Ranking of sites to create your baby registry

Baby registry: the indispensable tool for well-organized parents

Both practical and useful: creating a baby registry has become commonplace when a pregnancy is announced.

If generally, expectant parents wait for the ultrasound that reveals the sex of the baby to create their list and share it: nothing prevents you from starting well before that (especially if you do not want to know if you're expecting a little boy or girl!)

The more you anticipate: the less you risk forgetting elements and the more serene you will be before the arrival of your little one.

Its evolution, from yesterday to today 

Before the democratization of Internet, the future parents had to move to the store to create and submit their list(s), which forced them to focus on large stores, such as buybuy Baby, Target, Babies R Us or Mothercare for example (more accessible with their hundreds of store locations) rather than smaller local stores less known.

A major drawback: these large brands do not generally include all the wished items, so many parents were forced to make a list in several different stores, or had to buy certain items "out of spite" rather than by real desire.

Thanks to the Internet and to solve this problem, many sites, like Babylist.com for example, have been offered since several years now, to create a "multi-brands" list on which you will be able to centralize all the articles on which you will have flashed on the web (no matter the website), and all for FREE!

Be careful though: not all sites are free and may charge future parents and/or their gift givers.

The benefits of creating your list on Internet

In short, creating your online baby registry means: 

• to provide a global and centralized answer to your loved ones on what you need/what they can buy (everything is listed: from baby clothes to crip bedding).
   
• no need to go to the store
   
• to have a huge choice and extremely varied products that one single store can not provide
   
• to have the opportunity to be offered original items that are out of the ordinary,
   
• no duplicate gifts possible: the list is updated with every purchase
   
• no compulsion for your gift givers: the list is accessible 24/7, from home
   
• to benefit from cheaper prices than in-store (thanks to promo codes, fidelity discounts, partner offers, etc.)
   
• to have the possibility to edit it anytime (delete/add article) in just a few clicks
   
• not to be swayed by a salesman who is too insistent and wants to reach his goal of the month (this will mean, at the same time, that you do not profit from his expertise)
   

However, the drawback of not creating your baby registry directly in a store location is that you can't get a good idea of the quality, colors, brands etc.
 

A dead simple operation 

Although not all sites offer the same features and options, their operation remains similar and their use very simple.

After having selected the site which meet all your requirements (ease of use, various and original articles, free of charge etc.), you just need to create your account.

Once your list is complete, you will only have to share it with your loved ones by communicating its link, by email or via social networks.

Features that can make a difference

Valuable (and appreciable!) help that is increasingly offered by specialized sites: the pre-established checklist (or a list already created by other parents) can bring you inspiration and can help you not to forget anything (this "guide" can be reassuring, especially if you are expecting your first child)

You will just need to complete/modify it according to your desires and needs (significant time savings)

Some sites will also offer you the possibility to personalize your list with your own description/introduction, photos etc. (be unique!)



So go for it: our ranking will help you to find out THE site that will meet all your requirements and help you bring your new bundle of joy into the world!
