With items that are frequently out of stock (or cost an UPPAbaby Vista’s weight in gold to ship), baby retailers seem to have little love for expectant Canadian parents. But at Babylist, we love the Great White North.

With Babylist’s universal registry, Canadians can add registry items from all of these baby stores, all in one place. When you create an account, you can install the browser button (or get the app) to seamlessly add items from anywhere on the web.

We’ve put together a list of the best baby stores in Canada to help you build your registry. We asked our Canadian registrants and did some research of our own to find the best options, ranging from big online retailers to local stores you can visit to small, family-run shops. Wherever your shipping address may be, you deserve to get exactly what you want for your new little one.

National Stores

Amazon.ca

With thousands and thousands of products, you’re bound to find the items you need for your new arrival on Amazon. Stock up on essentials like diapers and nursing pads, and use Amazon’s endless customer reviews to choose from popular products.

Well.ca

Well.ca provides a range of choices for your registry that are focused on healthy, natural living. The online store ships across Canada and carries products from brands like the The Honest Co. and Seventh Generation. This is a great resource for some harder-to-find items for your baby and for moms, both pre- and post-partum.

Wayfair

Wayfair is a top destination for anyone trying to design their perfect nursery. The store’s expansive collection of furniture options, as well as their inspiration guides, will make it easy to create your ideal space.

Indigo

Indigo is Canada’s leading bookstore, but it’s also a one-stop shop for many of your baby needs, from baby gear to clothes and nursery items. They also have a great selection of children’s books and toys, including both in their brick-and-mortar stores and online (they have IndigoKids experiences in over 80 of their locations throughout Canada).

With this selection of stores, we hope you’ll be able to find exactly what you need—whether that means ordering unique bodysuits from an indie shop or testing out strollers inside an actual store or ordering diapers in bulk.
