I want to buy my babies some clothes from BabiesRUs, are Miniwear, Carter's, Gerber %26amp; Koala Baby good brands? My twins are small in weight, but long babies. I heard that Gerber tends to run abit short, %26amp; that Carter's has good length. What about Miniwear %26amp; Koala Baby clothes that are the BabiesRUs Brand? I have newborn clothes from Carter's that I bought at the NEX, but not much more than that. I wanted to get some things for the girls to wear when thier daddy gets back from Iraq in June.They will both be 3 months at that time, %26amp; I was going to get a few cute summer outfits to choose from in order to greet thier daddy at the pier. I want things that hold up well though, not too much shrinking, are long enough %26amp; true to size.All the Carter's newborn stuff has been great, but I saw that BabiesRUs Miniwear is cute too, they have little sundress outfits that run about $15 each set. Has shoes, little pants, ect.Really cute.Anybody's opinions %26amp; expierance on this brands is appreciated

i shop at babiesrus (not exclusively). we liked carters a lot at first, and still do, but found other brands we like more like Zutano and Gymboree. We aren't stuck on namebrand but when it comes to baby clothes, you can tell the difference between cute and good quality and cheap and ugly. I personally like Koala, they have some really cute stuff. We've bought a few of their outfits and we have this white knit sweater we bought for 0-3 and thank goodness at still fits at nearly 6mos because we love it so much! As for miniwear... we don't like it very much. their cute items are few and far between and they have a lot of ugly items. We don't like gerber because they do run small. Shopping at the NEX/BX is fine and all but we've stopped shopping their because there is better selection elsewhere and better prices a lot of the time. Seriously, try EBAY! I LOVE IT! A lot... we've found tons of awesome stuff on there. We got a Zutano outfit for $8 a Harajuku outfit for $30 and a Gymboree outfit for $17 and Carters PJ's for $3. Lots of it is new with tags, gently used or new with out tags or washed and worn hardly at all or not at all.





BTW babies r us is having a sale- buy one carter's get one half off.
Reply:i like carter's, they have cute design. My child is a son so it's hard to pick style for him. Carter has all the cute style. Walmart sell cheaper compare to babiesrus. If you have carter outlet, go there. It's way cheaper too. Today I went to walmart, I got my son couple of clothes, socks, mitten and hat. Cheap because they're on sale and very cute.
Reply:I also do not like Gerber and Koala Baby b/c my son grows out of them before he wears them more than twice. He fits in the Carter's longer and I have found them to be a better quality %26amp; thicker.
Reply:I love carters. They run true to size and are very good quality. The same goes for Koala baby. I have never bought any clothes in that brand that i wasnt happy with and their outfits are so cute. I personally do not care to much for gerber clothes. They tend to run small and shrink and the fabric thins out after a few washes. I hve no experience with mini wear brand. I also like old navy baby clothes. They have really cute baby girl stuff and are affordable. A tip for making your baby clothes fit better is to wash them in warm water and hang them to dry or dry on low heat.
Reply:Like everyone else, I really like Carters line. My daughter is almost 7 months, average size and she cal still wear her 3 month clothes. They're sturdy and wash great.





I also really like Old Navys clothes. They have cute sun dresses right now, but are a little on the pricey side.
Reply:I have always had good luck with babies r us clothes %26amp; with Targets brands, also have had good luck with JCPenney's okie dokie seperates %26amp; old Navy. All are not too expensive but cute %26amp; held up just fine.
Reply:I love Carters...Gerber is AWFUL.





I like the baby clothes from Old Navy, they fit well, and Koala Baby I do like the few outfits I have of theirs.





Bon BeBe is good...but I cannot stress how much I like Old Navy...they are good priced and they have a big selection online with $5 flat shipping.
Reply:I am actually in mad love with the Zutano clothing line. Babycenter.com and if you google you can find it other places.





But all those brands are good, I like the Carter's the best out of the whole list. They don't look 'worn out' as fast as the others.
Reply:Gerber onsies do tend to be on the shorter side, as with Carter's they are longer. Those other brands are good too. We have all brands in our home.
Reply:Carter's is my favorite, my son is very um, stocky, and that brand has always fit him well. Gerber is about one size smaller than it says, compared with other brands. Koala Baby is very cute, and the same quality/make as Carter's.
Reply:Loooooooove Carter's. The cotton is of fantastic quality, the styles are cute, they don't shrink in the wash and they have the best PJs. Hated Gerber. Poor quality cotton and sizes were way too small. I love The Gap stuff, specially all the sales items that come in real cheap.
Reply:Those are all good brands. To see if they fit, you could try bringing some clothing that actually fits them well, and compare.





Personally, I never shopped at BabiesRUs, but find many Carter's and other excellent clothing at WalMart and GoodWill (costs far less, so my boys got more--and, babies grow VERY fast). My boys were, and still are, quite large for their ages, so finding clothing that fit well was always a trick.
