They did a great job special ordering my stroller (it was a gift) and rushing at no cost so it would arrive in time for my shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-194409 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:54:02 +0000 mrs. bird 194409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: how exciting! Glad you enjoyed it:) DH is in trouble when I get pregnant- I'm gonna drag him all over new England shopping! =D i may have saved some gift cards to bed bath &amp; beyond from our wedding to spend @ BBB in the future, lol. I bet the chair comes early, you should be fine. Did you have them treat the chair? I saw they had some protective treatment they can do, I was wondering what was in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-194354 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:04:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 194354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am obsessed with Buy Buy Baby and so depressed it's too much money in gas to really go. Also that we'll get shower gift cards to BRU and not BBB. LOL!! DH came with me and we were in there for over an hour..he wouldn't even register with me at BRU!</p> <p>Anyway..we ordered! There were the same amount of gliders as BRU, but definitely better quality. The one we ordered was Best Chairs - Storytime Series, Kamilla. We got it in a chocolate brown color/fabric, and it came to $400 after the coupon..the one at BRU was going to be $344, so we felt the difference was worth it for the blatant difference in quality! </p> <p>Only scary part is that they said 12-14 weeks to get it...and I'm due in 14 weeks!! Let's hope it comes in early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192695 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 21:28:22 +0000 matador84 192695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait to see the glider selection! I have a 20% off and you are so right, the online glider on the BBB section isn't very good! I live 350 miles away from the closest one, but I will be near one on business in a couple weeks and can't wait to go look on my downtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192577 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 17:43:23 +0000 cyneswith 192577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I didn't bother to look at the brand, because a furniture store had a nicer rocker for less. The $400 rocker is similar to the one you like, but it's white. Dunno if it comes in other colors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192414 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 14:08:34 +0000 mrs. bird 192414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: ahhh! I just realized I totally lied, it was Nashua, not Manchester! I always mix them up :( still probably not worth it gas wise with an SUV unless you have a hybrid one (my mom has a hybrid highlander that I LOVE!). Good luck with your shopping! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192381 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 13:16:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 192381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyneswith: the one we're looking at at BRU is $429 - +tax, -20% coupon. do you know which one they sell that's 400? I'm just curious to google the brands for reviews but the BBB website stinks! :(</p> <p>@mrs. bird: that would be awesome to make it to manchester, but it's about another 40 minutes past Braintree for me. Normally the 1.5 hour wouldn't bug me but I think I'd spend the tax in gas money, lol! I drive a highlander..boo!</p> <p>@bpcmarj: could be! I'm in Northern RI..but *right* on the line of Mass. I shop in Attleboro more than RI! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192366 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:50:10 +0000 cyneswith 192366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are usually around 20 at our local BBB. Way more than BRU has. The cheapest one they have is $400, though - $500 with the ottoman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192345 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:03:05 +0000 mrs. bird 192345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the one up in Manchester recently, haven't been to the Braintree one though. They had a lot more gliders than the babies'r'us. I liked that they had a bunch of the nicer glider recliner kinds, not just the wooden exposed mechanism looking kinds. I remember liking one from Little castle and I think the other was from best chairs, I don't think BRU carries either brand. They had the fabric swatch albums for a few to order from &amp; said if there was a style chair from the company that you liked but they didn't have it in the store, they could still order it for you. The staff was all super helpful &amp; knowledgeable. I totally feel in love with BBB as a store &amp; if you haven't been to one, I think it is totally worth the trip if you have some time for it. They also had a bunch of things BRU doesn't have instore, so it could be fun for you to browse. How much further is the NH store for you? 'cause you'd save the 6.25% sales tax there ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192320 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:34:49 +0000 calsmom 192320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought our Dutalier glider from there and we love that thing. The 20% off coupon did not apply though, but there was a 10% coupon that we could use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192308 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:16:20 +0000 bpcmarj 192308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We must be pretty close to each other since it's about 40 minutes north of me, too:) But, I haven't been so I can't offer suggestions. It was just opening when I was registering, and I haven't made it up that way since baby girl was born! Good luck, and be sure to let me know how it is if you go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192306 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:02:55 +0000 sorrycharlie 192306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meggo5: thanks for responding!! I know they have the 20% off coupons, too - are the prices comparable to BRU? I so wish I was closer to BBB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192305 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:01:03 +0000 Periwinkle 192305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were just at BBB last weekend and their selection of gliders was impressive! Much better than BRU. They carry a much higher end variety of gliders, including many upholstered chairs. We are definitely considering buying a glider from BBB. </p> <p>I think you'll be impressed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buy-buy-baby-glider-selection#post-192298 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 10:49:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 192298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The closest Buy Buy Baby we have is in Braintree - about 40 minutes north of me. DH and I are debating going there to check out their gliders - the one we're currently leaning toward is the Newco Swivel Glider at BRU, but I'm wondering if they have similar/better options. </p> <p>The website is kind of lacking..can anyone who's nearby to one tell me how good the glider selection is? </p> <p>(This is the one we're currently leaning toward: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4237357" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4237357</a> , but in dark brown) </p>
