Here you go soon to be moms! The Best Places to Register for Baby!  Everyone talks about what to register for your baby.  What the latest and greatest ultimate baby gear is (even me). Check out my Ultimate Registry list here! Hardly anyone talks about WHERE to register.  I personally think the 2 best are Target and Amazon.  I wish I knew what Amazon had to offer when I was pregnant.  I didn’t even sign up for Prime until my baby was 3 months old. Yup, newbie mistake!  I was trying to figure out how other moms juggled it all and Prime became the answer.  Live and learn.  Not an Amazon Prime member? Visit https://www.amazon.com/family to join.  It truly makes a difference from saving money to overall convenience.

So here are The Best Places to Register for Baby! Target and Amazon.  I registered at Target and Babies “R” Us, when I was pregnant.  My reason for no longer endorsing Babies “R” Us, is mainly because they had to close almost 180 stores. The one near me was one of them. Total let down.  Having at least one store (Target) to be not online is important.  Why??  You will need/want a store, not just to set up your nursery, but somewhere you will continue to shop for your baby AFTER baby has arrived.  Target and Amazon are not going anywhere. They are very stable companies!

The perks with registering at Target are:

• They give you a welcome gift bag with lots of useful goodies (register in person).
• You can manage your register online at  24/7.
• Eight weeks prior to the big day, get a 15% discount on anything left on your registry. (Restrictions apply).
• Easy returns! You have up to one year after your event date to return or exchange items from your registry.  Some people get you items NOT on your registry. If Aunt Susie gets you a diaper bag that was not on your registry and you actually like it better than the one you did register for (that your BFF bought you) Guess what you can return it and buy diapers instead.  Stuff like this does happen!

With Amazon’s Baby Registry, you can add items from Earth’s biggest selection, get free 90-day returns on most items, and manage your registry on any device whenever—and wherever—you want.  Still not an Amazon Prime member? Visit https://www.amazon.com/family to join.

Here are the perks for registering with Amazon:

• Universal Registry- Which means you can save products from any website to your Registries or Lists.
• Over 270,000 baby items.
• Free 2 day shipping for Prime members
• They have a completion discount.  This is super awesome!!  The completion discount is a one-time discount on select remaining items (shipped and sold by seller Amazon.com) from your registry and is available to redeem 60 days before your child’s arrival date. The discount can be used once for an order of up to $5000.00 USD. The discount can only be redeemed by the primary registrant.

 You will receive a 10% Discount, or up to 15% if you are an Amazon Prime member, compliments of Amazon Family. How do I get a 15% completion discount? To be eligible for a 15% completion discount, you need to be an Amazon Prime member. (Life will be easier if you become a Prime member) If you are an Amazon Student or you are receiving the Prime Shipping benefit from another customer, you will need to upgrade your Prime membership to become eligible for the 15% completion discount.

How does my Completion Discount work?

You will be eligible to redeem the discount 60 days prior to your child’s arrival date (this is the arrival date you have indicated on your registry). *Please note there is a minimum 14 day wait period after you create a registry to be eligible, regardless of the arrival date you have indicated.

Once eligible, a message will appear at the top of your registry directing you to your completion discount view. Any items that appear in this view are eligible for the discount and must be added to your cart from this view. The discount will then be applied at checkout.

Your discount can only be used once. All items you intend to buy with your completion discount have to be purchased at the same time.

• You can share your list! Click on the “Share with Friends” tab located at the top of your baby registry. An e-mail form that contains a direct link to your baby registry can be filled out to send to one person or an entire group of people.

Hope this makes for picking where to register for your baby much easier! Enjoy some of those perks!
