How to create a baby registry

Set up in minutes, add from any store, and share one link. Here’s the simple step-by-step.

Step by step

1
Create your free registry and set basic details (your name, due date, shipping address).
2
Install the browser button or use the search to add items from any store.
3
Add a range of price points so there’s something for every gift-giver.
4
Mark your must-haves and set quantities (e.g., several packs of newborn diapers).
5
Add a cash fund or group gift for big-ticket items like a stroller or car seat.
6
Review for duplicates and gaps using a registry checklist.
7
Share your one registry link — and update it any time as your needs change.

Frequently asked

How long does it take to create a baby registry?

Setting up the registry itself takes just a few minutes. Adding items is ongoing — most parents build their list over a few sessions across a couple of weeks, often guided by a registry checklist.

How do I add items from different stores?

With a universal registry, use the browser button (bookmarklet/extension) or paste a product link to add an item from virtually any retailer onto your single list. Gift-givers then buy from that store.

What price range should I include?

Include a spread — small items ($10–25), mid-range ($30–75), and a few big-ticket goods, plus a cash fund or group gift for expensive gear. That way every budget has a good option.
