Black Friday is one of the best times of year to buy a stroller or car seat in Canada, because big-ticket baby gear from brands like UPPAbaby, Bugaboo, Britax and Clek is often discounted at the same time. The smartest way to shop is to choose your stroller and car seat before the sale starts, so you can buy the moment the price drops instead of deciding in a rush. At Active Baby, Black Friday 2026 deals run [CONFIRM: Black Friday 2026 sale start and end dates], online and in our North Vancouver and Langley stores [CONFIRM: online and in-store, or online only].
Black Friday falls on Friday, November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is November 30. Below, we've rounded up the strollers and car seats in our Black Friday collections, who each one suits, and a simple checklist so you can shop with confidence.

Black Friday Stroller Deals: Our Top Picks
1. UPPAbaby Vista V3: The Stroller That Grows With Your Family
Best for families who want one full-size stroller now and room for a second child later.
The Vista V3 is a full-size everyday stroller with a reversible seat, a big basket and a smooth ride on city sidewalks and park paths. Its biggest advantage is flexibility: add the UPPAbaby RumbleSeat V3 (sold separately) and it becomes an in-line double. Compatible UPPAbaby infant car seats, like the Mesa V3, click straight onto the frame.
Because it's one of the most-requested strollers we sell, the Vista V3 is a smart Black Friday buy if you've already decided on it. Popular colours can sell out quickly during the sale.
Who is the Vista V3 best for?
- Parents planning a second baby within a few years.
- Families who walk daily and want a full-size seat and basket.
- Anyone building an UPPAbaby travel system with the Mesa V3.
What should you consider?
The Vista V3 is a larger, heavier stroller than the Cruz V3 or a travel stroller, so check your trunk space. If you only plan on one child, the Cruz V3 gives you a full-size ride in a slightly smaller package. Our UPPAbaby KONA vs Cruz V3 vs Minu V3 guide compares UPPAbaby's single strollers side by side.
2. Bugaboo Donkey 6: The Side-by-Side for Siblings and Twins
Best for families with a toddler and a new baby, or twins, who want both children side by side.
The Donkey 6 starts as a single stroller with an extra-wide side basket and converts to a side-by-side double with the Donkey 6 sibling seat. Side-by-side means both children get the same view and the same comfort, and it's easy to reach both of them at once.
As the most expensive stroller in this guide, the Donkey 6 is where a Black Friday discount can make the biggest difference to your budget.
Who is the Donkey 6 best for?
- Expecting a second baby while your first still naps in the stroller.
- Twins, or children close in age.
- Families who like lots of storage for long outings.
What should you consider?
In double mode, a side-by-side is wider than an in-line double, so measure doorways and the elevator in your building. Our Bugaboo stroller comparison explains how the Donkey 6 compares with the rest of the Bugaboo line-up.
3. Bugaboo Butterfly 2 Plus: The Holiday Travel Pick
Best for families flying over the holidays, or anyone who wants a light, compact stroller for transit and quick errands.
The Butterfly 2 Plus is Bugaboo's compact travel stroller, designed with a quick fold that's small enough to meet many airlines' cabin baggage size limits. It's light enough to carry up SkyTrain stairs or toss in a small trunk, and it makes a great second stroller even if you already own a full-size model.
A cabin-size fold does not guarantee your airline will let the stroller on board. Rules vary by airline and aircraft, so check before you fly. Our guide Can You Bring a Stroller on a Plane in Canada? covers what to expect.
What should you consider?
Travel strollers have smaller baskets and wheels than full-size strollers, so they're best as a travel or second stroller if you walk long distances every day. If you prefer UPPAbaby, the Minu V3 is the closest alternative.

4. UPPAbaby Mesa V3: The Infant Seat for an UPPAbaby Travel System
Best for parents of newborns who want to move a sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without unbuckling.
An infant car seat is rear-facing only and is designed for the first months of your baby's life. The Mesa V3 clicks directly onto UPPAbaby strollers like the Vista V3, Cruz V3 and KONA, so buying it alongside a Black Friday stroller deal gives you a complete travel system. Check the Mesa V3 manual for its exact weight and height limits.
Who is the Mesa V3 best for?
- Parents expecting a baby in the next few months.
- Families who own, or are buying, an UPPAbaby stroller.
- Anyone who wants to carry the seat in and out of the car.
5. Britax One4Life ClickTight: One Seat for the Long Haul
Best for families who want to buy one car seat that moves from rear-facing to forward-facing to booster mode.
An all-in-one seat stays in the car rather than clicking onto a stroller, but it can cover many years of your child's life. Britax's ClickTight system is designed to make a secure seatbelt installation simpler. If you'd rather buy once and buy well, this is one of the best-value purchases you can make on Black Friday.
What should you consider?
All-in-one seats are large and heavy, so they're not ideal if you swap the seat between cars often. Always follow the Britax manual for each mode's limits, and keep your child rear-facing for as long as the seat allows.
