CBR - their customer service was SO much better than the other companies I researched and I also liked the fact that they bank their blood in an area that was safer than the other companies. Viacord is banked in a flood zone, CBR is in a desert. Call both companies (they are the most popular two) just to get a feel of who you think is better

Viacord's storage facility is in Ohio. If you ask one cord blood company for another company's information, they lie about the other company. Some of the reps are better than others, though.

Viacord-it's who my OB recommended and we got $250 off when they ran a promotion. When I was pregnant with my DD I felt like CBR stalked me and that turned me off. Honestly CBR & Viacord are the 2 best choices...

SAME EXACT Reasons why I chose CBR! I was origibally going to go with Viacord but its located right near a river in Ohio while CBR is in Arizona- that was the deal breaker for me!

I know this because my cousin works for Viacord, she actually told me it is located in a flood zone, and to go with CBR.

MY OB recommended CBR and Viacord. CBR has been stalking me since i went on their site early on in my pregnancy before I was ready to make a decision. That turned me off so we went with Viacord.
