5 Reasons to Join Amazon Prime as a New Parent

Having recently hosted a quick survey about which of my fellow Mama’s (& Dad’s too) are currently Amazon Prime members and to my surprise an even 50/50 said yes vs no. That means half of my audience is missing out on this huge perk in my opinion.

With parenting comes so many joys like watching your baby’s first crawl to teaching them how to ride a bike; no matter what stage you’re at there is so much to enjoy. There are also some complications. I never knew the simple joy of grocery shopping prior to kids and what a breeze it was. I’ll be honest, I took it for granted. Now being 41 weeks pregnant with my second child and having a crazy little toddler who is almost 2 running around constantly, it’s not as easy for me to get to the stores now a days. I find myself constantly relying on Amazon Prime. That’s why one of the best things I did once finding out I was pregnant was joining Amazon Prime.

Here are the Top 5 reasons it will benefit you to Join:

  1. Amazon Family – As a prime member you can get access to exclusive family oriented offers, coupons and specific curated recommendations just for you. Amazon Family also allows you to get up to 20% off Subscriptions to your everyday necessities such as diapers and wipes. This has saved us from countless diaper runs in the middle of the night because just as we were almost finished with a box of diapers, another box was already at my door
  2. Free Shipping Always & On Time – With no minimum purchase you are always entitled to FREE shipping. Over the course of the year I can’t begin to tell you how many times I needed a random $10 bib or a $5 pacifier on the whim and Amazon was always there for me. Shipping was always on time or earlier which was a pleasant surprise too
  3. Lightning Deals Early Access Shopping – Along with free shipping you are also able to score deals at such a low price it is almost unbelievable. The deal is available one per customer, until either the promotion period expires or once the inventory is sold out. The best part is as a prime member you can shop lightning deals 30 minutes before it is open to the public
  4. Prime Photo – Who doesn’t like unlimited photo storage as opposed to your phone memory or “premium” services like extra iCloud storage. Photo sharing and organization are easy to use. This is yet another great service included in your Primer membership at no additional charge
  5. Prime Video – As a prime member you are also able to watch thousands of movies on demand anywhere. This is a great supplement to your cable providers Video on Demand services and Netflix. Again, also included in your Prime membership at no additional charge
