Good places to register?

Allison
I live in upstate New York(45minutes from the Canadian border) there is only a Walmart & Target near by. They have a babies r us in Burlington,Vermont. It's a little bit of a hike. Do you think it's unreasonable to register at a store out of state? Meaning family & friends would have to order online and pay shipping or travel and pay for gas & Ferry fees. Is there any good baby stores to register online?
