The Benefits of Creating an Amazon Baby Registry

It’s no secret that Amazon’s baby registry platform offers tons of benefits for parents-to-be. The retailer has grown in popularity over the past decade (mainly due to the fact that it offers one of the largest selections), with millions of products available at the click of a button—including all the essentials you’ll need for baby from reputable brands like Graco, Nanit, Lovevery and many more. What’s more, most likely, all of your family and friends use Amazon regularly, so you’ll be making it easy for them to spoil baby with something sweet from your list. The perks of creating an Amazon baby registry are undoubtedly numerous—these are just a drop in the bucket:

1. Go to Amazon’s “create a new baby registry” page

How to Use Your Amazon Baby Registry

Once you’ve created your registry, you can start adding items to it. Simply search for products (as you normally would when browsing the site)—but, instead of adding the item to your cart, click the button that says “add to baby registry.” From there, Amazon will allow you to mark the item as a “must-have,” enable group gifting options or mark the item as private (so only you and your co-registrant can see it).

To help you add all the baby gear you’ll need, Amazon offers a baby registry checklist with categories for travel gear, nursery furniture, feeding gear, diapering items and more, along with browsing options for each. Once you’re ready, share the registry with friends and family.

Bonus: If you plan on making multiple registries with separate retailers, The Bump can help with that. The Bump’s baby registry makes it easy to bring all your wish lists to one place. Just create registries with all your favorite retailers, including Amazon, and we’ll sync them for you—so you can make it easy for family and friends to navigate all your baby’s essentials in one convenient spot.
