Where to register?

Are you registering at Babies r us or Buy Buy Baby?

I have had bad experiences buying for others at BBB. The store is always a mess, items broken, out of stock, obviously returned packages not put together right just thrown on the shelf. Maybe its just the store I go to?

I will probably end up at BRU because I live in Medford and there is only one BBB and I don't think people will want to travel. Personally, I love BBB.

Re: Where to register?

I did both. I found that they had some different stuff,, however I did find that the prices in buybuybaby are much better.

Re: Where to register?

For my first pregnancy, we registered at both. I definitely prefer BBB- their staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and helpful, their return policy is easier, and they have a better selection for a lot of stuff. The only reasons we also did BRU were because they had a couple items that we had decided on that BBB did not carry, and because BRU has a lot more locations so we thought it would be easier for people buying gifts.

I've always found BBB to be better organized, neater, and easier to shop in than any BRU. I go to the one on Old Country Rd. off the Meadowbrook the most.

Also, I figured a lot of my shower guests would have Bed Bath & Beyond coupons they could use there.

I registered at Amazon too - people who weren't coming to the shower or were from out of town tended to buy from there because of the lower prices and the free shipping.

I did both. Some people live closer to BBB some closer to BRU and my mom felt it was best to do both so I did.

I did BRU and Target. BBB is not convenient to either of our families. And while a lot of people buy online, many wait till the last minute and want to buy in person.

For DS, I registered at both. The bulk of my registry was at BBB (which is the store I preferred). I only registered for a few items at BRU because we had a lot of friends who live in Brooklyn and had no BBB nearby. I am actually shocked to hear about your experience at BBB. I go to the one in Garden City and find it SO much more organized than BRU. The staff is also so knowledgeable and helpful there and returns/exchanges are a piece of cake.

Re: Where to register?

I registered at BRU and Amazon. I found for so many things Amazon was A LOT cheaper (just one example of many: fisher price newborn rock n play sleeper at BRU (and most places) is $50. It's $40 at Amazon.) I'm also having twins. So, it really adds up.

Re: Where to register?

I did both but if I was forced to choose between, I would def say BBB. The people are just so much more helpful there and I havent had any problems with returns. Plus I like the store set up much better. good luck!

Re: Where to register?

I plan on registering at both. There are a few things that only one or the other carries that I want.
