Why an online baby registry?
When a baby is announced, everyone wants to give a lovely gift. Without a registry, questions pile up and so do duplicates: several newborn-size bodysuits, two night lights, no car seat. An online registry answers these questions once and for all, and everyone can check it whenever they like.
Unlike registries offered by a single shop, a multi-store registry lets you choose each item wherever you like: a big baby shop, an independent designer, a second-hand shop or a local store. Your loved ones buy where they want, at the price they find.
When should you create your baby registry?
Most parents start their registry around the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy, once the second-trimester scan is done. That gives you time to compare, visit shops and ask friends and family for advice.
Ideally, share it two months before the due date: your loved ones can order calmly, and big items like the pushchair or the cot are delivered before the baby arrives. You can always add to it after the birth, once your real needs become clearer.
The steps to create your registry
It all takes just a few minutes, from a computer or a phone:
- Give your registry a name: the baby's first name if you've chosen it, or simply “Baby Martin”.
- Add what you'd like by pasting a product link: the name, price and photo fill in automatically.
- Add any useful details: size, colour, exact model, “second-hand welcome”.
- Open group gifting for big items, so everyone can contribute according to their budget.
- Share the link by message, e-mail or in your birth announcement: your loved ones can reserve a gift without creating an account.

Group gifting for big items
Pushchair, car seat, cot bed, baby carrier: these items often make up most of the budget. With group gifting, each person indicates how much they're contributing, and the organiser can see who's on board to plan accordingly. Grandparents, friends or colleagues can then come together to offer a truly useful gift.
Contributions stay between your loved ones: the site does not collect any payment. The organiser then buys the gift from the shop of their choice.
Avoiding duplicates without spoiling the surprise
Each person reserves the item they plan to give. The gift then appears as reserved to others, which avoids duplicates. Reserving is neither a purchase nor a payment: the person then orders it wherever they like.
Would you rather discover the gifts at the maternity ward? Turn on surprise mode: you'll no longer see what's reserved, while your loved ones still can.
A registry that grows with your baby
A baby registry isn't set in stone. Once your baby arrives, you'll discover your real needs: a second changing bag, a footmuff for winter, clothes in 3-month size. Simply add them: the registry updates for everyone.
Also think ahead to the following months: high chair, first developmental toys, fabric books. A well-kept registry often lasts right up to the first birthday.
