Babylist Baby Registry Reviews

by Willbyrne2791

I’ll say that for purposes of the registry BabylistBabyRegistry is good, but I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied when it comes to using our gift certificates to order stuff. It takes up to and in some case OVER A MONTH. Needless to say it’s a problem when you order something for a baby and don’t get it for a month. This has happened several times now and I’m at the point where I don’t recommend BabylistBabyRegistry. There are plenty of other apps out there. Basically they’ve gotten their money, and they drag their feet to send you anything when you try to use the credit you have. It’s dishonest and it’s bad business. For our second my wife and I will look elsewhere (although who knows, by the time we get our stuff from Babylist we may well have already had our second). Terrible. Would not recommend to anyone who wants anything delivered before their child starts high school.

BabylistBabyRegistry itself is pretty nice and easy. However DO NOT order from there website!! It is the absolute worst customer service I have ever received! I ordered a high chair and it took weeks to get it. They never sent me a confirmation email so I assumed the package was not sent and I ordered from another website. I emailed the company to cancel the order and they sent me a cancel email back, than emailed me again and said it was still being sent. They didn’t apologize ONCE for messing up!!!!!! They could of said sorry instead they said it will take 3-5 days to mail it back to them than 3-5 days for them to process AND 10 days for the refund to go to the card. That’s 20 business days for anyone counting. The worst part I emailed them back about it (her name was Heather Bond FYI) and they (she) ignored everything I said! I have a credit there and I do NOT even want to use it because of how terrible they reacted to the entire situation!!!!!

Babylist app pros: Having one baby registry with items from multiple stores.
Cons: Small variety, most, IF not all items are very high priced, always out of stock, & Babylist gift cards are ONLY for Babylist store. That would be understandable if I had a wider selection to choose from and if the items were restocked sooner.
I received $200 worth in baby list gift cards and it has sadly been a complete waste! I was excited thinking I’d be able to purchase the rest of the items left on my registry but I quickly found out it was only Babylist items. I was very disappointed after I realized that they did not have most of the items I needed. I have only been able to purchase two small items because the few other things that my LO needed have been out of stock and have not been restocked for a couple weeks now. Other items have been removed from site.
Since gift cards are strictly Babylist items it would be very convenient if we were provided with a bigger selection of affordable items and it'd be helpful if items were restocked quicker.

BabylistBabyRegistry is not really good, the hello box is not free, they make you pay for it by paying $10 in shipping even if you are buying something. Then you get charged 6$ minimum for shipping if you don’t spend 50$. Almost everything is super expensive on BabylistBabyRegistry . Even for a 10$ item you will end up paying 20$ for it. 15% only seems to apply to the baby list. Literally almost everything on BabylistBabyRegistry is around $50 or more. It’s supposed to be helpful not try to sell you stuff at a higher rate. You’re better off buying baby stuff from Ross and DD’s. The same baby bottles that were on BabylistBabyRegistry for 30$ were at Ross for 16$. Not worth the time to try to find cheaper stuff on BabylistBabyRegistry. Clothing come in packs that are either 30$ for like two shirts or 100$ for a few items. Do your shopping in stores cause this is too expensive, especially because you will need money for the baby in the future. You don’t want to spend everything on your baby right now when you can easily get the same products else where for less. Do not recommend BabylistBabyRegistry.

This is the worst app that I have ever used. Babylist would write an email occasionally notifying us about price changes, but Babylist never notified us when items on our registry sold out or were no longer available. We had to delete and add new items weeks after realizing that the items were no longer available. Additionally, Babylist allowed people to reserve an item never having purchased it! So anyone else who looked at the registry thought that the items were not available. We ended up buying so many items on our own registry because our guests thought that the items were not available. To add insult to injury it currently says that 47 out of 47 items on my registry were purchased when clearly only 45 out of 47 items were purchased. The high chair and and are marked on th registry as being available yet Babylist tells anyone who visits our registry that all gifts were already purchased! BabylistBabyRegistry has so many problems. I definitely do not recommend Babylist app!

