September marks the start of a new school year, leaves changing, pumpkin spice everything (whether you like it or not), and Baby Safety Month! The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), a.k.a., the people who make sure your kid’s products are safe, sponsor this event every September. Baby Safety Month helps raise visibility around common safety concerns for babies and toddlers and provides safety tips and resources for parents. 

Walmart is a Baby Safety Month Ambassador and is offering some incredible savings in stores and online-only savings on safe baby products for travel, sleep, baby proofing and more, for a limited time. Read on for 10 of our favorite products with big savings for the month of September at Walmart!

Sleep

Owlet Smart Sock Baby Monitor

Let's face it: new parents worry about everything. We get it! The Owlet Smart Sock monitor takes a load off, tracking your baby's heart rate and oxygen level while they sleep. You'll all rest better, knowing Owlet will notify you with lights and sounds if anything is out of the ordinary—it even tracks baby's sleep and uses the data to help create a bedtime routine as they grow. Way more than just a soft little sock, Owlet is the ally you need, moms and dads!

Kali 4-in-1 Convertible Crib and Changer

This crib is a multi-functional, transforming game changer! Kali will grow with your child, from infant to toddler, into a full-size bed. Its compact design is great for smaller spaces, and the baby station is attached, making those late-night changes so much easier. They didn't stop there—the changing station converts to a nightstand or dresser once your toddler is ready for their big kid bed!

Travel

The design allows you to carry four ways: facing-in (reduced width seat for infants), facing-in (expanded seat), facing out and backpack.

This seat is built to grow, as a 3-in-1 for use through three stages, from rear-facing newborn up to 40 pounds, to forward-facing and booster. Their Quickfit harness, easy in and out, fuss-free cleaning and top-notch safety make this car seat the total package.

Wondering which movie theater steals the show for seeing a family-friendly flick with your kids? We’ve rounded up our favorites which feature everything from play areas, parent’s night out showtimes and family flashback films to crybaby matinees and $1 movie deals. Read on to see which movie theaters we give two thumbs up.

Angelika Film Center

Are you crying for a day out? Need a little time with other parents? Well, grab the littles and head to the Crybaby Matinee (Wednesdays, 11 a.m.) at Carmel Mountain's Angelika Film Center. Whether your babe needs a nap or needs to be changed, they've got you covered with dimmed lights and lower volume on the big screen. Even more, look for special guests before the show. They recently had a lactation consultant visit to advise moms and answer questions before the movie. You'll get information and a free cup of coffee to boot. We also love Angelika's Family Flashbacks where you can take your kids to see classic films from your childhood on the big screen––like The Princess Bride and Labyrinth!

Dates: Wednesdays, 11 a.m.

AMC Poway Dine-In 10

This recently remodeled theater includes upgrades like heated recliners, dine-in delivery to your seat, RealD 3D and reserved seating. You'll find plenty of family flicks and upscale food like artisan pepperoni flatbread and gourmet fries. Even more, you can stretch your legs or cuddle up in the new large reclining seats with footrests included. Don't miss their $5 ticket Tuesdays to save some dough!

Cinépolis Junior Theater

Playtime and movie time combined! Find it at the Cinépolis Junior Theater in Vista. First, there's a jungle gym on the side of the theater. You relax the twenty minutes before the film while your kiddos climb around and play. Second, if you have a toddler there's a separate gated play area in the front of the theater. Everyone has a choice of seating too: either a long leather chair (to extend those legs) or a huge (red) bean bag chair. A perfect family movie hot spot.

UltraStar Cinemas Mission Valley

Convenient stroller parking right outside the theater? Yes, please. Also, you'll find a spot in the back of the theater (with wipes) to change your little one if needed. Moreover, there are two family-friendly movie time options. If you're a morning person, there's a Parent Movie Morning (10 a.m) where you can watch a grown-up film with your baby. You'll find dimmed lights, valet stroller parking, lower volume and a baby station. On the other hand, if you prefer an evening out, go to the Baby's Night Out (same perks). Usually on Wednesday's too, but check the theater website before you head out.

Dates: Wednesdays at 10 a.m. and for the night show check the theater website.

Drive-in Theaters

Kick it old school at a drive-in. Not only do you get two movies for the price of one (at South Bay Drive-In), but you can also bring your own snack and beach chairs (or there's a snack bar with movie food). Pack up the car and treat your brood to the big screen. Make sure everyone takes a nap because they often show double features!

South Bay Drive-In Cost: $9/adult; $1/kids ages 5-9; free for kids under 5

Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas- Del Mar

Sit in the lap of luxury at Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas. The Del Mar location is situated in Del Mar Highlands Town Center, so you and the kids can grab a bite and shop and get out the wiggles before or after the flick. After a full renovation in 2017, the theater has 11 auditoriums with plush, reclining leather seats, reserved seating and dine-in seat service. During the summertime, check the theater's website for discount movie offers on kid-friendly films all summer long.
