Thanks for all the ideas! They will be helpful when we go to BRU soon and add a few more things.

A mobile, we forgot to register for that. And crib toys. The FP rain forest crib toy is still a hit with our girls, but I think now FP only has their new line "precious planet" available.
I agree, register for your next car seat.
Registering for clothes was a waste. Well not a waste, but completely unnecessary. My girls are STILL wearing clothes we got from the shower. People who got us a non-clothing gift apparently couldn't help themselves around cute girl clothes, because they'd get us an outfit too!
Did you register for a mattress? That was a great gift to get.Mommy to my wonderful, HEALTHY twin girls

I had to add things to my registry and agree with a pp that you should go ahead and put some big ticket items on (lots of people like to team up sometimes). So a really nice carseat like a Boulevard. Maybe a nice stroller for an older baby (like a Maclaren). A potty seat, a dining booster chair for toddlers.

Register for some "older" things- such as toys that are appropriate for 1 yr that you can pull out later, things that don't take up a ton of room- like books.
What about diapers, diaper sacks, Diaper bags, etc?
What about putting down gift cards? That way you can purchase items as needed down the road.
I would definitely put down larger items, such as a convertable car seat for down the road- our DD moved to it when she was about 7 mos old.
Other "toddler" items might include: Booster seat (we had the FP booster- and one for each Grandma's house), you could get like a Wagon or similar (to use when they get a little bigger, but may not want ride in the stroller. Potty chair, etc.
More than 1 kind of stroller, if you need it (like a mall walking type, vs a ATV type)
Momento gifts- calendar, scrapbook, photo frames, etc. Might be good and something that someone would love to give.
I know what you are saying- they want to get the "cutsie" things, not necessarily what you may need!
Congrats!
