The Babies "R" Us Registry at Kohl's brings back the brand that closed in 2018, now as a shop-in-shop inside Kohl's stores nationwide with a full baby registry program — Welcome Box, 15% completion discount, Kohl's Cash, and 365-day returns. Here's how it works in 2026.
If you've been waiting for the return of Babies "R" Us since the original chain closed in 2018, this is it. In 2024, Kohl's relaunched the brand as Babies "R" Us at Kohl's, with curated baby shops inside hundreds of Kohl's locations and a dedicated online registry. The registry program pairs the kind of in-store touch-and-try experience moms loved at the original Babies "R" Us with the discount stacking moms know from Kohl's.
Most moms open more than one registry — your friends and family shop at different stores, so opening at two or three retailers means more gift options for them and more gifts for you. Babies "R" Us at Kohl's is one of the strongest to add because of the Kohl's Cash on every purchase, the 365-day registry return window, and the in-person browsing experience.

1.How to Create Your Babies "R" Us Registry at Kohl's
Visit kohls.com/babyregistry and click Create a Registry. You'll sign in to your Kohl's account (or create one), then enter:
- Your name and your co-registrant's name (optional).
- Your due date or your baby's birth date.
- Your shipping address.
- Whether this is your first baby.
Your registry is live as soon as you save it. You can build it on the desktop site or on the Kohl's app, and you can add items in store by scanning barcodes at the Babies "R" Us shop inside participating Kohl's locations.

When you create your registry, you'll receive a coupon for a complimentary Babies "R" Us Welcome Box filled with baby essentials and samples.
How to redeem in 2026:
- Add the welcome box coupon from your Kohl's digital wallet.
- The coupon expires 365 days after you receive it.
- Limit one welcome box per customer per year, and only the primary registry owner can claim it.
- Shipping is free with a $49 purchase or $8.95 standard.
3.15% Completion Discount
About 60 days before your expected arrival date, you'll receive a coupon for 15% off remaining items in your registry. The discount applies to qualifying gifts still on your list after your baby shower — meaning you can use it to grab the bigger-ticket items friends and family didn't.
4.Kohl's Cash and Kohl's Rewards
This is the perk that sets the Babies "R" Us at Kohl's registry apart from every other registry on this list. Every qualifying purchase on your registry earns Kohl's Cash and Kohl's Rewards:
- Kohl's Cash is a coupon earned during specific promotional periods, redeemable on a future Kohl's purchase.
- Kohl's Rewards are points earned on every purchase, which convert into Kohl's Cash automatically.
Stacking these with the registry completion discount is how moms turn Kohl's into the deepest-discount option of any major baby registry.
5.FREE 365-Day Returns
Babies "R" Us at Kohl's offers free 365-day returns on qualifying registry gifts. That's a full year to return anything that doesn't fit, wasn't your baby's brand, or you registered for in the wrong stage. Returns can be made in any Kohl's store or by mail.
6.In-Store Browsing at Babies "R" Us Shops
Kohl's has rolled out dedicated Babies "R" Us shop-in-shops inside hundreds of stores nationwide. Walking through one feels like a small version of the original Babies "R" Us — strollers, car seats, cribs, feeding gear, and bath products you can actually touch and test before adding to your registry. For first-time parents who want to compare two car seats side by side, that in-person experience is hard to replicate online.
7.How to Maximize Every Perk
- Open your registry as soon as you hit 12 weeks. That gives you the longest possible runway for friends and family to add gifts and for you to earn Kohl's Cash on every purchase.
- Open more than one registry. Babies "R" Us at Kohl's pairs well with Amazon (for Prime shipping), Walmart (for in-store pickup), Babylist (for universal registry), and Target. More registries means more gifts and more discounts.
- Time your big purchases for a Kohl's Cash event. Stack the Kohl's Cash you earn with the 15% completion discount on your post-shower trip — that's where the real savings happen.
- Use your digital wallet. The welcome box coupon and the completion discount both live in your Kohl's app digital wallet — don't lose them in your email.
- Visit a Babies "R" Us at Kohl's shop in person. Touch the strollers and car seats before you commit. Then scan items to add them straight to your registry.
- Don't forget about the 365-day return window. It's the longest of any major registry — register for the things you're not sure about and return what doesn't work.
