The Baby Registry That Eliminates the Need For All Others

There’s nothing quite like the little thrill that comes with creating a baby registry and adding all your must-have gear to your wish list (plus your nice-to-haves and a few these-are-too-adorable-to-resist products, too). It’s an exciting rite of passage that helps make your baby’s arrival seem real and imminent. The big question is: Where will you build your registry? 

Online baby registries aren’t new—most major retailers offer them through their websites—but we’ve found they’re not as user-friendly and convenient as most busy parents-to-be need. But, there is one registry platform that stands out among the rest. 

Babylist’s online registry gives users that rush of excitement when curating their baby registry as well as some unique features that the other platforms don’t have, such as price comparison from across the web and their own online shop.  Babylist’s online registry is simple and user-friendly, whether you’re the expectant parent building it, or the generous friend or family member purchasing from it. The whole system is designed with today’s parents in mind, creating a registry experience unlike any other. 

A Universal Online Registry

Big box retailers like Target, Walmart, and Amazon all offer online registries, but the issue with these platforms is that they only allow you to add products from their stores or site. Babylist’s universal online registry, on the other hand, allows expecting parents to add products from any online retailer. Instead of curating your registry from just one retailer or managing a collection of registries on various websites, Babylist simplifies the process of adding to and purchasing from a gift registry by having everything in one place. 

Registering for a new baby can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t know which products and gear you’ll really need. Keeping track of registries across several stores is a lot of work, so the convenience of having one registry to manage cannot be overstated. With Babylist, you can add the car seat you love from Target, the must-have swaddles from Nordstrom, the irresistibly cute outfits from H&M, and the gorgeous crib from Crate & Kids all in one place. Easy-peasy! 

Additionally, Babylist offers a registry checklist that will help you fill your list with the essentials. This is especially helpful in reminding you to add some of the less adorable stuff, like a diaper pail Genie (and extra liners), a first aid kit, and laundry detergent. Since your wishlist doesn’t limit you to one retailer, you have the freedom to find and add the products that best meet your needs rather than settle for whatever that retailer has in stock. 

Price Comparison Tool and Discounts

The purpose of a gift registry is for you not to have to purchase items for yourself, but you should stilll be mindful of costs for your friends and family who are shopping your wishlist. Fortunately, Babylist’s online registry makes this so easy thanks to their price comparison tool. Here’s how it works: Find the product (from any retailer), add it to your registry, and watch as prices for the same product at different stores pop up—complete with links. From there, simply choose to add the link from the store with the lowest price. 

If you still have some items lingering on your baby registry after your baby shower and once your due date approaches, Babylist will offer you a 15% completion discount on products available in the Babylist Shop. In order to qualify for this discount, your registry needs to be active for at least 30 days. You’ll receive your personal one-time-use 15% off code 60 days before your baby’s expected due date, which expires six months from that date.

Try-It Kits

Babylist’s Try-It Kits are an excellent example of how well the company understands the needs of new parents (and they’re totally worth adding to your registry if you ask us).

There are so many baby products on the market, and even though you want to prepare ahead of your baby’s arrival as much as possible, there are some essential products that your little one may end up having a strong opinion on, so it’s helpful to have a few options on hand to find out what works best—and that’s where the Try-It Kits come in. Each kit is thoughtfully curated to make the process of finding the perfect product easy. Kit options for infants include diapers and wipes (a cloth diaper box is also available), pacifiers, swaddles, bottles (plastic or glass), teethers, first aid supplies, and diaper creams. There is also a kit with sippy cups as well as two different book kits for older babies.

We had the opportunity to test the Diaper Box, the Pacifier Box, and the Bottle Box in real life, and the quality truly blew us away. Every piece in the kits arrived well packaged, so we felt confident that they were safe to offer to baby, and clearly labeled, so we could easily note which one baby preferred so we could order enough to stock up. Each kit included products from high-quality and parent-trusted brands, including The Honest Company, Dr. Brown’s, and Philips Avent, and had enough options to find the perfect fit for your little one.

Free Welcome Gift

The ease-of-use of Babylist’s registry is reason enough to sign up, but it certainly doesn’t hurt that you also get a free Hello Baby Box as a welcome gift (you only have to pay for tax and shipping). The specific products in each box are frequently changed and updated, but no matter what, the box will be filled with free product samples for babies (newborn to 3 months), such as bibs, pacifiers, and onesies, as well as special offers and discounts from some top baby brands. 

Here are the steps you’ll need to take in order to qualify for the welcome gift:

• Sign up for your registry with your name, address, and expected due date.
• Add three products to your registry from outside retailers (not from the Babylist Shop).
• Keep adding products until you complete at least 40% of your registry checklist.
• Make a minimum purchase of $30 from the Babylist Shop (a friend or family member spending $30 on a Babylist Shop order from your registry is another way to meet this qualification). 

Once you’ve qualified, you’ll receive an email from Babylist alerting you and providing the next steps for ordering and shipping the Hello Baby Box to your home. 

Babylist’s baby registry is an online gift registry game-changer.  Nothing will prepare you for how your life will change once you welcome a new baby into your home. But from convenience to expertise, Babylist’s comprehensive registry will help you be as ready as you’ll ever be for the big moment. To get started on your registry, sign up and begin by taking advantage of their registry guides and checklist to help you create your wishlist. Once you’ve completed your list, share it with your friends and family, and start making space for all the gear for your lucky new arrival.
