Last and final post for baby registry, YAY!!! I really hope you guys have found this useful as I share everything that we use on the daily.
Car seat – You can not leave the hospital without a car seat. They will stay in an infant carseat for a while but it doesn't hurt to register for a convertible car seat as well since you will get the completion discount. We have the britax carseat and if I'm being completely honest I probably wouldn't recommend this one. The only thing wrong with it is that there are attachments on the side that stick out and it bumps up against your leg and sometimes hurts. I purchased this carseat when it was on sale however so we got it for I think less than 50 dollars and I knew people that had it. We also have the Graco 4ever convertible carseat and I highly recommend this one. You will also want a car seat cover, I love this one because it serves the propose of car seat cover, nursing cover, and grocery cart cover.
Stroller – We love the baby jogger brand. We purchased the city mini GT with Grady and I wish that I would have just gotten the double stroller. We have both the mini GT and the City select double which converts to a single when needed. I absolutely LOVE this stroller. It's on the pricey side but it is so worth it.
Diaper bag - I have purchased 2 diaper bags and have not loved either one of them. I'm a crossbody girl and the ones I have found are too bulky. I have used a backpack for when Grady was a toddler and those are they most convenient. I do want to try a normal crossbody bag with this insert and see if I like it a little better.

Activity center - Babies love activity centers and so do parents. You can put them in there while you cook and they just play and play.
Walker - Pediatricians recommend not getting a walker but we loved ours and Grady loved it as well.

Bouncer - We purchased a 4 moms bouncer and neither one of my kiddos liked it very much. However my mom has a this bouncer which we love so much more.
Play mat -
Outlet protectors - Nothing fancy here just some cheap outlet protectors that will break your nails when you try to take them off!
Oxi clean - Breastmilk poop is the hardest to get out of clothes. I swear by baby Oxi Clean to get out any stains.
Laundry Soap - We tried a few baby laundry soaps and then after going to an at home daycare she told us that she just used Tide's Free and gentle and so we purchased some and have not had any problems
Back seat mirror - You will want this trust me! Especially on your first car ride where you sit in the front seat.Scale - This is optional, we purchased one with Grady to keep an eye on his weight and then with Audrey the doctor told me to stop stressing out about it.
Pack n play - We have only used ours a hand full of times and most of the time when you go places you can rent one from the hotel we just make sure to bring extra sheets. This is an item where you don't have to go too expensive.
