How we chose these Baby & Kids deals
We selected these deals based on:
- Genuine prior-year price history (not inflated "was" prices)
- Brand reliability and product quality
- Retailer reputation for honouring deals and managing returns
- Whether the discount represents an actual annual low, not a return to baseline pricing
We update this page when 2026 deals are confirmed. Read our full editorial policy.
Baby and kids clothing is one of the more reliable Boxing Day categories — but for a specific reason. This is end-of-season clearance on previous sizing runs, not the arrival of new-season stock. Next leads for children’s clothing; Argos leads for nursery equipment. Prams and pushchairs are a clearance opportunity at Boxing Day because new models typically launch in spring, making December the natural point to clear prior-year inventory. Toys are covered separately on the toys page. Baby technology — monitors, smart devices — performs better at Black Friday and is worth skipping here.
Which retailers have the best baby and kids Boxing Day deals?
| Retailer | What it does best | Typical discount | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Next | Children’s clothing, previous-season clearance | Up to 50% | VIP early access via Nextpay; stores closed on 26 Dec |
| Argos | Nursery equipment, prams, high chairs | 20–40% | Broadest UK selection for baby hardware |
| Boots | Baby clothing multi-packs, essentials | Up to 50% | Strongest on Boots own-brand and Mothercare lines |
| Asda (George) | Budget baby and kids clothing bundles | 30–50% | George clothing is strong value at clearance pricing |
| H&M | Kids fashion, seasonal clearance | 30–50% | Prior-season kids lines clear aggressively post-Christmas |
| Matalan | Kids clothing bundles, multi-packs | Up to 50% | Matalan’s Boxing Day kids sale runs from 24 December |
| M&S | Quality kids basics, character ranges | 20–40% | Selective participation — not as deep as Next or Matalan |
| Next is the lead retailer for kids clothing at Boxing Day. The clearance depth is consistent: children’s clothing regularly reaches up to 50% off. The VIP early access window (48 hours ahead via Nextpay) matters more here than in some other categories, because popular sizes in high-demand kids lines go quickly. The mechanics are the same as for adult clothing. Read the Next Boxing Day guide for the full detail on timing and access. |
What to buy: specific products to watch
Kids clothing bundles (Next, H&M, Matalan)
The strongest Boxing Day opportunity in this category is previous-season kids clothing at clearance pricing. Think knitwear, winter coats, character-print tops, and multi-item packs across ages 0–16. Retailers need to move winter sizing to make room for spring stock, and the discount motivation is strong.
Next’s character-branded children’s clothing has historically cleared at significant reductions. H&M’s kids lines — seasonal outerwear, hooded sweatshirts, and puffer jackets — participate in Boxing Day discounting at similar depth. Matalan’s Boxing Day kids sale is typically live from 24 December, with bundles and multi-packs at up to 50% off.
One important note: this is previous-season stock. You are buying current-winter sizing for next winter. If you have children with predictable growth trajectories, buying a size or two ahead at clearance pricing is one of the smartest Boxing Day strategies in this category.
Baby clothing multi-packs (Boots, Asda George)
Boots carries own-brand baby clothing and Mothercare lines that participate in Boxing Day clearance. Multi-packs — sleepsuits, vests, babygrows — are a Boxing Day staple here. Asda’s George clothing range is reliably strong at clearance: budget pricing on baby basics drops further at Boxing Day. Multi-packs represent strong value for parents stocking up on the next size up.
Prams and pushchairs (Argos, Amazon)
Prams are worth understanding properly. New pushchair models from the major brands — Joie, iCandy, Bugaboo, Cosatto — typically launch in spring, ahead of the peak new-parent buying season. This makes Boxing Day clearance territory: prior-year models are being moved to make room for the spring range.
At Argos, prior-year travel systems and standalone pushchairs from brands including Joie and Hauck appear at clearance pricing during the Boxing Day event. The discount depth on these products is not uniform. Popular models at popular price points sell through faster than the broader range. If you have a specific pushchair in mind, act early in the Boxing Day window rather than waiting to see if it drops further.
