We're coming up on that point where it's time to register.
All the baby places have their pros and cons. If you are registering and have decided, what did you choose?
If you are a 2nd time around mom, where did you register with your first? Any great or terrible experiences to share?
Re: Where are you planning to register?
I've already started my Amazon registry and it has been really easy/convenient so far. I really like reading the customer product reviews, so Amazon was a no brainer for me.
For people who want to shop in store, I'm debating between Buy, Buy, Baby and Giggle. I'm not in love with BBB, but Giggle has fewer stores and I know that will probably bug some of my relatives. But Giggle has more of the stuff I like... so it's probably going to win.

Buy Buy Baby - most stuff. They take Bed Bath and Beyond coupons so people love that.
Babies R Us- some stuff that was in Baby Bargains was not sold at BBB, so we had to register for big stuff here, like the cribs and dresser. Oh, and the carseats I liked. Big ticket items.
Pottery Barn Kids- we chose the bedding theme from here. Only about 5 or 6 things on this registry.
I hate that stuff is more at BRU but my only truly local options are BRU and Target. I'm going to register at both and only double register for consumable things since I hear both have PITA return policies. Word on the street is that Target DID at least listen and allows for the registry to function as a gift receipt for a short period of time. We'll see.
Lots of the big stuff isn't available for either but I know I need lots of stuff in the under $50 category so DH and I will get the big stuff ourselves.
