That's why we've rounded up the best baby freebies in Canada, so you can catch a break on a box of diapers for once, plus try tons of new products through samples and coupons. And if your friends in the US are expecting, they can score a free Amazon Baby Registry Welcome Box worth over $35 and tons of other free stuff from Amazon.
