Hi ladies,
I haven't done any baby shopping yet but since my mom will be in town from the West Coast I figure this would be a good time to start. I have heard good things about Great Beginnings (having a lot of items on the store floor so you can test them out). The thing is I live in DC and the store is like 45 minutes from my house (according to google at least!).
I just wanted to get opinions if it is worth the drive or if I should check out something closer to home... Thanks!!!
Re: Great Beginnings, worth the trip?
I am hoping just dragging a husband and a mom will be a lot easier!
This is exactly what I was going to say!
My DH is not at all handy, so I would have been stuck trying to put it together by myself!
Hm, Rockville is a bit closer. Maybe I should just go there instead?
I still recommend GB, if only b/c their staff are extremely knowledgeable about everything theyhave, where you won't necessarily find that at BBB.
I actually really dislike BBB unless you know what you want and can get in and out. It's SO crowded, and their aren't enough staff. You will pay the same amount for shipping from BBB, but they don't set it up. I've only been to Great Beginnings once, but it was completely worth it to get baby furniture. The furniture guy walked around with me for an hour while I (seemingly) looked at every crib in the store.
i don't have kids but live in G-burg....if all of the reasons above are not enough, there is a Bruster's ice cream in the same parking lot!
