Target is piloting a new subscription service on target.com for baby-care essentials, including diapers, wipes, formulas, training pants -- and more.

The service allows moms and dads to schedule regular deliveries of these crucial items. This is the first time the Minneapolis-based retailer has offered an online subscription service.

According to Target's website, the 150 eligible subscription items can be found at Target.com/targetsubscriptions. This includes bulk-sized items delivered to the doorstep in regular four- to 12-week installments.
