We know there are certain essentials that every baby registry needs: a trustworthy car seat, a safe place to put down baby, a great set of bottles, a diaper pail (bonus points if it seals in smells and is easy to open with one hand). All of these items are known must-haves when it comes to rounding out your buybuyBaby registry. If building a baby registry is one more overwhelming task on an ever-growing list of things to do before the baby arrives, we are sharing some of our favorites to help narrow down the list.
buybuyBaby makes it as easy as possible for you to find the right registry essentials for baby. For first-time parents creating a registry, buybuyBaby makes it easy to get everything you need in one place with extra savings benefits like a 15% completion discount. Plus, for the bigger-ticket items like car seats, strollers, and baby swings, any items over $100 are automatically available for “group gifting,” meaning family and friends can easily go in together on items you really want!
These 10 items below are the ones our editors stand behind.
Dock-a-Tot
I can personally attest that my son spent a good amount of his first few months in this incredible invention! The Dock-a-Tot was fairly new then, but now, moms know that it's a life-saver for keeping baby relaxed safely (supervised) on any surface. Many colors and patterns available.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies sleep on their back on a flat, firm surface, like in a crib or bassinet.
Hatch Baby
With more than 5,000 reviews on buybuyBaby's site, most parents can agree that this trusty sound machine and nightlight combo is a must-have for any little one.
Evenflo Gold
It's no surprise that you need to choose the right car seat ASAP. Evenflo Gold's 360-rotating version will grow with baby through toddlerhood.
Dr. Brown's
Having at least one set of good bottles on hand is essential. This set helped my little guy who had a good amount of gas in the early months.
Ship Hop
A playmat that is as pretty as it is developmentally appropriate? Sign us right up!
BabyBjörn
As any mom will tell you, a bouncer is going to be your best friend the first year. There's a reason BabyBjörn is a household name. Plus, this one comes with an attachment toy bar to entertain baby.

4Moms
Another great place to set baby down is a trusty swing. With an app that can control the swing's motions from your phone, this one is as fun for baby as it is easy for you.
4Moms
Playards are a must for newborns but even more as baby grows. They double as a travel crib and, when filled with toys, a great self-contained play space.
Baby Patent
A digital scale and baby bathtub in one, this smart device is one of those things you never knew you really needed!
Ubbi
Trust us, you won't argue the merits of a really good diaper pail. The Ubbi is made of sturdy steel and fits standard-size kitchen bags, and its rubber seals keep odors locked in.
