Benefits of Amazon’s Baby Registry
1. HUGE Selection
It’s no secret that Amazon has millions of products to choose from, so take advantage of that inventory and get the best of the best products all in one place.
Don’t stop at just baby care items – Amazon has everything you need for mom too, like postpartum supplies, nursing apparel, and breastfeeding accessories.
2. Universal Registry
If you have your heart set on an item from a store other than Amazon, you can install a button on your browser – trust me, it’s super simple – to add it to your Amazon Baby Registry.
3. Easy Returns
Their return policy beats any other that I’ve ever seen – 365 days from shipment to return an item. Seriously – a whole year! If you’re not sure you’ll use something, don’t take the tags off and return it if it goes unused.
4. Completion Discount
HUGE savings! You’ll receive a one-time 10% discount (15% for Prime members) on select items. You can read all about this benefit here. Bottom line – I waited until after my baby shower to see what was left on my registry, which is when I bought everything left on it and got it all 15% off (on top of reduced prices).
TIP: Add any last-minute baby finds to your registry before you use your completion discount. You’ll get a discount on those items too. I told you – HUGE savings!
5. FREE Welcome Box
Qualifying customers receive this FREE Welcome Box with products valued up to $35! I loooove free stuff. You do have to meet a few qualifications: Amazon Prime member, have at least one item from each of the checklist categories on your registry, and someone (you or other) must make a minimum $10 purchase from the registry.
If you don’t already have an Amazon Prime Membership, get a FREE 30-day trial today!
We use our Prime membership for buying everything in our lives, but we found it especially helpful in the early newborn days when we needed something quickly for baby but didn’t want to leave the house.
>> Order something from our Baby Registry Checklist to help get you the FREE Welcome Box.
6. Exclusive Prime Offers
If you are already a Prime member, like I was when I created my baby registry, you can still qualify for exclusive offers from Amazon! They provide limited-time offers to Prime members and are always adding new goodies to the mix!
7. Diaper Discount
You can unlock 20% off on all diapers shipped and sold by Amazon.com once a minimum of $500 is purchased from your baby registry. You can save up to $300!
**For Newborn and size 1, I swear by Pampers Swaddlers for baby’s sensitive little bum. However, we did transition to Target brand diapers when he reached size 2. We were super happy with both!

8. Other Benefits
Amazon’s Baby Registry dashboard is full of other features to make your life easier!
- Thank You Notes – Amazon keeps track of who sends you each gift. You can keep track of to who you send a thank you note in this convenient portal.
- Diaper Fund – anyone can donate money to you through Amazon with the purpose of being used for the many, many, many diapers you will need to buy. Did I say the many diapers?
- Group Contribution Gifts – Amazon allows anyone to “contribute” toward a gift on your registry (i.e. not purchase the whole gift themselves). This is especially useful for higher-priced items or people who want to go in on a gift together, like co-workers.
- Inspiration Guides – Not sure what to add to your registry? Amazon has plenty of Inspiration Guides ready to show you trends, most popular registry items, and ideas for every theme imaginable!

How to Create an Amazon Baby Registry
1. Go to the Amazon Baby Registry page, where you will enter a variety of information to get started.
2. You will be asked to provide the following information: name, address, and expected arrival date, plus you can set a few features, like if you want to keep your registry private for now or allow people to give you gift cards (yes!).
3. Start adding products! Amazon makes this process super easy: add items from Amazon’s convenient registry checklist, their Ideas & Inspiration guides, or simply search for your own products on Amazon.

4. Install the Universal Registry button, which allows you to add any item from any website to your Amazon Baby Registry. On the off chance that Amazon doesn’t already have the item you want, the Universal Registry button has you covered.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I was very pleased with Amazon Baby Registry and would highly recommend it to every soon-to-be mama.
The only reservation I had about using Amazon for my baby registry was that some people, like my grandparents, didn’t have internet access.
However, this ended up being a non-issue because they all knew someone close to them who ordered the gift on their behalf.
Not only was using Amazon Baby Registry super easy and convenient for me, but it was also a wonderfully easy experience for our friends and family too.
10/10 would recommend!
