You can't buy any baby equipment there which isn't COSCO (China Ocean Shipping COmpany) stuff.

This bothers me.

Oh yes you can! When I worked at Target I generally stocked the infants/toddlers department and I always made sure that American made baby equipment outnumbered China-made goods on the salesfloor. And now I'm having a big brain fart trying to think of the manufacturer's names... I think Safety 1st was one, Graco may have been another one. I'd stock them on the shelves in a way that made the "MADE IN USA" sticker figure prominently for shoppers.

I shop Wal Mart for stuff that gets used - diapers, motor oil, paper products, light bulbs, fertilizer.

For durable goods, or semi-durable stuff that you intend to keep for awhile, Wal Mart is not always the best choice as they've forced suppliers to cut costs so dramatically, anything you buy there will be made as cheaply as possible, for the most part.