Your “15% completion discount” is bogus. This so called discount comes ONLY from the “Baby List Store.” To top it off, of all my items, only 4 qualified, and 2 are out of stock from the Baby List store. I am so mad I deleted my other registries and did everything here. Also, people always “reserve” things but then don’t go back to purchase, so then other people can’t buy them! I am not going to contact my friends and family and say, “Hey, did you purchase this? Oh you didn’t? Can you unreserve it so other people can purchase it?” Also a tip, if you do decide to go with Baby List I suggesting deleting the Baby List Store gift card option that they automatically put on your registry, because like I said above, the store has barely anything and you can’t use the gift card anywhere else! Your guests would never ever assume that. I feel like this practice is so wrong of BL. Only giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because their customer service was quick to respond via email... even though they were unable to solve the issue 😒

I did like that you can search for whatever item you want to add from any store & consolidate everything on one complete list. However, it was very difficult for guests to checkout especially if they wanted to buy multiple items that were at different stores. They had to checkout for each site separately & also had to pay shipping through EACH site. A lot of people tried to search for items at the same store to avoid this which would’ve been the same as if I found one store to do one registry. I also noticed that they would email me the price change list but several items would show as one price on babylist site but once they redirect you to the actual store site to purchase, the item would be a completely different price. This also deterred guests from buying certain things because they anticipated one price but then saw another on the store site. Not convenient enough to use ever again

by Hellonoelle

It’s easy and great to use but a lot of my guests had issues using it such as wanting to purchase multiple items and having to complete 3 different check outs. Also when buying multiple items from the same store the cart would empty when they would add the item from each of the pop ups Babylist pulls up when an item is selected. I’m starting to end up with texts and calls asking if they can just send money or give a gift card because they wanted to get a few items but thought that Babylist wasn’t easy for them to use in the sense that it kept redirecting them and they just had to check out like 6 different times which I could COMPLETELY understand as being annoying. I really liked BabylistBabyRegistry and was hoping that it would be a great way to consolidate my gift registry but now I feel bad and a little bummed that this being my first baby and people can’t get the items I want so we’re just getting money and gift cards to these places. Or just items that we didn’t ask for because it was easier to buy than to use the registry. Should’ve rethought this from the gift givers perspective before using it. :(

I love the idea of being able to have one registry with options to buy in whatever store you choose! My issue is that people can “reserve” or “mark purchased” on items that they never actually buy which means it looks like someone has gotten it for you when they never did. It is kind of awkward to say “hey did you buy me this? I never received it”.
There should be an option for the registry owner to take it out of reserved mode so as to make it appear available for others to buy.
You only get access to tracking info if it is purchased on the Babylist website but they should allow tracking info for other orders as well.... I have had items that have been reserved for months but I do not actually know if I will get them which can be difficult when planning for baby! If they could rectify these issues I would give 5 stars!

I love the fact that I can do everything on one list, keep it organized and people can compare prices easily. The problem I found after having a baby shower, is that a lot of people did not use the Registry because it seemed online only, the only way they would know they could buy stuff in store is by actually viewing my Registry and me putting a note at the top that they could buy certain items at target, etc. So I ended up with a lot of things I did not need, or did not want just because this is my third child and I already know what works, and what does not. Not only that, I ended up with some double items as well, and some people reserved items on my list but I never got them. So now I don't know if I should remove the reservation or not. Had I to do it over again I probably would just register at a couple different big stores and deal with two registries.

I’m a young, first time mom. So of course I had no idea what kind of products to trust, or things I needed. I needed a way to help organize everything that I needed to buy for my baby. The thing about Babylist is, it’s great for that. It’s great at giving plenty of ideas and exploring any site you want, to decide which products are best and most needed. BUT, I have noticed, Babylist has a priority of really making you feel like you need the most expensive items from their store. I mean they’ll really shove it in your face constantly. “Baby Essentials” for Babylist included a $300 crib sheet set? Yeah right. We moms wanna save money! But Babylist seems to constantly be whispering in your ear “yes pay $200 for a baby gym yes” wow look I really did turn into a mother, writing reviews now. Anyways, it is a fun app. I love to scroll through my list and love that other people can see it too. The advertisement for its own Babylist store just stresses me out sometimes

I love the idea of not having to choose one specific place to register, so this is such a great idea. I haven’t gotten a ton of feedback from family or friends so I’m assuming they’re liking it, but there have been a few older family members a tad confused on navigating it.
I like being able to see what’s been reserved and bought and by who, but I made the mistake of telling one person that that information is available to me and they weren’t happy with that. Needless to say I’ll be acting surprised at our shower with the other guests.
I REALLY wish there was a notes spot at the top to leave any information that would be good for guests to know. I also wish there was a way to indicate items that are more important for us to get. I ended up asterisk-ing items and putting them in “general” so they’d be at the top, hoping people would get it.

