On our way into Babies R Us next door, I told my niece that we could check out Baby Depot in Burlington Coat Factory after going to Babies R Us. "I've never heard of Baby Depot!" she exclaimed. I probably wouldn't have either, except that my brother and sister-in-law we registered there.
My niece's mission for the morning was to buy a her new baby sister a few gifts for my sister's baby shower later in the day. After picking out a few items at Babies R Us, she decided that she wanted to see what Baby Depot had to offer before she spent her entire $50 budget.
The Baby Depot is located in the back of the store and was rather anticlimactic. I mean, since they give a special name to that department, I expected a few bells and whistles. But no. No bells. No whistles. Just a few rows of strollers and baby clothes. There was also a small section of toys and books, but everything seemed disorganized and chaotic.
My niece seemed an unimpressed as I was. She did pick out a three-piece pink creeper set with a teddy bear on it, and then decided that she would like to buy her little sister a picture frame. We looked through the display shelves that had picture frames, banks, baby books, etc. Then we found a pile of pictures frames stacked haphazardly on some shelves. I found one that said "Me and my big brother" so I started digging through the frames to find the big sister version. After knocking a few on the floor (oops!) I found it. It was deemed the perfect gift for her baby sister.
They seem to have a wider (and more organized) selection of items online and the prices were not any better or worse than anywhere else I'd shopped for baby gifts.
