for 53% off, sporting a rotating UV-resistant canopy to keep your backyard beach babies safe in the sun. The benches are large enough to fit four kids, our two adults, and they fold over to enclose the sandbox and keep it clean when not in use. 

Walmart

We recently upgraded our sandbox situation to one like this, and lemme tell you, it is NICE to be able to sit my own butt on a bench instead of the (sometimes wet) grass. I also like that it has the adjustable shade to help keep the at bay. Truly a major backyard enhancement!

Promising review: "These are great sand boxes. I bought one each for both my grandsons. I love that it keeps stray animals out of the sand." —Robin

Get it from Walmart for $73.39 (originally $158.99) — check out all of their deals here.

It's fast-drying, stretchy, and can be worn directly in the water.

Columbia

Note: The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends this fabric as an effective UV protectant only for covered areas.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these curtains! They might not be the most expensive-looking ones, but for the price and quality, they are perfect! They truly block a lot of light and hold up nicely! Perfect for a nursery. I will definitely be buying more for other bedrooms." —El

Abercrombie Kids

Abercrombie & Fitch recently expanded their kids collection to include baby and toddler sizes, which I was personally excited about since I have two little kids of my own who wear those sizes! My son lives in their Essential Logo Crew Tee(it's so soft and is currently 50% off!) and my daughter looks super cute running around in their Embroidered Logo Popover Hoodie (which is also on sale for 25%).

Get it from Abercrombie Kids for $56.21 (originally $74.95; available in toddler sizes 2T–5T and two styles) — and shop all of theAbercrombie Kids' deals here.

31. A pair of high-waisted bike shorts for 28% off (this is a Prime-exclusive deal btw!) with squat-proof four-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric that rivals other, much more expensive brands (looking at you, Lululemon). You're going to want to stock up on a few colors and make these your "Mom Summer Uniform" for chasing your *faster than the speed of light* toddler around the playground.

33. A bug-zapping lamp for 25% off that'll help protect your little ones from "buggies" as my kids call 'em. It's got a super bright light that'll attract all those pesky mosquitoes — and then give 'em a deadly shock as soon as they touch it. This thing starts working as soon as it's plugged in, and you'll get up to half an acre of bug-protection from a single lamp. Reviewers are loving this product so much that one person even wrote it a poem.

Promising review: "Living by a lake, mosquitoes are just a part of life, but the Bug Zapper has seriously changed the game. We set it up on our patio, and within the first evening, it was already zapping away... It’s quiet, easy to hang, and covers a good area. Now we can actually enjoy evenings outside without getting eaten alive. If you live near water like we do, this is 100% worth it!" —MikeandJia

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (typically $39.99).

34. A fun and sporty Athleta underwire bikini top for 40% off if you've been wearing the same swimsuit for years and wanna switch it up! Its sculptural design offers lift and support. Made from recycled swim fabric, this sleek and smooth top is perfect for all the water activities you have planned for the summer (yes, even that big water slide your 6-year-old is hoping you'll go down alongside them).

Athleta

Promising review: "Perfect bra swim top! Comfortable, holds the girls in, and covers the side boobs." —C a

35. A pack of eight shower steamers for 23% off for turning shower time into a nice trip to the spa (it's been a long day wrangling kiddos, you deserve it). Relieve a little stress with a lavender, eucalyptus, baby powder, grapefruit, or mint steamer.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are a nice, budget-friendly way to add a touch of spa-like relaxation to your daily shower. The scents, especially lavender, are pleasant and calming, and the gift-ready packaging makes this set ideal for birthdays, holidays, or self-care gift baskets. The steamers are easy to use and create a light, soothing aroma when placed away from direct water, though the fragrance is more subtle than intense and may not last through a long shower. Overall, these shower steamers are best suited for those who enjoy gentle aromatherapy or are looking for an affordable, thoughtful gift rather than a strong, long-lasting scent experience." —PattyJoy

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (originally $12.99).

36. A Joybird sleeper sofa for 42% off that'll look divine even if you pop it into your playroom — it has an amazing tufted seat, bolstered pillows, and high arms (ooOoOoh, luxurious!) and will also provide a comfortable place for guests to stay the night (a.k.a. your kids' aunts and uncles, the only ones who'd dare to weather that chaos for more than 24 hours.)