I would have liked for there to be away for my family and friends to be able to purchase all the items with one checkout but can understand how that’s not possible right now. But think it would be really cool in the future for them to be able to find a way to link that somehow. Also I might have to write up a little slip explaining how to use this registry the best and most efficient way and add it to my invites. Such as telling them they can shop for these items in store if desired but just to make sure to mark it as purchased on the registry.
On the positive side this registry is wonderful! I have always been one to love all the little “mom” shops for lactation bars and natural lactation supplements along with all the cute baby boutiques.😍 Now instead of thinking I’ll have to purchase them to get them I have a registry I can add all those great mommy things and adorable items from as many stores as I desire! All in one place. Definitely worth it. I have one other registry for other items needed and have made this registry a compilation of pricier fun things along with needed items. I’ve really enjoyed the experience.

I’ll never know how she came across from Babylist but my sister’s youngest is 8 years old. She recommended BabylistBabyRegistry and I am forever grateful. BabylistBabyRegistry isn’t just a registry app that you download... No, you are downloading articles, other parent’s stories, and even the “what to do if...” newsletters. Babylist even sends you weekly emails, if you sign up for it, about any price changes to the items that you add onto your registry. That’s a plus! BabylistBabyRegistry comes with live people to chat with to help you with literally any question you have. Believe me, I’m a first time mom... I want multiple resources to answer my question instead of just listening to one. And they give will give them to you. I’m only 26 weeks pregnant, and despite being worried every now and then, BabylistBabyRegistry has helped me through a lot. From reading comforting notes that they leave you every few days, to looking at neat little videos to remind myself that I can do this!
So, whoever’s reading this review, download BabylistBabyRegistry. You will be proud you did.

I got BabylistBabyRegistry about 1 to 2 weeks ago. I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. When I first got it it didn’t work. I was fine with that I figured it would work when I was further along. The other day I fainted. I went to the hospital and they found what they believe may be bleeding in the gestational sack. While I know the baby is okay (got an ultrasound and were able to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler), I’ve been using BabylistBabyRegistry obsessively because I’m terrified that something may happen. Today it worked and I was able to hear my baby’s heartbeat clearly. I know this can’t tell me if something is wrong and won’t help in a medical situation, it gives me peace of mind to know I can use BabylistBabyRegistry to check on him when I feel anxious.

I’m due Aug2019 with my second (1st kiddo is 11 y.o., though, so it’s been awhile), and BabylistBabyRegistry is awesome! It’s super user-friendly and I can add any item from any website to my registry, which I love! It’s so easy to add and delete items as you wish, and I love the price comparison of the same item across sites so that buyers can get the best deal! Everything is categorized, and as people begin to purchase items, you can select to see what’s still available. I also use it as kind of a “wish list”, because I don’t actually expect that everything listed will be purchased, but it’s a great place to store all the cute things I’ll want to have for the baby. Highly recommend!

BabylistBabyRegistry is amazing! You can add stores that are not mainstream to really create something more about your families specific needs, wants, and personalities.

I recently used it to get my friend’s gifts for her baby shower. You can reserve the gift online before buying it and then go back later to type in the number. If you somehow forget the items number, they have an option for that too! Absolutely no stress! I loved seeing that I could purchase her headbands from a special Business that she would have otherwise not have been able to put into any other baby registry. Again, allows you to really personalize it and add even special wants such as a fund for a doula, babysitting, dog walking, etc.

Great and addicting app!

