The Amazon Baby Wishlist: everything you need to know

Why should I set up an Amazon Baby Wishlist?

An online Wishlist like the Amazon one can definitely help you to keep organised when you're trying to keep track of things you might want to buy in time for your new arrival.

You can browse products, add them to your list or remove them if you don't think they're for you after all.

We particularly like the fact that with the Amazon Baby Wishlist you can see what other parents have bought and what they thought of their purchase (most products have hundreds of reviews) – particularly good if you're splashing out on big times like a buggy, and handy to have that info all in one place.

In addition it's useful that you can share the Wishlist with friends and relatives (like a wedding gift list) so that you don't run the risk of being gifted the same thing twice. You'll get a link and options to share via social media, and email.

Amazon Baby Wishlist members also get offered exclusive discounts which can really help you save money when buying expensive products such as pushchairs and car seats.

How will the Amazon Wishlist benefit me?

As well as being an easy way to keep track of products you like, and share it with people who might want to buy you things for the baby, having an Amazon baby Wishlist means you:

• Save money with discounts on products
• Get limited time offers

There's also an inspiration section to give you some ideas if you're not sure what you need.

There's a really handy display that shows you how many things from your Wishlist have been bought, as well as whether you've requested gift cards instead, plus a countdown to how many days until your baby arrives.
