Experience with Burlington Coat Baby Depot for registry?

MrsMitty08

We are traveling tomorrow about 80 miles to go to the "real" BRU (we only have a TRU near us.  There is a Burlington Coat Factory in the same place with the Baby Depot.  Has anyone registered at BCF?  I've never even seen their baby stuff in person, only online.  We'll check it out tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone had experience.  TIA!

I dont have experience with the registry, but I have been there to check out their baby depot. Their stuff is similar to what you would see in other stores but a little cheaper. The store itself that I went to wasnt that nice (I think it was the location partly), but their stuff was more than reasonable. I wasnt able to look at the clothes, but they seemed to have a good selection that I saw as I was walking by. They had basic but nice pack n play for 29.99 which I thought was awesome. I will definitely go back to purchase some things.

I have had friends who registered there.  From their feedback I did not register there.  They said items changed quickly so a lot of the items were not available in certain locations.  Also they said that the registery was rarely taken care of, so she received several duplicates from there.

Good to know!  I was worried about the availability of items because it seems like sort of a closeout store.  I think I might just go with Amazon.com and BRU.  My Mom thinks I need Target, too but I feel like that is overkill!  If only everyone would see the fabulous-ness of Amazon

I haven't had experience with any registeries there. I probably wouldn't register there as I think they just get whatever stock from other stores instead of maintaining a regular inventory. However, a friend of mine got her bedding there for a great deal and also had a friend who got her crib there. They both said that it is hit or miss but worth a try. I know ours is not the nicest store and not in the best location but I will still be checking them out.

I went to one while I was in FL visiting my mom. We got a great deal on the bedding that I wanted and some great prices on some carters clothes. The one I went to had a pretty good selection but I would be hesitant to register there because I would think that their selection would be changing a lot. I do plan on going back and buying a breast pump there. They did have a pretty good price and then if you sign up online you can get a coupon that makes it even cheaper.

Hi, I was wondering what baby depot in florida you went to? I live in florida also but the cloest one is in orlando...I was just wondering if it was good size...enough for me to drive 1.5 hour half.

 

I found baby depot recently in alaska as my brother just had a baby. the deals there were amazing and alaska is $$ .... so i figured in fl would be amazing!

 

anyway thanks
