As expectant parents, my husband and I finally took the plunge and created our Baby Registry. After having worked with infants and young children for 10 years, even after doing some online research prior, I knew I’d still be overwhelmed by all the choices, but boy was that an understatement!
I believe these are some of the smaller “hidden gems” of the Baby Registry that may tend to get overshadowed by the bigger ticket items. These suggestions are a bit more cost-effective for gift giving on a lighter budget.
Check the site regularly, every Monday during the month of August, I’ll post some of my favorites.
For the Car:
Fisher-Price Precious Planet Auto Mobile Mirror – $25.00

Not only can your baby entertain themselves by seeing their reflection in the mirror while riding in the car and watching the animals dangling above them, how ingenious that it provides the parent driving the car with a clear view of their face to determine whether they are asleep, awake, or have lost their pacifier!
Infantino Tag Along Chimes – $6.49

These adorable little guys can dangle from your car seat or attach to links on an activity mat. They are great for visual tracking and eventually they will encourage your child to advance their hand skills to try and reach out and grasp at them.
