It has been a lot of fun going to all the different department stores checking out the selections of baby items. We've been to Babies R Us, Target, Sears, and The Exchange. Many of these stores have a very similar selection and varying prices. We did make a short video of our trip to Sears, which you can find here, but the store we went to had practically nothing in store.
Shopping online is obviously much easier and gives you less of a headache, but the downfall is that you can't get to physically inspect the items. Items such as a crib, or changing tables, tubs, toys, and mattresses. If I'm going to buy a night light, I don't really need to touch it, but I want to make sure that what will be used to support, hold, carry, transport our newest addition will be sufficient and stand up to the elements. Since we are Amazon Prime members, we've been looking closely at how economical buying things from them is as well. Nothing like having the items delivered right to your door for free!
Of course we haven't bought anything yet as we will be having a large baby shower in August. If we buy something now, we are liable to get that same thing, or something similar at the shower. So shopping has been a bit monotonous as we haven't really bought anything yet, but we see all kinds of things we'd like!
We currently have a registry made up at Babies R Us, found under my name. That list is more of a shopping guide to help us know what we like and somewhere people can see the things we want/like. Babies R Us had the most extensive selection, no doubt because that is all they focus on, but it is still hard to decide what you want or what is best.
No one place is going to get all our business, that would be crazy. There are so many options out there and such range in prices that making a final decision becomes more quite complicated. Of course, we only want the best for our little one, so everything will be Porsche brand!
-Another great day
