I registered at BRU and Target. I just registered for things I liked at both, and then went through it later online to delete things that overlapped.

i think we're twins. i was literally just talking to my mom about this, just now. i'm putting the "major" things at babies r us because i thought people would check there first. and 'others' at target - also divvying up based on any huge price differences. just because i know of price matching policies doesn't mean others will.

and i plan to keep an eye out - if something gets bought, ill delete off the other (cups, bottles, etc).

I ended up registering for the same things at both. It made it easy. I knew that people here would buy from one place while people in our hometowns would buy from the other. I figured that even if we did get duplicates, we could just exchange them when we make our final pre-baby shopping trip.

I was so discouraged with the local BRU selection that I decided to register totally online. I have a BRU registry also with some overlap but plan to just keep an eye on it.

Target and BRU had great return policies so if you get a duplicate it's not bad at all. Actually I liked getting duplicates because I could then put the store credit towards leftover items I REALLY needed. We only paid about $50 out of pocket for our carseat because of all the store credit we accumulated from returns.

I did register for a few of the same things at amazon and BRU, but I kept an eye on both registries so if one got bought, I'd delete the other. People were more likely to buy off BRU than amazon.

I registered at BRU and Target. For some items, like the pack n play, Target was about 15% cheaper for the same item in a different pattern/color. Most of the stuff I registered for at BRU though, since that seemed to be the most popular place for family to shop at.

@c.sassy: I'm doing exactly this. I'm using Amazon as our main registry and added the same stuff (that was available in store) at BRU-- mostly because I know people usually end up getting things last minute at brick-and-mortar stores for baby showers.

I also plan on being a registry stalker and marking things off as "Already purchased" if it gets bought on the other registry.
