Babies R US the Baby Superstore
2 reviews for Babies R US the Baby Superstore
The good: huge selection. If it's not here, you can get it online. There is always a sale, or coupons, if you're on the mailing list. Most items are reasonably priced anyway. And Babies R Us recently started carrying Seventh Generation diapers (biodegradable-yay! No guilt about using disposables and no irritation for baby's bum), wipes, cleaners, and Earth's Best baby food. The restrooms are fairly clean, considering they're used by children all day. There is also a mom's lounge for nursing mamas; it would be nice to see this more often rather than be relegated to bathrooms to feed our babies. Oh, and customer service is pretty good here.
The bad: did I say everything was reasonably priced? It is, except for the furniture, which is "Holy-Mary-Mother-of-God-I'd-rather-attempt-buildi ng-my-kid's-furniture-than-pay-these-exorbitant-pr ices" expensive. The store also becomes very crowded on weekends, and you feel like you're playing bumper cars with your shopping cart, trying to avoid the pregnant women and small children.
The ugly: the area. I won't come here alone, especially after dark. Every time I've visited this store, I've seen shifty looking people just lurking about in the parking lot. Last visit, the truck parked next to us had two dirty diapers thrown in its bed; I figure the diapers belonged to the truck owner's baby, or were thrown in by a passerby. Either way, it says something about the area that I don't like.
There are some great prices on jumbo size boxes of diapers here!!! I love it saves me bundles! The furniture prices are ridiculous!!! All of the other prices seem reasonable. The check out lines can be extremely long on the weekends (there are only three or four in the entire store). I like this place. They have just about anything you have ever heard of that is baby related.
