Ok, I know this question is asked a lot but where did you register? I know I kind of want to stay away from Target but I was thinking BRU and Amazon (since I can pull from many websites on Amazon and make a list). Any others that I'm missing or thoughts? Thanks!

... every single day of forever.
Babies R Us and Target. We put a few things on Amazon, but 90% of our family/friends would NOT buy online, so that is why we opted for Target, too.
ETA: I was anti-registering at Target, but got complaints from my mom that she wanted to find stuff in the store.
BRU and Target. I had the same feelings as you, I really didn't want to register at Target, but surprisingly it was fine. I had a great experience even at the return time. There is a secret list you can pull from that may include other items purchased that weren't on your registry. If the purchaser has them at least scan the registry it attaches to the list and makes return easier I was given a TON back....lets just so much that I just used the last of the gift card and DD is 16mos old.
I actually had a horrible experience with BRU.
We registered at BRU and Target. Target was good because they had some of our big things in the style/color we wanted and BRU didn't (PNP, travel system). They weren't great at updating the registry when things were purchased so I usually had to go update it myself. Now with their new (crappy) website, I'd be a little iffy on them.
I personally love the idea of Amazon because I do 95% of all my shopping online, but not everyone does so that's why we didn't do it.

BRU and Target. We registered and Target before they switched over to their new website. Since the switch I've had some issues accessing my registry for a few days which was very annoying. They did give me a gift card and discount because of the inconvenience though which is nice.
I had originally planned to have an Amazon registry and really like the idea. But nearly every single attendee at the shower my MIL is throwing is older and/or not an online shopper (and they don't have BRU in their area so we had to also register somewhere that they had availability to) so I decided to nix that idea.
I LOVE Buy Buy Baby too but the closest one is either Rockville or Lancaster and that doesn't work for most people.

LOL yea.... Heidi posted a wonderful site a couple months back that I'm using to help register.

I registered @ Target and I totally regret doing so.
At the time I was PG w/ DD there was no BRU in Annapolis and I find that store to be totally overwhelming and full of crap that you don't need, so I didn't register there, but in hindsight I wish I had- or that I had registered at Buy Buy Baby- which I know doesn't have a store near us, but does have a good website and carries some nicer things.
I also registered at a store called Babystyle- which had a good website and several brick & mortar stores (including one in my IL's town) but has since gone out of business.
I will be honest, I didn't get all that much stuff off our registry- the only "big" items I registered for was the infant car seat and the Bjorn.

Oh that's weird... thanks for the heads up.

I registered at BRU and Target. Haven't had any issues with Target but I created my registry after their website changed. And added most of my stuff in store. I also did an Amazon registry more for my own use than anyone else's since alot of my people don't do online shopping.
