I had two, one at Amazon for my web savvy friends and family and Babies R US for the last minute buyers and for the people who preferred buying in person.

I think 2 is good! Anything more might be too much!

I think having two registries is a good idea. Having a store closer to all (Target) may ensure that more people buy from your registry, especially for those that don't like to order online. But I also think that having another option, and another store/list (with the options that aren't available at Target), is also a great idea, too.

Now if there was just a way to make sure folks ordered from your registry.

We registered at both of those places. I think variety is good.

I had both Target and BRU - and almost everyone bought off my Target registry (only one bought off my BRU one). If I had to do it again, I wouldn't bother with BRU - the completion discount has a lot of exclusions (the exact same as the 20% off coupon you get every month if you're part of the rewards club).
I did create an Amazon registry as well - no one bought anything off that one, but the prices are so much better that I'll be taking advantage of my completion discount and getting a lot of the "last minute essentials" from there.
Also, beware the "online only" items at Target - I'm finding most of them don't qualify for their "free shipping on $50 or more", which also makes Amazon so much more awesome.

I had one at Buy buy baby and BRU

I had two and think two are a great idea. Only two people bought from my brick and morter store (BRU) everyone else bought stuff from Amazon.

I do have to give props to BRU. I found the one near my house was horrendous but I went to one a little further away this weekend and the staff was super helpful. They even took back a book I had been given even though their register said they don't sell it!

I was the same as @autumnlove and @mediagirl - I wanted Amazon because they have everything and BRU for all the folks who might want to go to a "real" store.
