Online Registration Replaces Paper Cards Completely

Every major baby product brand -- Graco, Chicco, UPPAbaby, 4moms, Nuna, Safety 1st, and others -- offers online registration that is as complete as any mailed card. The registration card in the box was always just a paper mechanism; the digital path captures the same information faster and more reliably.

Key Information Needed for Baby Product Registration

Baby product online registration requires the product's serial number (on a label sewn to the product or stickered to the frame), the product model name, and the registrant's contact information. For gifts, the registration should be in the new parents' name and address -- not the grandparent's -- so recall and warranty notices go to the household where the child is. Purchase date is also requested -- if you no longer have the receipt, an approximate date (month and year) is acceptable on most brands' portals.
Register the gift in the parents' name. Recall notices belong at the house where the child is, not where the product was purchased.

Why Baby Product Registration Is a Safety Responsibility

Baby products have some of the highest recall rates of any consumer category. Car seats, infant sleepers, bouncers, swings, high chairs, and bassinets are all subject to regular recalls involving potential injury to infants. Registration in the parents' name ensures that recall notifications reach the household where the child is -- not the grandparent's address where the product was purchased.

Skip the Card, Complete Registration Online

Baby product registration online is faster, more reliable, and just as complete as any mailed card. Three minutes in the parents' name protects the child for the product's full life.

How to Complete Registration for Someone Else

When registering a gifted baby product on behalf of the new parents, use their contact information -- their name, email, address, and phone number. You are the purchaser, but the product user is the child, and the product protector is the parent. Most brands ask for the purchaser's information separately -- fill your information there and the parents' information in the primary registrant fields.
