Hi everyone !
So my sister in law wants me to register at buy buy baby and pottery barn kids for bedding. Does anyone suggest to do another store or just stick with buy buy baby ?

    I would register where you want to register not where your sister in law wants you to register. If you find a bedding set you like at babies r us (we did our bedding here) or target register there. I'm sure you can find bedding you like at pottery barn kids and buy buy baby but don't limit yourself to just those stores. I have three different registries because we found different things at different locations.

    Keep in mind certain stores like Target and Babies R Us have strict return policies if your guest didn't have your registry scanned and you weren't given a gift receipt. Browse around and see what stores appeal to YOU.

    I had such bad experiences with Babies R Us and had friends and family who had such bad experiences with them, mainly poor customer service and awful return policies, that we went with Buy Buy Baby and Amazon.  Between those two, we were able to register for everything we wanted.  Buy Buy Baby is great because they take bed bath and beyond coupons.  If you can get 20% off everything you're buying from there, it makes a huge difference!!

    I am registered at Target and Babies R Us. Mostly because there is one of them stores everywhere. There is only Buy Buy baby I know of and it's not close. Also I have alot of older folks who don't like ordering online and would rather go into a store.
    And besides we found out nursary theme at Babies-R-Us. ;)

    Personal favorites with excellent customer service - Wish Baby Registry (you can register online and earn FREE diapers in the process) and Giggle. And also BuyBuyBaby.

    I used Amazon as well as BRU.  Amazon has been awesome to work with, but BRU has given us a few headaches along the way.. and no completion coupon yet (should have had it over a week ago!).

    Majority of our gifts were purchased from PBK and BBB. We also found stuff we liked at Land of Nod. No one touched our giggle registry, but I do love the store. I never shopped at babies r us when I loved in river north (not sure if there is even one near downtown). Buybuy BAby was right there and convenient. Now that we moved to the burbs, I'm at BRU all the time.
