Babylist review

Babylist is a universal registry: parents add products from any online store, and guests buy each item wherever it is listed. Its own Babylist Shop carries over 8 thousand items and gives registry owners 15% off, applied automatically in the cart from 60 days before the expected arrival date until 90 days after it. The discount applies to order value up to $4,000, for a maximum saving of $600 per registry, which is double the $300 cap at Amazon and Zola Baby. The registry must be active for at least 30 days first, and the discount excludes gift cards, shipping and brands such as Nuna, Cradlewise and Guava Family. The Hello Baby Box is a free box of samples, but parents must add three items from other stores, complete 40% of the checklist, reach $30 of Babylist Shop purchases and pay $8.95 plus tax for shipping. Babylist Health can also arrange a breast pump through insurance. The main trade-off is that the discount does nothing for items bought at other retailers.
