1. An epic 5-in-1 crib that will last you a lifetime! It converts from a crib to a daybed, toddler bed (toddler guardrail included), full-size bed with headboard, full-size bed with headboard and footboard, AND a playhouse!
Promising review: "We live in a one bedroom and this crib fits perfectly in one of the corners of our room, as a little nook for the baby. It’s a beautiful gray color, which matches the Timeless Dresser that we also have! I love that it has three heights that we can adjust as the baby gets bigger. Honestly, I’m relieved that this turns into a toddler bed and eventually a full bed too — it really is a forever piece of furniture as our family grows! It’s a strong, sturdy and gorgeous piece that I’m excited to use when our babe arrives! It took less than two hours to assemble, but I found the directions clear and straight-forward." –Nina
Price: $499.99 (available in two colors)
2. And a more affordable 4-in-1 crib you can convert from a crib to a toddler bed, daybed, and full size bed. No more spending money on furniture for the kid's room when you purchase this baby!
3. A mountain-themed musical mobile to hang above your new crib that will help keep baby calm as you slip away to get some ~me time!~ A velour plush moose and two bears are suspended from a mountain that slowly rotates to Brahms’ "Lullaby."
4. An eco-friendly crib and toddler bed mattress that'll go with the aforementioned cribs. Made from food-grade polyethylene, this mattress is nontoxic, hypoallergenic and 100% recyclable. Naturally!
Promising review: "For some reason, I decided to spend hours researching crib mattresses while pregnant. It felt like a huge decision at the time. I kept debating between splurging on the $300 Newton and just buying an $80-ish Serta (or something similar) with good reviews. I decided to compromise on this mattress, and I'm glad I did. So far I've been very happy. It's easy to clean and change the crib sheet. It fits very well in my DaVinci crib. And my baby sleeps great at night. What more could I ask for?" –crazyhallie

6. An adorable neutral four-piece bedding set that will go perfectly in any nursery. The set includes a skirt, fitted sheet, changing pad cover and comforter!
Promising review: "I love this crib bedding set. It matches with things my baby already has. I love the colors. I had laid eyes on this set a few months ago and almost passed out when I saw that my cousin had the mattress cover to this set in her baby registry list but luckily she ended up getting an entirely different set that looks just as good. I had already paid for this, so I'm happy we both got what we wanted." –Happy mom
Price: $74.99
7. A Boppy infant support pillow, because this is one item you don't want to skip out on. The Boppy is one of the most versatile baby items on the market — use it for feeding, propping, tummy time, and sitting. This is more than a pillow, it's a lifesaver!
Promising review: "BEST pillow ever! My little dude loves to twist and roll over as we’re chilling on the couch and sometimes during tummy time cause he’s a learning infant and gets tired. This is great for anytime! Half asleep baby wanting food, when he’s glued to me and wants to chill with me in bed or on the couch. So in love, will be purchasing another one. True lifesaver — sincerely, a real first time mommy." –CrystalXO

Promising review: "Being a new parent, I have been researching baby monitors for some time. I landed on this one, and added it to the baby registry. This camera works so well, we both love it. If you want a stand alone system, where your phone is not your monitor, I would recommend this one." –Matt A

Promising review: "I didn’t register for a diaper pail because I didn’t think I needed one. So after about four days of having twin babies at home, I realized I was wrong. There is a slight smell when you push the button to lower the diaper into the bottom portion of the pail, but for the most part, this pail is pretty awesome. It uses regular trash bags and contains the smell." –Bb

Promising review: "Perfectly sturdy for what I needed it for: baby shoes, bows, sweaters, etc. I like that it came with a few drawers so I could hide the smaller items. I wish the drawers fit higher up top in the shoe compartments, but they are sized differently. Great deal on a two-pack, too!" –Target reviewer
