Things to Consider When You Buy a Baby Registry

by Brad Robinson


You are awaiting a very special addition to your family: a baby. One of the best things you can do to prove your happiness is to organize a baby registry for your upcoming baby. A baby registry is essentially a list of items you would like to have when the baby is born. With this registry, you need not worry of having similar items from different relatives for instance. A registry is not just a set of list but also a plan for your relatives and friends that they might give.

Many Web sites provide suggestions and tips on items to include in a baby registry. This list below I collated from other sites is just suggestions to provide you some idea for your own baby registry. But be sure to put everything on your list that you think you would like. Great chances are if you leave something off the list, you may regret not having that item. On the other side of the coin, you may find that you have an item or two that you never even used.

Here are some suggestions:

- Nursery/Safety to include Crib

- Bassinette or Co-sleeper

- Changing table

- Bathtub

- Health kit

- Swing, Bouncy or vibrating seat

- Car seats

- Stroller

- Monitor

Extras for Baby Baby Einstein Videos to include:

- Nursing/Feeding Pillow

- Crib Toy and Mobile

- Diaper Wipe Warmer

- Playmat /kick toy/ play saucer

- Glider Rocker

- Baby carrier

- Baby Wedge

- Fun Bedding Theme

- Diaper Bag

Clothes to include:

- Onesies

- Wearable Blanket

- Winter Wear

- Summer/Winter Hats

- Diapers, More Diapers, and even more Diapers.

But oops, we forgot about one important thing: the baby registry store. How to find one?

The first item of business will be to choose one or two stores that specialize in baby gear and make sure they offer a baby registry. Whether you choose an online retailer or visit a store, you will get to browse, compare and then put together your wish list.

First, you choose the online store you want to use. There are several of these, some shops sell all you could possibly think of for a new baby, while others focus on clothing, or baby furniture. Make sure to research a little about the reliability and track record of the online stores.

At the online store, find their gift registry page.

Enter your name and address, so your friends and family can find your registry and so that the store can ship the items to you once they are purchased. You will probably be asked to give your E-mail address and a password so that you can modify your registry at a later time.

Once the registry is created, you will receive an E-mail confirmation with your information. You will then be ready to add the items you want to your registry. You do this by browsing the site and clicking on the 'Add to Registry' button (or similar) whenever you find something you like. Remember, you can always change this later. If you want some guidance on what to add to your list, check the bestselling items (or similar page) at the store. Parents just like you are getting what they need too, so let them guide you.

Finally, when you are finished creating your registry, send an email to your friends and family letting them know that you have set up your baby gift registry, and the web address of the online store.

Your family and friends can then check the site, find your registry through your name, and purchase their gift for you from your selected list. The store will send the gift to you. Yes, it's just as easy as that! The only task you will do is to un-wrap your gifts when they arrive.
