This store is a great neighbourhood store, I just wish it was in mine and short walk away, instead of a bike, bus or drive away. Baby and children's items galore, from baby carriers to cloth diapers to toys to all the odds and ends kids seem to need.
I went out of my way to visit because I wanted to try out a couple of different baby carriers. Unfortunately the time I visited there was no one particularly knowledgeable in babywearing, which is really too bad. I was told to come back another time when a babywearing monitor would be present, but as a busy mom finding a few moments to slip out of the house by myself isn't easy, and trying on multiple different carriers with my child is a no-go. Once he's up in a carrier, he likes to stay there, and gets rather grumpy when I have to put him down. Instead, being fairly experienced in babywearing myself I took advantage of being childfree to take my time checking them all out, trying them on and fiddling with all the adjustments.
So in the end I didn't end up buying a new baby carrier here, but I did pick up a bunch of other doodads, like a new snack cup and some bath toys. It was definitely a worthwhile use of my time, and if I'm in the area again, or need a gift for expectant parents, I know where to go! And if ever I want help in choosing a baby carrier, I'll be sure to call ahead. read more
