You probably never realized just how many onesies, swaddling blankets, bottles, strollers and gadgets there are to choose from until you started compiling your registry. What will you really want once baby arrives? Take a look at our list of must-have items that aren’t just life savers in the functionality department, but also trendy new goodies that’ll make you and your stylin’ babe the envy of your playgroup.

Park It

Rule number one of being a new parent - don't stay home with your newborn 24/7. You need fresh air and your little one does too! Make trips to the park easy with Skip Hop's Central Park blanket. It zips up into an easy to carry pack that includes a cooler for keeping bottles, snacks and drinks chilled.

Available at nordstrom.com, $45.
