Registry tips

chelsraec · October 2021

I am a second time mom, but still seeking must haves for the registry. I thought this would be a good place to get advice. Does anyone have a diaper bag they love? I hate mine!!

I have the skip hop mainframe diaper bag on my registry this time. I don’t really have any must haves for a registry as I think what people consider necessities varies. However, my advice is to put everything you want on your registry regardless of cost. I was very self conscious last time about making sure I only put the small affordable stuff on my registry and after had numerous people tell me that they were looking for something more expensive so instead they bought like 15 things off my registry. Also, I let everyone know ahead of them I was cloth diapering and that I did not want disposables. At my shower I got enough cloth diapers that I didn’t have to buy any of my own and essentially diapered my kid for free.

With my second, I got something like this and it's been great as I wanted to be hands-free with 2 kids. It's got plenty of space for all essentials for a toddler and baby https://www.amazon.com/HaloVa-Multi-Function-Waterproof-Backpack-Capacity/dp/B071CRYFLJ/ref=sxin_12_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?crid=3GZD1DT5MW400&cv_ct_cx=diaper+backpack&dchild=1&keywords=diaper+backpack&pd_rd_i=B071CRYFLJ&pd_rd_r=1688f285-e9df-4bc8-82ec-60de5539c6f7&pd_rd_w=2tQmU&pd_rd_wg=kP6oI&pf_rd_p=f21da57e-06e4-46a5-9148-e2dea2e78384&pf_rd_r=424APR6QCJSE9WMP2WAV&qid=1635430836&sprefix=diaper+back,aps,169&sr=1-3-a73d1c8c-2fd2-4f19-aa41-2df022bcb241-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5VEMzWDZRQlVCWUkmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1ODAzOTczN1hBVFc0MkpDMVU5JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwNDU2NTA4UzhOVTFWQ0xQV0cmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWMmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1

Thanks for the links. I definitely second the putting things you want on the registry because I was surprised last time. I am registering 4 different places just for baby samples and what not. Also, the registry discount!

Do you guys share your registries for your baby shower, or just post one generally? When do you have your baby showers, like 3rd trimester?

I feel like I can't even start thinking of registry items til after 1st trimester, it's too stressful 😅

Anyone ave experience with babylist vs. just using a store's registry? What do you prefer?

chelsraec · November 2021

@furmama2babymama I like to create a few registries for the free welcome boxes. I did target and Amazon. Amazon worked well because I’m in a different state than most relatives.

I used Amazon with my first. This time around I plan to use baby list.

Tulips29 · November 2021

@furmama2babymama I used baby list with my first 2 kids and really enjoyed their registry. I liked that you could install a google chrome extension and just add items from any website. It would then automatically link the same items from any other website (amazon, buy buy baby, etc) and people could chose where they wanted to buy the item from. I also like their whole interface. On amazon, items are often times out of stock and not available, so people won't go looking for it elsewhere. Babylist will include other stores so it's convenient to shop elsewhere if one place is out of stock.
