The 38 Best Baby Products Under $100 to Add to Your Registry

It may not seem super exciting to give diapering products as gifts, but you can’t get any more useful or practical than this. Some Babylist parents really did mention things like diapers and diaper pails as their favorite baby products in our survey—one parent said they loved receiving their diaper pail simply because “it’s a necessity.” But if you’re looking to make a diapering necessity more giftable, some of them come in curated gift boxes.

Some baby feeding products can look downright utilitarian (looking at you, bottle sterilizers), but when parents call them “game changers” and “the best product hands down,” you know it’s an exciting gift to receive. And with many of these nursing and bottle-feeding products falling in the $50–$100 range, they make great registry items for friends and family to consider.

Carriers and diaper bags can often be on the pricier side, but there are some well-loved options that are within the average gift budget, so you can make sure you have those on-the-go items covered. Carriers in particular were deemed “essential” by parents in our survey, with several respondents saying these products “saved their sanity.”

This is where the fun begins, and not just for baby. Many gift givers will gravitate toward toys and books knowing they’ll bring baby lots of joy, and there are so many options for under $100. The Kick & Play Piano from Fisher-Price is a particular favorite among Babylist parents (several parents said their baby is “obsessed”)—it landed the number two spot out of all play gyms, and was the number one play gym under $100.

Plenty of affordable sleep products are popular among today’s parents, but topping that list will forever be sound machines—especially if you choose one that multitasks, like the Hatch Rest, which one parent in our survey called “an essential part of our bedtime routine.” Products that help baby sleep and do multiple jobs are always solid additions to a registry.

Clothes are another super popular gifting category, and it can be worth that extra bit of money for a multi-piece set (many even come in a gift box already). Also in this price range are specialty clothes like winter gear, premium fabrics and heirloom-quality designs.

If there’s a set budget, then gift cards and cash are the way to go. The Babylist Shop gift card can be used toward anything in our online store, and cash funds give you the option to allocate money to wherever it’s needed most, whether that’s a diaper fund, a childcare fund or even a babymoon fund. And don’t forget services, too—things like meal delivery will be so, so appreciated once baby arrives.
