Babies R Us VS Toys R Us & Babies R Us

I don't know if anyone can help, but I was just wondering if any of you have compared the Babies R Us stores (with only Babies R Us) and the Toys R Us stores that also have a Babies R Us in them? I know the just BRU stores are usually really big, but I wasn't sure if they really have a bigger selection for furniture compared to the TRU & BRU?

The TRU is closer to us and I just figured I would see if anybody thinks it's worth it to just visit the BRU store?

 Thanks!

    I have been to both and in my area, they are ALL coverting to the combo stores except 1 store....that is hella far away. So I will be dealing with the combo store for sure...

    but I do not know if you have this option in your area... Buy Buy Baby (I hate the name...its so greedy sounding) but it is owned by Bed Bath and Beyond and styled the same way with EVERYTHING. From eco friendly stuff to super crazy expensive custom furniture and cute outfits and food and diapers of all kinds (including some cloth options) It was a great find...and I only found it because a friend is registered there!

    We only have the TRU w/ BRU inside. But now they remodeled to make the BRU side bigger and put BRU on the outside of the store. I just noticed they now have clothes. They're always had a huge selection on walkers, strollers, carseats, pnp, etc. Haven't seen much of a selection on cribs though.

    I would like to see what people think. The combo store by us just opened, and I like it because it's very well organized. I don't know about the selection, because it may be bigger overall. The BRU store is just like any other BRU that I've seen.

    We have a combo store and it is horrible.  I miss the single BRU back home, better selection and more items in store overall as opposed to ordering online.

    we have a BRU store as well as TRU store and I have to say the BRU store is bigger, more selection for baby stuff obviously and smaller toy section. When DH went to register with DD we were looking around going "holysh*t....im getting a headache b/c you don't know where to start)

    Thanks Ladies. I know our combo store seems small in the crib selection, so I think we will end up just going to the big one to check it out.

    And we did check out Buy Buy Baby, which I really loved, but it seemed like all the cribs were out of budget. I always have a hard time make a decision on more expensive items so this whole baby trip and looking at all the stuff that needs to be bought has really been interesting Confused

    Thank you again for the input!

    Around where I am, there's a TRU with a BRU section inside but it's rather small. Up the street is a full BRU. I like BRU more.
