I found the Merry Go Round a great alternative. It has a decent selection, and their staff is actually knowledgeable and opinionated (something you won't find at BabiesRUS!). As other reviewers have mentioned, this store is a more expensive than the national chains, but for me, I appreciated going to a location where the shopping experience was pleasant and hassle-free. It is also not SO high end that you feel like you have to drive up in a Mercedes or BMW to fit in. They also do have occasional sales.