Amazon carries a broad pram range and often matches or beats Argos on prior-year model pricing. Price history tools (CamelCamelCamel) are useful here to establish whether a Boxing Day price is a low point or simply a pre-inflated comparison.
Specialist nursery retailers — Mamas & Papas, UK Baby Centre — also run Boxing Day events and are worth checking alongside the major generalist retailers, particularly for higher-end pushchair brands that Argos doesn’t stock.
High chairs (outgoing models)
High chairs follow the same seasonal pattern as pushchairs. Outgoing models clear at Boxing Day ahead of spring updates. Argos and Amazon are the main participants for mainstream brands. This is a lower-urgency category than prams, as stock depth is greater. The savings on previous-model high chairs are real, and the functional difference between model years is rarely significant.
What to skip at Boxing Day in this category
Toys — covered in full on the toys page. Do not use this page for toy guidance.
Baby monitors and technology — video monitors, smart baby cameras, and connected baby tech perform poorly at Boxing Day. Black Friday is the stronger event for electronics and technology, including baby tech. If a baby monitor is on your list, wait for November.
Branded current-season kids clothing — the same rule applies as in adult fashion. Current-season branded lines from premium labels are not being cleared at Boxing Day. The opportunity is in own-label and previous-season stock, not in-season branded product.
When to buy
Kids clothing is not a time-pressured Boxing Day category. Stock depth across the major retailers is sufficient that you do not need to be online at midnight or at the moment the sale opens. The selection will thin over the first few days, but basics, multi-packs, and less-trendy lines persist well into Boxing Day week.
Nursery equipment is different. Popular pram models at low prices do move. If you have done your research on a specific pushchair or travel system and it appears at a strong price on Boxing Day, act. Waiting to see if it drops further is usually the wrong call: the item is more likely to sell out than to reduce again.
Next’s VIP window is worth flagging for kids clothing specifically. Popular sizes in high-demand children’s lines — particularly 3–4 and 5–6 — clear early. If Next is your primary destination for kids clothing, the Nextpay VIP access is worth having before Christmas.
FAQ
Is Boxing Day or Black Friday better for kids clothing? Boxing Day is stronger for clothing (children’s and adult alike). The seasonal clearance mechanism works in your favour: retailers are moving winter stock to make room for spring, and the discount motivation is more acute than it is in November when Christmas sales are still expected. Black Friday is stronger for technology and electronics, including baby tech like monitors. For clothing and nursery equipment, plan around Boxing Day.
Are prams cheaper at Boxing Day than January? The best prices on specific models tend to appear at the Boxing Day launch rather than later in January. Stock thins as the clearance event runs, and popular models at the sharpest prices go early. A January sale may carry over stock that didn’t sell at Boxing Day, but the selection is narrower and the best models will already have gone. If you have a specific pushchair in mind and it appears at a price you’re happy with at Boxing Day, that is usually the moment to buy.
Which retailer is best for kids clothing at Boxing Day? Next. The clearance depth is consistent, the children’s range is wide, and the VIP early access via Nextpay means you can get to the sale before popular sizes disappear. H&M and Matalan are strong seconds: both clear kids seasonal lines aggressively and Matalan’s sale typically opens from 24 December. Asda George is worth checking for baby basics and budget multi-packs.
Is Boxing Day the right time to buy a pram? For prior-year models, yes. New pushchair ranges from the major brands launch in spring, making Boxing Day the natural point for retailers to clear previous inventory. You are buying an outgoing model rather than the latest version. For most pushchairs, the functional difference between model years is modest, and the price difference can be significant. If you are not committed to having the newest model, Boxing Day is a legitimate moment to buy. If you need the current model, wait for the spring launch.
What baby products should I avoid buying at Boxing Day? Baby monitors and smart baby technology. Connected monitors, video baby cameras, and similar tech products are not meaningfully discounted at Boxing Day: the event is not structured around electronics clearance. Black Friday is the stronger event for baby tech, with better deals from the same retailers. Buy baby technology in November and clothing, nursery equipment, and prams in December.
