Full review
I am a member of the Baby Center web site and have been for over 3 years now. I joined when I was still pregnant with my daughter Emmily. Now she is three and I still visit the site daily.
Over the years I have shopped in the Baby Center Store online. They have a lot of items to choose from. Such as, Carters out fits, robes, bath items, toys, costumes, strollers and many more items including furniture for babies and toddlers. The prices on the furniture are quite high. My guess is that is because it is top of the line and great quality. The rest of the items and clothing that the Baby Center Store sells are very fairly priced. Same as you would see in stores or cheaper.
Many times I see items on th Baby Center Store web site that I have seen in Walmart or K-mart for nearly twice the price. I have also purchased many learning toys from the site, these have helped me to teach my daughter basic words and the ABCS and things like that. You should check into that for pre pre-schoolers. They can be of help and you will find many things to choose from on the Baby Center Store's site.
The Baby Center Online Store tends to have great sale and clearance items nearly every week. So it is often good to just stop in and see what they have for a better price.
The last item I purchased was an infant robe made by Carter, it included the slippers and cost only $19.99. I ordered a size 6 months for my nephew Richard. I didn't know what else to get him other then toys for Christmas so I figured this would be a cute idea. The shipping was low for my order, only $3.97. I was pleased by that because I saw this robe in Baby depot and they had wanted 25.99 for it. So in reality, I got it cheaper by shopping at the Baby Center Online Store. It is always great to get a bargain.
I used my Visa card to pay for the purchase as I often use from them. They do take all major cards and electronic checks as well. The Baby Center Store is quite safe and secure so I have no problems putting my credit card through the service they provide.
The Robe and slippers arrived about 5 days after I ordered it. This is about the wait I have often had with them. Once there was a delay so they emailed and let me know. I appreciated that a lot. But every other time went flawlessly fast and smooth.
Also I just want to mention that they have baby names on the site, as well as info and advice for new parents or ones with problems reguarding the child you have or are having. I find this of great use and visit the store more often because I spend a lot of time looking at other areas of the site, and I myself have gotten a few great pointers from them. They also have live chat forums for advice or just to talk.
To order from the Online Baby Center Store you simply find the items you want. Click the add to cart button on each item page you have chosen to purchase. When you are done doing that, you then click on the check out tab and your on your way to purchasing your items.
It will bring up a page for you to put your mailing information into it. Then it will take you to the page to enter your payment info in. After that you click submit and your done. You will get a confirmation email with an invoice. When your items are shipped you get another email to let you know your items are on the way to you. From there you have a short wait, a few days to two weeks depending on the item availability in your order. You can check the availability before you even add them to your cart so you know better when you will get the stuff that you ordered.
Every thing about this site is easy to use, fast and friendly in service and an all around great place to shop at. I do highly recommend tying this store out. It is a place where you can find most if not all of the items you need for your little one.