Shop the Britax One4Life ClickTight
6. Clek Foonf: The Slim Convertible for Small Cars
Best for compact cars and families who need to fit three car seats across the back seat.
Clek is a Canadian brand, and the Foonf is known for its narrow, solidly built design. Its slim shape helps many families fit three seats across in vehicles where wider seats won't work. It's a convertible seat, so it can be used rear-facing and then forward-facing as your child grows.
What should you consider?
The Foonf is heavier than many convertible seats and sits at the higher end of the price range, which is exactly why a sale price is worth waiting for. Bring your car to the store and we'll help you check the fit.
How to Shop Black Friday Baby Gear Deals in Canada
A good deal on the wrong stroller isn't a good deal. Use these tips to make sure your Black Friday purchase still feels right a year from now.
Decide before the sale starts
Pick your top one or two strollers and car seats now. Read reviews, compare folded sizes against your trunk, and visit a store to test them. When the sale opens, all you need to do is choose a colour and check out.
Buy car seats from a Canadian retailer
Cross-border deals on car seats are not worth it. Transport Canada says it is illegal to import, sell or use a child car seat in Canada that does not have the National Safety Mark, the label that shows a seat meets Canadian safety standards. Seats bought from U.S. or other non-Canadian websites usually don't carry it.
Every car seat sold at Active Baby is a Canadian model. Learn more on Transport Canada's page about child car seat cross-border shopping.
Register your car seat and check the expiry date
Transport Canada recommends registering your car seat with the manufacturer so you can be contacted if there's a recall. Most car seats sold in Canada also have an expiry or useful-life date on a label and in the manual. A new seat bought on sale gives you the full lifespan.
Think about the whole system
If you need a stroller and an infant car seat, check that they work together. UPPAbaby seats attach to UPPAbaby strollers without adapters, while many Bugaboo strollers need a car seat adapter. Factor in the extras you'll want for a Vancouver winter, like a rain cover or a warm footmuff such as the Bugaboo THERMOLITE Performance Footmuff or the UPPAbaby CozyGanoosh.
Know the return policy
Before you buy, check our return and exchange policy, especially for items marked final sale. [CONFIRM: any Black Friday changes to the return policy]
Which Black Friday Deal Should You Choose?
Choose a stroller deal first if your baby is on the way.
Pair the Vista V3 or Cruz V3 with the Mesa V3 for a click-in travel system, or pick the Donkey 6 if a second child is coming soon.
Choose a car seat deal if your baby is outgrowing the infant seat.
The Britax One4Life ClickTight covers the most years, while the Clek Foonf is the pick for small cars and 3-across.
Choose a travel stroller if you're flying this holiday season.
The Butterfly 2 Plus or Minu V3 make airports and family visits much easier, and they stay useful as a second stroller all year.
Still deciding?
Ask yourself these three questions:
- What does my family need in the next 12 months? A newborn, a second baby, holiday travel or a bigger car seat all point to different deals.
- Will it fit my car and my home? Measure your trunk, your doorways and your back seat before the sale.
- What's my total budget? Add up the stroller, car seat, adapters and winter accessories so a deal on one item doesn't stretch your budget on the others.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Black Friday 2026 in Canada?
Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, and Cyber Monday is Monday, November 30. Active Baby's Black Friday deals run [CONFIRM: sale start and end dates]. Sign up for our newsletter to hear the moment they go live.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a stroller?
Yes. Strollers are one of the most expensive baby purchases, and Black Friday is one of the few times of year when premium brands are discounted together. It works best if you've already chosen your model, because popular colours can sell out.
Should I buy a car seat on Black Friday or wait until closer to my due date?
Buying on Black Friday can save you money, and it gives you time to learn how to install the seat before baby arrives. Check the expiry date on the label and register the seat with the manufacturer once you have it.
Can I buy a car seat from a U.S. website during Black Friday?
We don't recommend it. Transport Canada says it is illegal to import or use a car seat in Canada that doesn't carry the National Safety Mark, and most U.S. seats don't. Buy from a Canadian retailer so your seat meets Canadian standards and you're notified of any recalls.
Do Active Baby's Black Friday deals apply in store and online?
[CONFIRM: whether deals apply both online and in store]. You can shop online at activebaby.ca or visit our North Vancouver and Langley stores.
Can I pick up my Black Friday order?
Yes. Online orders can be picked up from our Surrey warehouse at 10670 135A Street, which is for online order pickup only. [CONFIRM: pickup timing during Black Friday week]
Are Black Friday stroller deals better than Boxing Day deals?
It varies by brand and year. If you need gear before the holidays, for travel or a December due date, Black Friday is the safer choice because you'll have it in time.
What should I buy with my stroller for a Vancouver winter?
A rain cover and a warm footmuff are the two accessories most families use from November to March. Check that the accessory is made for your stroller model.
