Help me decide where to register! Please :)

MoMs, I know this gets asked a lot but my search didn't find anything recent. Can you help me make a decision?

I'm def. doing Buy Buy Baby... but I'm torn on the last. My hometown doesn't have a BBB, so I'm deciding between Babies R Us, Target & Amazon.com. I've heard bad things about Target's return policy & them updating the registry. Although we do want their cribs, so gift cards would be nice. Babies R Us seems to me to be just like BBB, do I just register for the smaller stuff there & bigger stuff at BBB? I personally like Amazon bc the prices seem better, but I think that a lot of people still don't really "do" online registries (Amazon.com).

What do you think? TIA!

OH & if you recommend any over the other being that its more twin friendly?

Babies r us offers multiples discounts if you buy 2 of same. Bbb does too but only on 2nd item.

My gut says babies r us, but also say target gift cards appreciated. This gives the option. That is what I plan to do as well.

I registered at Target and only thing I had to do to return or exchange stuff was print off my registry and take it with the stuff to customer service, and I returned/exchanged almost $200 worth.

I did amazon baby registry and a lot of people seem to think its a good idea. Their prices are so much better I also did babies r us

Buy Buy Baby is over a hour away from me and not close to family in NJ or VA.

I am going to register at Babies R Us and Target. If I decide on crib bedding at PBK I might register there too, but I will probably be buying that.

I am registering at Amazon and Buy Buy Baby primarily... I am also having an out of state shower and they don't have BBB so I am creating a Babies R Us registry that I will just duplicate items on from my BBB registry. Easy stuff like Diapers etc... That shower is first so I can just delete items I get from that shower off my other registry so hopefully I don't have to do a ton of returns...

I did Babies r us and Amazon. The BBB is over an hour away etc. I personally love to order online and honestly I noticed that so many specific things aren't actually carried in the physical stores so people end up having to order anyway. I also noticed the prices were better on Amazon. I think "younger" people use online registries whereas older people may not be "up on it" (ie my mil and her friends).

I also did a "secret" Target registry so I get the completion discount but my sister isn't telling people I registered there. You can add anything to the registry (not just baby stuff) so I will add random household stuff when I go to use the coupons.

I say register at all of them.

BRU has a really great return policy (up to a year after the babies are born plus you can exchange diapers for different sizes during that time as long as it is on your registry). Plus, they now give you 10% back on all purchases made on your registry.

I've never had an issue with Target but I rarely return items, so I'm not really any help there.

I did Target and Amazon. They carried everything bru and bbb did only cheaper. I returned a ton of stuff to Target without a problem. I registered 3 weeks before my showers and continued adding items even after I delivered so I could use my completion discount. I never had any items discontinued. Good luck!

I did bbb and babies r us. They have very different stuff. Babies r us is more common around here so all of the gift cards I got were to there. I would say register the bulk of your stuff wherever is most popular by you.
