When I first got pregnant, a good friend of mine sent me her baby registry. On it were both the Doona and the UPPAbaby Vista V2. I remember gasping at the price tags and asking her, “Which one should I get?” She replied, “Well, you kind of need both.”

Welcome to the new year and the next chapter of my little life! I’m so excited to kick off this fresh start with all of you. 

Creating a baby registry can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time parents – at least it did for me! With so many products and brands to choose from, it’s hard to know what you truly need versus what’s just nice to have (and what is just good marketing).
