If you’re expecting a baby, you are likely quite aware of the difference between must-do tasks and want-to-do tasks. For most soon-to-be parents, creating a baby registry falls firmly in the latter category. Finding products and imagining the day you’ll use them with your little one is such a special experience. 

The only complicating factor when creating your baby registry is deciding what exactly should make the list. This is where it helps to think long-term about your wants, needs and plans. 

Do you have a care plan for as your baby grows into a toddler?

Do you travel often and need gear that is easy to take along?

Do you have limited storage space?

Do you hope to add siblings to the mix within the next few years?

By proactively asking yourself these questions, you will be well on your way to registering for the gear that truly works best for your family—when your baby arrives and into the future. It also helps to learn which baby companies have similar objectives. 

Case and point: Ergobaby’s mission is to put comfort first without ever compromising function and quality. The products are even brilliantly designed to grow with your baby from the newborn days through toddlerhood—and with the ErgoPromise™ Lifetime Guarantee. In other words, when you add Ergobaby items to your first baby registry, you’re also saving yourself the time and expense of getting key gear essentials down the road.  

These gear essentials will grow with your family well into the future…
