Baby Registry Tips

I didn't know about baby registries until I was pregnant with my daughter, but since I like the surprise involved in opening presents, I never put a list together. Lately, it seems like more and more stores are registry ready. From Pottery Barn Kids [1] to Babies "R" Us [2], and Giggle [3] to Britax Boulevard Car Seat [4] — Since you can't drive around with baby without one, I recommend this one ($299) that provides side impact protection for children who are 5 to 65 lbs.

Nano Highchair [5] — I have an old-fashioned wooden highchair, but after cleaning all the nooks and crannies after each meal, I'd much prefer The Nano ($180). It's simple design looks easy to wipe down and you can fold it up to store between feedings.

Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper [6] —My son leaped like crazy in this brightly colored musical contraption ($80) until he walked at 10 months.

Baby Einstein Neptune Ocean Environment Play Gym [7]—Baby can travel under the sea during tummy time and play with plush aquatic friends on this mat ($70).

Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing [8] — This swing ($100) lulled both my kids to sleep and was light enough to move around the house so I could keep an eye on them while I tidied up or showered.
