IKEA baby products hit the sweet spot between Scandinavian style and budget-friendly pricing—and we're all for it. While you won’t find big-ticket items like strollers and car seats at IKEA, you will get a go-to place for unique nursery decor and well-priced cribs, as well as one of our picks for the best high chairs (which one Babylist parent described as “cheap, effective and easy to clean”). 

If you’ve never browsed the baby aisles at IKEA and don’t know where to start, we’ve pulled together all of the highlights here. From the affordable swaps to the everyday items that’ll be in heavy rotation, you’ll check off several registry essentials and baby product must-haves at IKEA (and save some money while you do it).  

Nursery + Decor

IKEA has everything you need to deck out your nursery, like affordable cribs, stylish decor and furniture that doubles as organizers. When we surveyed Babylist parents, the SNIGLAR crib was a favorite basic option, with one parent saying it's “nice to look at while still being affordable” and has held up from newborn days to toddlerhood. The retailer is known for Scandinavian-style pieces that are colorful and stylish while still being functional and useful.

Diapering and Potty Training

While you won’t find a pack of your favorite diapers at IKEA, you will find the accessories that’ll help streamline the process (and stay organized). And once your toddler is ready to enter the potty training stage, IKEA will have you covered there, too.

Bathing

The right baby bathtub will be your go-to during the first year of your baby’s life. Throw in absorbent towels, bath toys that can be disassembled and terry cloth washing mitts, and you’ll have everything you’ll need for a seamless bath time.

Baby Textiles

Stock up on baby quilts, crib sheets and even wearable blankets for your little one to sleep in.

Feeding

Our top pick for an affordable high chair, the Antilop from IKEA, is also a favorite among surveyed Babylist parents, with one saying, “We get so much use out of it for how little we paid for it.” You can also stock up on waterproof bibs, feeding sets and sippy cups.

Toys

From adorable stuffies and soft play mats to sturdy play gyms and the cutest red rocking horse, there are a ton of toys to choose from. The best part—most of them are under $50.

Safety

As soon as they become mobile, babies will quickly attempt to open cabinets and fiddle with electrical sockets and just about anything else that comes into their path. Get a few steps ahead of their curiosity and grab some baby-proofing supplies.
