Once you have a baby, it's astounding the amount of stuff you need. Even the most minimalist parent who swears to buy only the essentials finds themselves in a deluge of diapers, wipes, swaddles, bottles, crib sheets, car seats, and clothes. (They grow out of clothes so fast.) Oh, and when are you most likely to realize that there's something else you so desperately need? Between wee-hours feedings, when there's no way in hell you're getting everyone dressed, packing everyone into the car, and going to the nearest store (if there is even one that's open).
Hence, the world of online shopping becomes an essential part of a new parent’s routine — it gets to the point where, for better or worse, you get good at online shopping while you’re still only half awake. But where to shop? Here are the best baby stores online, where you can find everything you need and have it shipped to your door while you stay in your PJs with your messy bun. From big-ticket items like cribs, car seats, and swings to those everyday essentials like pacifiers, sunscreen, and baby cleaners, parenting reinforcements are just a few clicks away. (And don’t forget about Seamless. Seamless is a brand-new-parent’s best friend.)
buybuy Baby
At some time or another, after the pregnancy test comes back positive, parents find themselves wandering aimlessly at buybuy Baby, gawking at all the baby products: the car seats, the strollers, the baby carriers, the bouncers and swings. And there's a reason future (and new) moms and dads think to head there: It's all there, in one spot! (One of the many reasons we love it).
Babylist
Many parents choose to set up a baby registry at Babylist, because of the sheer versatility of the options. If you're setting up a registry, you an also add items from other stores if they're not available at Babylist.
Zulily
If you're looking for steep discounts, there's plenty of gear available at Zulily, though you have to enter your email address to begin shopping there. The deals and merchandise are constantly changing, so it helps to check in every so often.
The Honest Company
The Honest Company will let you set up subscriptions for diapers, bath products, home cleaning products, and more, so it's one less thing for you to worry about.

Pottery Barn Kids
When it comes to nursery decor, the crib is usually the big focus. Once that's in place, you get to fill in the rest with the fun stuff (so long as it conforms to safe sleep guidelines) — everything from wall hangings to linens to the cool knicknacks that you put on the shelves. Luckily, you can get it all at Pottery Barn Kids.
Crate & Kids
Fans of the modern kids' decor from Land of Nod should be pleased to know that the brand isn't gone — it was absorbed into Crate & Barrel and now lives on as Crate & Kids. There, you can still find the popular (and customizable) Nod Chair, as well as backpacks, bedding, indoor tents, and more.
Carter's
In the early days, your baby will have a uniform for baby clothes: bodysuit and pants. They will wear this uniform every day, and soil it with regularity. Better stock up on a few basics that you can dress up with a fancier layer or two (that you'll cross your fingers she won't get spit up on). Start your baby's wardrobe by ordering from Carter's affordably-priced sets.
Walmart
If you're looking for deals, there are plenty to be had at Walmart. The company is running a "Best of Baby" sale for the month of September, and also announced a program where parents can receive a gift card for trading in a car seat (runs September 16—30). Even when those promotion ends, you can look for more programs that offer special savings.

Burt's Bees Baby
Burt's Bees Baby is another good place to stock up on bodysuits, which are made with super-soft, 100% organic cotton. (While you're there, you can also throw some baby bath products into your cart.)

Primary
Primary is also known for its high-quality takes on kids' essentials. The clothes come in bold colors (not just the pastel pink and blue), and they don't have any rhinestones, glitter, or cheeky messages that other kids' clothing lines have that can get annoying.
Tea Collection
If you're looking for extra unique patterns or graphics, Tea Collection sources its inspiration from all over the world. They also design clothing that's meant to be layered, so it can last more than a season (if your baby doesn't grow out of it too fast).
Yoya
For special occasions — or if you're looking for a baby gift — Yoya is headquartered in New York's SoHo, and all of the stores clothes have that Village vibe.
Amazon
Of course, there's probably an extra bit of convenience getting your sleep sacks and your bottle sets from, well, the places where you buy just about everything else: Amazon. If you're a prime member, you can also set up subscriptions for regularly needed items like diapers.
Target
And while you can get pretty much any baby item you need at Target, parents are particularly enamored with the store's super-affordable, trendy Cat & Jack clothing line.
