BRU Gift Card

[MrsMB]

What would you buy from BRU with a $140 gift card?

[Koala]

Currently, I'd probably save it for our next car seats, when the babies outgrow their buckets.

A few weeks ago, I would have put it towards high chairs.

[jessnpaul]

LOL... I've had $300+ in BRU gift cards since DS was born almost 4 years ago ;-)

I'm slowly spending them since I'm pregnant, but I prefer the stuff at BuyBuyBaby so much more. I've bought bottles, nursing tanks, etc. We'll probably eventually need another carseat so hopefully I can spend it on that as well!

[Poeticxpassion]

I would stock up on diapers or use it for a big ticket item like a car seat, swing, etc.

[soozy87]

Diapers or a car seat.

[browneyedgirl9]

My DS is 2. But i would probably buy a playhouse for outside. Or some other outside toy

We have about $300 there and are planning to use it for a car seat and a high chair. We recently used some other GCs there to buy a exersaucer. I can't wait for him to be big enough to use it because I think he's going to love it!

This is what we did with ours too. We bought the convertible car seats, high chair and baby gates. Easier to spend it on a few big ticket items. Smaller stuff tends to be cheaper and easier to buy at Amazon and target.

Save it for the next car seat.

hmm... I kind of hate that store and nothing I really want is ever sold there. I know that is a common opinion around here. If your preferred car seat is sold there, then save for then.

I went in there at lunch today because I needed a cheapy travel booster high chair because we are going to the beach for 5 days next week and I didn't want to go that long holding her every meal. They have all their feeding stuff on sale this week. Bottles, high chairs, spoons, etc. I got the booster 15% off the already low $20 price tag which was nice and unexpected. So maybe stock up on bowls/plates/bottles/sippy cups?

I'd either do a big ticket thing like highchair, gates or a convertible seat...or I'd just use it for clothes, formula, etc. I believe they have a really good diaper sale Easter weekend, and the pouches go on sale at different times too.

Yes, which is why I've had gift cards with $$$ in my pocket for years! They never have what I want! 

I hate that store, and my SIL works for their corporate. So I feel like I should shop there more to support her company. But they just don't have good stuff and even worse customer service!

[pinotgrig]

G is almost 2, so I would buy a bigger toy like the roller coaster, trampoline, or tunnel.

Eta - With a little one like you, I would put towards a car seat or use for diapers.

[brandienee]

Carseat is a great idea.

I've been thinking about them since DS is a giant. LOL

Next size car seat. I had a bunch saved from DD1 that I didn't use. When DD2 was born, I didn't need much but I used some gcs to buy a few new items of clothing, diapers, bottle nipples, and diapers.

[boiler717]

Carrier?

[Susie]

I'd save toward the convertible car seat that we'll be buying in the fall.

[sent]

I feel like I'm always at BRU since DD was born. I've bought lots of Pampers diapers, Enfamil formula, pouches, feeding stuff like bottles and now sippy/straw cups, potty training stuff and toys. I sometimes buy clothes too. They had a better selection of the pouch brands I bought compared to the grocery store. They also sell the larger boxes of overnight diapers by Pampers and Pampers Sensitive in sizes 4 and 5. Target stops selling Pampers Sensitive in size 3 and is hit or miss if they carry the Pampers overnight diapers. (I used the sensitive kind when she used to get diaper rashes). For regular diapers and formula I used to watch their sales. I don't feel like BBB ever has sales on diapers or formula.

I did buy my convertible at BBB. They didn't carry the one we wound up buying at BRU. We also went to BBB to buy it because I feel the people who work in the car seat/stroller aisle seem to know their stuff.

[VillainV]

Diapers. Or I'd get a lot of clothes on sale a size or two up, figuring if they didn't fit I could save them for (hypothetical) #2 or donate to charity.