I’m not sure why anyone would use any other baby registry other than Babylist. Aside from being pretty awesome its so convenient. I love that you can add to the registry from pretty much any store, shop, boutique or website. This is particular great for me because I tend not to like a lot of the baby stuff that’s out there at all the major department stores. I also don’t believe that pink and blue should be my only options for color. You can add everything you need to Babylist and it’ll list all the stores it’s available at along with its pricing. So you and your family and friends can choose where you’d like to purchase from. Aside from that there are other things you can add to the registry like a diaper fund, daycare fund & you can even put on your registry that you’ll accept hand me downs.

I just happened to stumble upon BabylistBabyRegistry when I first started putting together my baby registry and I’m so glad I found it! I hate being tied down to just a few stores when it comes to registering as I like a lot of items from different places. Which is one of the things I love about BabylistBabyRegistry. It lets you search from any store you want and add it to your registry. It’s the best!

I also love BabylistBabyRegistry because I am a big fan of having everything in one convenient spot. I don’t have to go between 2 registries and those looking at my registry don’t have to either (BabylistBabyRegistry does allow you to link other registries, though. So you can still have everything in one spot, which is great).

Overall I think BabylistBabyRegistry is the best! I’m not picky when it comes to a lot of things, so just having an app that has allowed me to have everything in one place and add whatever I want from any store has been the greatest thing! Simple to use and convenient! Would definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved BabylistBabyRegistry for my baby registry! It was super easy and convenient to add items from any store to one registry for friends and family. I loved seeing the items people bought along the way, it was super tempting to see who purchased items on your registry because it will show you in “more details” however that’s great for AFTER when you need to send thank you cards- it reminds you of who got you specific gifts. It’s easy to share your registry with friends and family via direct link directly to your registry or BabyList will send you FREE registry cards for you to pass out or add to your baby shower invitation. I would highly recommend BabylistBabyRegistry to anyone looking to make it easier for friends & family to purchase items for you!

Using this as a registry was exciting and fun because you have every store & every item at your fingertips to add to your list versus having multiple registries....So I just had my baby shower- here is the MAJOR downfall- people can “reserve” items without purchasing them and never “release” them. In the end I had major items that had been “reserved” and not available for anyone else to purchase, and now I don’t have them because that person never actually bought it. Frustrating bc people then went off my registry to get items and now I have to return them to get what I really needed. I feel that items should only be “reserved” for a 24 hour period before they are released. Just my opinion :)

Everything about BabylistBabyRegistry is genius! I'm in my seventh month and I haven't set foot in a Buy Buy Baby store or any other crazy huge store that's all about baby stuff. I relied on Babylist because it provides you with a lot of information on what you will need, may need, don't really need, price ranges, etc.
Of course I was overwhelmed at first with the number of products there are out there but once I stuck to a certain brand, everything was easy.
So glad Babylist was advertised on my Pinterest board because I love how you can add anything from any website! I've told friends about this and majority have never heard of Babylist and now they're using it for their registries!
LOVE LOVE LOVE.

My list is not available to the public yet but I read some of the reviews about the multiple checkouts and instead made my categories by store rather than product type! That way guests can shop by a preferred store and keep their purchases in one place if they wish. I also use the “description” section to list the color or specific product or to mention that the product is also listed under another store or if coupons are available. This is even great for those planning to become pregnant that want to keep track of products they are learning about.

by Britt4Broncos

I used this website with my first baby and it made it so easy. I’m not sure if they had BabylistBabyRegistry then, but this pregnancy they (obviously) do and I love it! It did easy for my to go in and add things and check in my registries. All stores sell different items and different brands, so it’s so hard to register at only one location. This makes it way easier on me and anyone that wants to buy us a gift! I especially love being able to write little notes and reminders to people on the site as well. So far, haven’t heard of anyone having issues navigating! This is so great. I recommend it to everyone!

BabylistBabyRegistry has made my baby registry life sooo much easier. This is my first child and I had no clue where to start or what to do, until I found BabylistBabyRegistry :)) you can add any other registry’s you’ve already started to this one. Once you register your account in BabylistBabyRegistry , Baby list will send you a SUPER helpful Magazine/guide in the mail! You can shop in BabylistBabyRegistry on the Baby list store or any other story and easily add it to registry. It will also help you organize everything into categories (nursery, diapering, clothes, bath time, etc.) I highly highly recommend BabylistBabyRegistry! It will help you out tremendously <3 ENJOY!!!
