What To Expect, a leading pregnancy and baby tracking app has teamed up with online parenting resource [BabyCenter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-baby-nutrition) to launch Registry Builder, a first-of-its-kind tool designed to simplify the baby registry process.

The new tool can be found on both What To Expect and BabyCenter apps and sites. It involves a straightforward quiz to help users identify baby registries that best suit their needs. In addition, it provides soon-to-be parents with a personalized checklist of baby "must-haves" as well as a custom buying guide. Moreover, the Registry Builder tool allows parents to connect multiple registries into one list, which can then be shared with friends and families as a [single link](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-outfitters-and-canva).

“Sorting through lists, reviews, product features and designs, and loading up a registry cart can be incredibly exciting (everything’s so cute!), but also incredibly overwhelming (everything’s so expensive!). With our new What to Expect baby registry builder, we’re here to help a mama out, holding parents’ hands as they navigate the big world of baby gear," said Heidi Murkoff, the Founder of What to Expect.
