Baby registry
A free baby registry with gifts from any store
A Seizenn baby registry is a free, ad-free online gift list where you gather baby gifts from any store and share them with one link. Friends and family reserve what they plan to give, so you avoid three identical swings. They can also team up on bigger items, with the money going straight to you.

When to start your baby registry
Most parents start their baby registry around the second trimester, often between weeks 16 and 24. You know a bit more about what you need, and there is still plenty of time before a baby shower or the first visits.
Start with a short list and build it over a few weeks. Talk to friends who recently had a baby: they know which products they used every day and which ones stayed in the box.
What to put on a baby registry
Think in categories: sleep (crib, sleep sacks, swaddles, a night light), getting around (stroller, car seat, baby carrier), feeding (bottles, burp cloths, a nursing pillow), changing and bath time, and clothes in several sizes. Babies outgrow newborn sizes in a few weeks, so add 3 to 6 month and 6 to 12 month outfits too.
Leave room for the nice extras: board books, a soft toy, a play mat, a memory book. And don’t forget the parents. Meal delivery, a comfortable robe or a good water bottle are welcome in the first weeks.
Many baby items are perfect secondhand: clothes, a bassinet, a high chair. Tick “secondhand if possible” on those items. For safety, many parents prefer to buy car seats new.
How many gifts and which budgets
Aim for more gifts than you have guests, so everyone still has a choice at the end. Twenty to forty items is a comfortable range for most families.
Mix price points. Plenty of items under $30 (bodysuits, pacifiers, books, bibs), a good selection between $30 and $100 (a bouncer, a baby carrier, a monitor), and a few big-ticket items over $100 like the stroller or the car seat.
Group gifts for the big items
A stroller or a convertible car seat is a lot for one person. With Seizenn, several people can chip in the amount they choose. A progress bar shows what’s left to fund, and a ready-made “ask for help” message makes it easy to bring others in.
The money goes directly to you, through the PayPal.me, Wero or Lydia link or the IBAN you choose to display. Seizenn never touches it and takes no fees. If the total isn’t reached, the money raised still goes to you.

Common questions
When should I start a baby registry?
Most parents start between weeks 16 and 24 of pregnancy. That leaves time to research products and share the link before a baby shower. You can keep adding gifts until the baby arrives and even after.
How many items should be on a baby registry?
A good rule is to list more items than you have guests, so the last people still have a real choice. Twenty to forty items, across several price ranges, works for most families.
Can I add gifts from different stores?
Yes. Paste a product link from any store: big retailers, small makers, local boutiques or secondhand listings. If the details don’t fill in automatically, you add the name and price yourself.
Do guests need an account to buy from the registry?
No. Guests open the link, browse the list and reserve a gift without creating an account. They buy the gift directly from the store, or give you the money if they prefer.
Can people chip in together on an expensive item?
Yes. Each person contributes the amount they want, and the registry shows how much is left. The money goes straight to you through the payment link or IBAN you display, with no fees taken by Seizenn.
Will I see who reserved which gift?
No. Reservations are hidden from the person who created the registry, so you keep the surprise. Your guests see what’s taken, which avoids duplicates.
Ready to welcome the little one?
Start with one favorite item. Your baby registry is free, ad-free and takes a minute to set up.
