I only had one registry since Target and BRU are next to each other in my town. It wouldn't add any convenience to have two. I've received lots of invitations that listed multiple registries though. If you think it would be helpful to your guests, I'd do two. I don't really see any harm in having two! Target isn't great with returns (you have to have the receipt, otherwise there is a price limit), so I would only put things on there that you wouldn't want to return (diapers, wipes, formula, bottles, blankets, etc.).

I registered for SwaddleMe's (which I love) and A&A blankets, but no clothes. Honestly, people will give you clothes and toys whether you register for them or not. Even if you register for them, people will pick out things they like. I wouldn't bother registering for that stuff!

I would have two registries, it's always nice to have options especially if one store is far for people.

I wouldn't put duplicates on there though, then you'll be dealing with a lot of returning things, something that you don't want to have to deal with right before the baby comes. You're already going to have to be doing lots of sorting, organizing, etc, so try not to add any more extra work then you have to. I would just go through each store and see what you like best, maybe look for better prices.

I didn't put toys on there or cute dresses, but I did put things like plain white onesies, sleep sacks, swaddles, mittens, stuff like you mentioned that I was worried people wouldn't buy me on their own.

Actually, you can register at as many places as you want with BabyList. Have you heard of them? The site works just like Pinterest except after you're done creating your registry, you send your family and friends a link and they reserve what they will purchase for you.

We had 3, but really only one (BBB) and two minor ones at BRU and Target. There is only one Bed Bath and Beyond in our are that has a baby department (it has a ByeByeBaby inside, no separate store nearby) so we had the other two for people out of the area or who didn't want to shop there. People got us what they wanted anyway...a lot that was not on any registery and we did a lot of returning but had no problems returning to any of the stored.

ETA: the only thing duplicated on the registries was my breast pump which I didn't think anyone would actually buy. Per my mom's recommendation my grandma got it from BBB. It crapped out on me shortly after starting to use it and they let me exchange it for a PISA due to a manufacturing defect. Awesome customer service.
