Build your GIFT registry now

As of now, there is no one store that offers all of the safest items at a great price. However, that won't stop you from making a baby registry just the way you want it. Babylist, featured here, lets you easily create a registry from as many different stores as you like by providing a little "widget" - a button at the top of your browser - that makes it incredibly simple to add any item directly to your personal list! Here's how:

1. Go to babylist.com and choose "CREATE YOUR BABYLIST" - enter your details as requested. If you agree to terms of use, continue with "Let's Start." They'll then ask you for additional information: due date, partner name, etc. You can fill in the information or choose "SKIP STEP" if you don't want to share it.
2. Install the Baby List Button. It's super easy and they have a clever gif to help you do it. You simply click and drag the "ADD TO BABYLIST" button up to the bookmark bar of your browser. If you don't have that turned on, BabyList includes instructions to enable it for the browser you're using. (Note: Mozilla Firefox users: If you don't have a menu at the top of your screen that includes "View" you can add a bookmark toolbar by clicking on the three bars next to the web address bar, choosing "customize" and at the bottom of the screen, choosing "bookmark toolbar" from the "toolbar" dropdown menu.)
3. Build your registry!
   • Navigate to any website that sells baby products. Try here.
   • When you find an item you like, click the "Add to babylist" link in the toolbar and it will automatically be added to your registry. You can sign back into Babylist.com to view everything you've added.
   • Have fun picking the items that will best suit your growing family!
