"When you become a mom, at some point you likely will wonder what your own mother did without Amazon Prime, grocery store delivery, or video baby monitors. A lot has changed since we were kids and even in the few years since I had a newborn baby cradled in one arm and a toddler hanging on the other.
Because your registry isn’t just a checklist, we’re here to help you choose what’s best for you. From moms and experts who have been through it all, these are our winners for The Everymom’s 2025 Baby Registry Awards.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the fact kids are expensive, so we rounded up 20 baby essentials each under $30—with a few under $10—you can find on Amazon or other budget-friendly retailers.
