When it comes to shopping for baby clothes, canny parents know that seasonal sales and baby events are the way to do it. If you plan your purchases carefully you can usually re-stock your baby's wardrobe for the season ahead without ever needing to pay full price for baby clothes.

But knowing which shops have sales - and when - isn't easy. And unless you subscribe to endless newsletters from baby clothing stores, it can feel as though you're always the last to know about the best baby events and baby clothing sales. 

Happily, we're clued in about such things at Goodto and we'll always bring you the best prices and biggest baby gear savings as we hear about them.

You can make great savings on kids' clothes at Matalan all year round with free standard delivery on orders over £40 and free returns. But their £5-and-under baby event is particularly hard to beat.
