I actually prefer Target. But Wal-Mart does have a bit more selection. Target is much cleaner by far.

adopting from China as well :)

I like Target better too. Wal-mart is dirty, you are right. My Target has a better baby section than my Wal-mart does.

Very exciting that you are buying stuff for the trip. Come on Travel Approval!

I prefer Target too -- never could figure out why people seem to like Walmart better.

SO exciting that you're getting ready for The Trip!!!

TARGET! TARGET! TARGET! Especially Super Target (I highly suggest the one off Capital). I am too too excited about your trip and your baby girl! She is gorgeous!

"Go Target..."!!!!!!

Target by far. I agree that target's aisles are wider and cleaner, and it's just a more pleasant experience.

I heard a story recently on NPR that Walmart's goal is to get you and your money parted as quickly and efficiently as possible, where Target's is to get you to stay a while and find more items you might "need". They design their stores that way.

Target also doesn't lock workers in overnight (that I'm aware of), and isn't driving out small town businesses everywhere.

TARGET!!! I watched a PBS special all about why Walmart Sucks! The biggest issue for me as a Public Health Nurse and a tax paying citizen is that Walmart does not give their employees health insurance until you have been there 6 months full time, or 2 years part time....therefore taxpayers subsidize Walmart employees Medical assistance!!! There were many, many other factors that make Walmart a bad choice for any thoughtful consumer.

Wal Mart. Only because when you are raising children, they have a wider selection and better prices. (I'm talking everyday stuff like diapers and all the other things that go on or in an infant. However, Target has a much better selection of CUTE/CUTE/CUTE little girl clothes. And (hint-hint) also have toys from leading toy manufacturers which are better than the for Walmart only selections (which don't hold up as well. This would be a great time to also check out Kids R Us (not the same as Babies R Us, though owned by the same company). They have a very good selection of little girl clothes (trust me on this, I spend most clothes money for toddlers here, particularly when they go on sale).

But Walmart has the best deals on diapers/formula and health aides. Did you know that you can even by formula by the cases there, and save even more money? Yeah, Walmart can be a pain, might want to work that time into a schedule when it won't be as crowded.

Another hint: Target stocks during the night, so the best shopping selections are done early. At least the Targets out here, during non-holiday periods get their bulk of deliveries twice a week. Walmart puts theirs out whenever bodies are available and not busy covering other areas.
