Target Baby Sale - product opinions pls

[alioops]

I was talking to the nursery manager at my local target and she said they have some sort of nursery sale every 4 weeks. I am going to be going in regularly because the stroller I want is out of stock, they have even sold the display model. I am hoping they have it on sale when it comes in, but it is still cheaper than getting it at another store.

Is the sale over?

Has any one every used the Target mail order service? Any good?
My Target is useless - I was after some of the organic items (like cot sheets) and they had nothing....just a few random clothing items. Grrr....

Hi bronners, never used the mail-order service but I had a look at the Organic bedding sets and they are a definite buy if you can pick them up online.
I ended up picking up x2 of the Organic Cotton Large Interlock Wraps which are sooo soft, they also sold the Muslin wraps and bibs.

Thanks Nicole S! I shall look into it

I managed to pick upone of those cotton wraps too (soooo soft and gorgeous)

Did they come in any colour other than white?

[Nicole S]

Nop, didn't see them in any other colours

i think given they're an "organic" product,they'd keep the use of dyes and such to a minimum to keep them as natural as possible

You should check they can't rain check it for you. We went in at 9am to get a pram on sale on the opening day of the sale. They only had one in stock and another lady wanted it who already had her baby. So we got a rain check and Target will send us a letter when it's in stock.

I have already checked It's not on the raincheckable list.

Hi there, I'm new to this site... just happened along it when I was googling a highchair that I spotted at Target last week Well the sale started again today. I put my Steelcraft cruiser stroller and capsule on layby last week and they wern't on sale! Grrrr so I called up Target this morning and asked them my options. GOOD NEWS is if I take my dockets in they will take the percentage off the goods already on layby! YAY So, hubby is popping in there on his way home from work to do the deal. My local target didn't actually have the pram in stock so I had to order with a card and it will be in store within the next few weeks. So, hubby and I went trecking on Saturday and found a Target store that did have the pram so we could have a play. We had watched the woman on youtube doing a demo of how easy the pram was to use, so were quietly confident about being able to use it... Well... My hubby almost ended up tangled in the thing, fortunately the sales rep just walked by giving us a strange look. Eventually we worked it out, and it is surprisingly simple! I would also like to note that it did recline quite a lot so quite suitable for a newborn Everyone better get back to Target!

Hi LittleMissLeft - I picked up my Cruiser + bassinet + capsule last Thursday and have put the Pram together already (only 20 weeks early) I'm really happy with it and its easy to collapse once you know how. I have it in our Loungeroom with the bassinet part on - ready to go! Few dramas with the Capsule (its in my blog if you're interested) but sorted now!

[littlemissleft]

Hi! I read your blog... yeah, I saw that recall notice... thought it would be kind of obvious if I got the capsule home and it was missing bits! We found the stroller really easy to pop up and down once we worked it out! Hubby said it's too simple, that's why we didn't pick up on it right away. I am impressed with the colour scheme too as we were told that we are having a little girl and I think pink will look rather cute with the slate colour At first we were looking for everything pink, but realised that Australia is lacking in that department... it took us aaaages to find a pink swing and we ended up having it shipped all the way from England... postage was more expensive than the swing in the first place. Though it is absolutely goooorgeous! If the scan was wrong I sure hope he loooves pink! LOL Thanks for your comments, I feel very confident of my choice, the only negative I have heard about this system is that the bubs sits quite low in the stroller, I didn't feel that when I was fiddling with it but I'm only 5ft 2in anyhow! Hubby is 6ft 4in but he found it fine as the stroller handle is adjustable, and he has a good back LOL. I have heard people raving about the Strider, and I looked into it online... Though it does look great, the closest stockist to me is hours away! It seems much of a muchness (as much as I love the colours I would go with the slate anyway) and the cruiser is a little less expensive, as well as being just around the corner! oooooh and don't forget Fly Buys!
