Best places to register?

We're about to start registering! I was planning to go to Target or Babies R' Us. Babies R' Us seems to have more selection, but I know a lot of my family/friends don't have one anywhere near where they live. Did anyone register only at Target? Did you feel they had enough selection? Or any other store suggestions? :)

    Target is always a good place to register at. They have a pretty good selection and the majority of people I have know have registered there as well.

    I'm not a huge fan of BRU as they inflate their prices. I went there one day and bought stuff then headed to target and the difference was huge.

    Target sends you a 10% coupon to use once your near or past your due date. 

    I like diapers.com because they offer free shipping on orders over $35 and have some good deals for new customers (10% off or something like that, it changes) and they have a rewards program to, but some of their prices are a little inflated as well. But they ship everything in about 2 days which is convenient.

    I think BRU and BBB are priced kinda high, and both stores in my area haven't had sh!t for variety. A few of this, a few of that. But that's just in the couple stores I've been to in my particular area. We are registering at Target and Walmart- figured they're scattered all over and priced fairly decent. Some people also register on Amazon for ever wider variety/prices, but not everyone (particularly the "older crowd") likes to shop online.

    That helps a lot! Sounds like Target is a good choice for us then. Thanks everyone!

    we've checked out the options both at Target & Babies R Us.  I wasn't planning to register at BRU initially, but they just have WAY more options when it comes to the bigger items - stroller, bedding, pack & play, carseats, etc, so we will likely register there just for a few big items & anything else that we can't find at Target, but Target will be the "main" registry.  Personally I have HATED shopping at BRU for registries when it comes to smaller things, because they're so d*** difficult to find (it's a BIG store), lol, so I think sticking w/ just a few items there will be better.

    I  suggest to register at both. If you have a super Target near you they have a decent selection and likely bigger than a regular Target. Babies R Us has way more obviously.

    You can always add stuff online or start it online. Just make sure that the some of items you select are  available in store and online - their websites always tells you this.

    We did both BRU and target. That way people had a choice of where they wanted to go. Plus if they don't have them where they live, try can go online and look up your registries, and order from there.

    I'm only registered on Amazon.  You can have non-Amazon items on it too (which I do).  This was mostly due to ease since I'm on bed rest and can do it all lying down :)

    I'm not doing a registry but I've heard Target's return policy/customer service is horrible and my friends who have had baby registries have had great success with Pottery Barn, BRU, BBB, and the best was Amazon.  Just a heads up. ;)

    We did one at BRU and one online through BabyList. Some people may not be as internet savvy, so we wanted to do one in-store, but I'm really hoping people use the BabyList one as I have almost all of my cloth diapers on that list.

    I've also heard that Target is not good when it comes to returns, so hopefully you get gift receipts!

    My DH and I registered at Target. They had everything we needed from a bassinet to a breast pump.

    It might depend on how big the Target is near you though.

    We are going to register tomorrow at BBB for the people in our families, etc. that I know will appreciate being able to buy at an actual store. The rest will go on our Amazon registry for the family that lives out of town or not near a store, and we have lots of tech savvy friends who will order online regardless probably.

    I'm doing Target, BBB and amazon.com

    3 may seem extreme to some people but I think it will meet the needs of the different types of shoppers that will be invited to my shower.
