TOP-RATED BABY REGISTRY
With the coming arrival of our sweet baby, I have been on the search for all the top-rated baby registry items. As I was researching all over the internet and looking for the best baby goods, I realized that I am surrounded by an incredible community of mamas with insight and wisdom of all the baby registry items they love and can’t live without.
After reaching out those those mamas through texts and social media, I’m overwhelmed with all the love for our sweet babe and over 100 mamas sharing their tips, tricks, and must-have baby things that have been so helpful in building our very own baby registry and preparing for this sweet baby’s arrival. I have shared 20 baby registry categories with the top three brands within each category (along with any other advice given from those mamas in regards to each category).
We are using Babylist for our baby registry, and I would highly recommend this baby registry platform. If you haven’t started your registry, head on over to Babylist, download the Add to Babylist button in your bookmarks, and all you have to do is click the Add to Babylist button for each item on the Top-Rated Baby Registry items below.
CAR SEATS
Chicco – KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat
UPPA Baby – Mesa Car Seat
Nuna – Pipa Car Seat
Notes : Invest in buying two car seat bases for multiple vehicles. Be sure to research the compatibility of the car seat and stroller combination you select.
STROLLERS
BOB Gear® Revolution® Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller
Baby Jogger® City Select® Stroller
UPPAbaby® VISTA V2 Stroller
Notes : Look for a convertible stroller that goes from the infant to toddler stage. Three wheel strollers are great for jogging.
CRIBS
IKEA
Pottery Barn
Wayfair
Notes : Look for convertible cribs that go from the infant to toddler stage. The Newton Crib Mattress is a great addition to any crib.
BABY MONITORS
Infant Optics – Baby Monitor
Owlet Smart Sock – Baby Monitor
Google Nest Cam – Baby Monitor
Notes : Look for baby monitors that have a screen. You will have to decide if you would like a baby monitor that only uses WiFi or connects to your phone using data.
BOTTLES
Dr. Brown’s Bottle Set
Comotomo Baby Bottles
Philips Avent Natural Glass Baby Bottle
Notes : Glass bottles are chemical-free and easy to clean. The baby will often decide which bottle they prefer, having options to start or borrowing different bottles is a great idea. Wait to see what your baby loves before investing into more bottles. The Babylist Bottle Box is a great registry item to try different bottles with your baby. Here are a couple of great options for Baby Bottle Drying Racks – Neutral Drying Rack & Grass Drying Rack.
BIBS & BURP CLOTHES
Copper Pearl – Bibs & Burp Clothes
Mushie Silicone Baby Bib
Bapron Baby
Notes : With newborns, there will likely be lots of spit up, so plan to buy cheap burp cloths and lots of them (including cloth diaper inserts and white cheesecloths). Bibs are also great for drooling babies. Look for bibs with buttons, as the velcro can scratch the baby’s neck. Plastic bibs for feeding times are perfect for easy cleaning.
DIAPERS
Pampers Pure Diapers & Pampers Swaddlers Diapers
Honest Diapers
Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers
Notes : Diapers are dependent on each individual baby, try out a few diapers and see what works best for your baby. Look for scent-free and clean ingredients. Get a variety of sizes to be prepared for your baby.
WIPES
Pampers Aqua Pure Wipes
Target Baby Wipes
Honest Baby Wipes
Notes : Natural and unscented wipes are the best for the health of each baby’s skin. Try different wipes with your baby to see what works best for them.
CREAMS
Organic Diaper Balm by Earth Mama
Tubby Todd’s All Over Ointment
Aquaphor
BATHTUBS
Puj Tub
Fisher-Price 4-in-1 Sling ‘n Seat Tub

Tubby Todd Basics Bath Set
Notes : If you are concerned about the ingredients in shampoos and soaps, try making your own.

HIGH CHAIRS
Ikea High Chair & Ikea High Chair Accessories
Stokke Tripp Trapp ® High Chair
Joovy New Nook High Chair
Notes : The high chair will get dirty quickly and likely won’t last long with all the wear and tear of the baby – there are advantages to a cheaper high chair. Portable high chairs are a great option.
