How to Add Courses (and other non-Amazon items) to Your Amazon Baby Registry

Baby registries have come a long way since the days of having to print out a giant list at Babies R Us. A lot of that is thanks in part to Amazon, which has revolutionized the way we request and give gifts. While Amazon has an impressive catalog of items for baby and new parents, there may be some things you want to add that they don’t offer. I’ll show you here how to add non-Amazon items to your Amazon baby registry.

These step-by-step instructions show you how to install the Amazon Assistant, which will allow you to add courses and other non-Amazon items to your baby registry with just one click. If you already have the Amazon Assistant installed, scroll down to step 6 to see how you can use it to add Birth School or the Quick Start Guide for Newborns course to your registry.

Once the extension has been installed, you may see it in the top of your browser. If you don’t, simply click the extensions button (in Chrome, this looks like a little gray puzzle piece) and click the thumbtack to pin the extension to your browser.

Step 6

Visit the Birth School gift option checkout page or the Quick Start Guide for Newborn gift option checkout page and click the Amazon Assistant extension button. If this is the first time using this extension, it may walk you through a few instructional slides.

(When adding other items in the future, simply navigate to the page where the price is listed before clicking the extension button.)
