Most stores that sell items for babies offer a registry or wish list for new parents to make it easier for friends and family members to purchase needed or wanted items for the new baby. A registry is simply a place where the new parents can make a list, either online or in the store, of the things they would like to purchase or have purchased for them. Many stores like, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target and often smaller specialty stores offer registries for their customers.
Stores that have baby registry are: Sears, Babies R Us, and The Bay. I would suggest Sears and Babies R Us more because they have a lot more items than any other stores. There is also elfster which lets you create a wish list for pretty much any item you can think of since there are some stores that carry baby items but does not have a registry option such as Wal-Mart and other clothing stores.
One of the great things about registering for baby gifts is to avoid getting duplicates of an item. Target is a great store that does offer baby registry online.

Baby stores often offer products that are not only for babies, but safe for them. Shopping at other stores is certainly acceptable, but keep in mind the safety of the baby when shopping.
