Amazon Baby Registry Questions
1. How to Make a Baby Registry?
You can create a baby registry with many online retailers like Target and Best Buy but Amazon provides the best opportunity to create a universal baby registry.
With a universal baby registry, you can add products for 100s of online retailers to your baby registry.
To make a baby registry on Amazon, head over to the step-by-step guide HERE.
2. How Do I Find Someone’s Amazon Baby Registry?
To find someone’s baby registry on Amazon, go over to the Baby Registry page HERE.
You can perform a simple search with the person’s name or a more advanced search, which includes the city, state, and arrival date of the baby.
Note if the registrant has set their list to private, you will not be able to find it. You need to request the link from the expecting parents to access the registry.
3. Where Can I Find a Free Baby Registry Checklist?
The Amazon Baby Registry account also includes a free checklist.
The checklist lets you know what should be in the baby registry and if you’re missing any essential mom and baby items.
4. What is the Amazon Baby Registry Welcome Box?
The welcome box is accessible to expectant parents once a purchase of $10 has been made from the baby registry list and at least 10 items have been added to your registry.
The baby registry welcome box contains awesome items valued at approximately $35. Only members of Amazon Prime qualify for a welcome box.
5. Does Amazon Give Discounts on Baby Registry?
Amazon Prime members are eligible for discounts a few days after the baby registry is set up.
The discounts are on a rotating basis and include freebies and discounts on maternity items.
6. How Can I Get Free Baby Stuff?
When you register for the Amazon baby registry under your Prime membership and set up your registry list, you’ll be eligible for freebies and discounts.
In addition to the freebies and discounts, you will also receive a free welcome box once a purchase of $10 has been made from the registry list.
These offers usually apply to Prime Members only. You can start a free Amazon Prime membership HERE.
Can You Return Registry Gifts for Cash?
You can return baby registry gifts from the “Thank you list & returns” section under your account.
Gifts purchased by others from your registry can be returned within 365 days while gifts purchased by the registry owner can be returned within 90 days.
However, a gift cannot be returned for cash. You will receive an Amazon.com Gift Card in place of cash in your account once the return is received.
The value of the gift card is equal to the value of the gift assuming it’s returned in the same condition. If not, the value of the gift card may be reduced.
7. How Do I Get 20% Off Amazon Baby Registry?
There is a discount for the Amazon baby registry but it’s not 20%. Once the baby registry is complete, you receive a 10% discount.
However, Amazon Prime members receive up to 15% discount. You can learn more about the discount and completion terms and conditions HERE.
8. Can You Track Amazon Baby Registry Items?
Amazon will notify you when something is purchased from your baby registry. You can track its progress from your account under “Purchased”.
You can also go to the “Orders” page in your account, select the relevant order, and track the package.
9. How Do You Find Out Who Sent You Something From Amazon?
Go to the “Thank You List & Returns” page on your account.
The list will show all the names and addresses of all the people who have purchased items from your baby registry.
In some cases, gift-givers don’t share their addresses so that won’t show up but the name will.
10. Do I Need The Original Packaging To Return To Amazon?
Items need to be returned to Amazon in the condition they were received. If you send it in another way, your refund may be lower than you spent.
Try your best to return it in the original packaging even if you already opened it and looked at it.
11. Can You Have Multiple Baby Registries On Amazon?
You can have multiple baby registries on Amazon. However, only one baby registry at a time can be active.
Once you create a new registry, Amazon will automatically change the status of the previously active baby registry to private and inactive.
12. How Do I Share My Amazon Baby Registry?
Head over to your baby registry page and click on “Share Your Registry.”
A link to share your registry by email or various social media channels will pop up. Copy and paste as you like.

13. Amazon Baby Registry Co-Registrant
You can share your Amazon baby registry account with a co-registrant. A co-registrant has “view and edit” permissions for the baby registry.
The co-registrant can manage the baby registry from their Amazon account.
They don’t have to log in to your account to access it as long as you’ve given them permission.
You can add and remove permission for co-registrants via the baby registry settings.
14. Can You Create a Baby Registry on Amazon App?
You can create your baby registry on the Amazon App the same way. Just toggle the settings button in the top left corner and choose “Your Lists.”
Scroll down, click on baby registry and you will be taken to the baby registry page to create a new baby registry.
15. How Do I Mark Something as Purchased on My Baby Registry?
To mark an item as purchased in your Amazon Baby Registry, head over to the registry list and toggle the button on the right side.
Click edit and add the purchase number of the item then save. Once you hit save, the item will be marked as purchased.

Amazon is one of my favorite places to shop. I had no idea that they had a baby registry. I'll be sure to remember that for the next friend planning a baby shower.
