Your First Baby Registry? Baby Essentials Made for Growing Families

Your first baby registry? Baby essentials made for growing families

Tip: It helps to think long-term

This article is sponsored by Ergobaby. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Motherly and mamas.

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…

$199+

Preferred 2 to 1 by parents* and it’s easy to see why. From a newborn bouncer to a toddler chair, the Evolve™ 3-in-1 Bouncer cradles your little one through every growth spurt with soft, breathable and washable cushions. For newborns, the right kind of support is really key—so it’s reassuring to know the newborn insert included with this bouncer was designed by a pediatric orthopedist to provide ergonomic support that prevents flat head syndrome and is good for hips. In fact, over 70% of parents agree it offers the best newborn support*. When you need to get it out of the way, the bouncer folds flat for easy storage.

2. Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair

•

$349

This 3-in-1 high chair is ingeniously designed to grow with your little one as their interests and curiosity grows, too! It starts as an ergonomic high chair that securely keeps your baby in place while they explore their first solid foods. And, heads up, that can be a messy process—so it helps that the clean lines and dishwasher-safe tray are easy to sanitize. When the time is right, you can convert the high chair to an elevated toddler seat to give them a view of the table. But, perhaps the coolest thing is that the Evolve high chair can also transform into a kitchen helper tower. Ready to store it? The Evolve™ 3-in-1 High Chair folds flat.
