Registering at 2 Places? Should I?

I am so confused on whether to do BBB, BRU or both.
I noticed that the stroller I want is not available in BRU store, but only online. BBB has it in the store and online.

Which is better???

we registered at BRU and had a great experience. No return issues, tons of locations, and generally great prices.

I personally don't find BBB too convient.

I think it's really a location and preference thing. I registered at BBB and BRU but mainly kept small items on BBB.
*Just a hint: It does get confusing to keep them both updated once things start to come off....but it also makes it convenient for people who don't have one or the other nearby..HTH!

i went with both. They had things at BBB that they didn't at BRU that i wasn't willing to lose....

Also by doing both - you are giving people more options. My parents have a BBB 5 minutes away - the neariest BRU is 20 minutes away (i know it's not major - just giving an example)...

If you DO wind up doing both...be sure to comparison shop both sites. Put the CHEAPER option on the cheaper website.... I found some items cheaper at BRU and some cheaper at BBB - so i made sure to leave the CHEAPER one on the registry...

we did the same. we have the majority of our stuff on BBB but a few things at BRU that we really wanted and weren't available at BBB. overall we like BBB much better though.

I did both and since neither BBB or BRU had bedding I like I also registered at amazon.com. I found that BRU did not have some of the items I wanted in the store and I didn't want my guests to have to pay an additional $50 to have them shipped to them. I also liked that BBB you can use Bed Bath & Beyond coupons. Just be careful because some things I found at BBB were more expensive then BRU but if you used the coupon they were the same price. BBB also had a larger organic section it seemed.
