Toys ‘R’ Us

What can beat the pleasure of a visit to Toys R Us? this place has everything you need and even if you dont have kids bring a nephew or niece just to have the excuse to go there.

I spent quite a bit of time in here when I had my first, especially looking at the baby section. The older salespeople that work there have got it right — they take care of you and help you explore the products (I was looking at buggies) without making you feel too pressured to buy. The younger staff (mainly checkout) are the usual sulky teenagers.
The store is the same as any toys r us — designed to trap you as you enter mad make you go through a maze of aisles before you can get to what you want. They already have your kids’ absolute attention with all the great toys — I don’t get why they have to use such blatent child manipulation techniques.
As always, I will check prices online before going here as they are often cheaper on other sites.

Toys R Us Watford is on the outskirts of the main shopping centre with plenty of parking available. This particular store is quite small by Toys R Us standards and only carries a limited stock. Never the less this is a dream toyshop for everyone. It has a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and also a public toilet! This is a must for people with young children. The toys are quite expensive and could probably be found in Woolworth or Argos a lot cheaper. However having so many toys in one place allows you to look and compare before buying. I can happily spend an hour here with my children.
