Perth BBers - where did you get all your baby gear from?
Hello!
I've decided today that I'm going to stop freaking out and try to accept that I'm pregnant and most likely will stay that way until late January.
I really want to start looking at baby stuff, which I've been dreaming about for so long.
The problem is I have very little idea of what I need and where to get it from.
Any recommendations for the best baby shops in Perth?
I need everything, but would like to look at cots, change tables, prams, basinettes, baby capsules, clothes etc etc etc... All the paraphernalia. Am hoping I can convince DH to do a 'just for fun' shopping expedition tomorrow to check things out (and maybe pick up a few little items...)
There is a baby bunting in Balcatta on Erin dale road...
The other thing is check out the quokka or ebay - tehre are often great bargains on there, thigs like clothes, bouncers adnhigh charis (goddamn they are expensive!! lol)
And Baby on a Budget - there is one in Port Kennedy but Im not sure where there other stores are
Target, Big W adn KMart are also really great for sheet,s blankets, wipes are always cheaper, baths, nappy bags, etc, as they will be much cheaper than getting cot stuff from the nursery stores
I got everything for DD#1 at Baby Boom in Nedlands. Got a really great deal on everything because I bought it all in the one place. There is a Baby on a Budget in King Edward Street, Osborne Park and Babyland on Frobisher Street, Osborne Park.
Love Love Love BabyRoad on Leach Hwy!! Have always had awesome experiences there!!! We even had the store to ourselves late one afternoon after closing!!
I bought Charlie's cot, drawers, pram and cradle from BabyonaBudget in Canning Vale. In fact just about everything I got I got from there. I managed to get a matching nursery suite from LoveNCare from them. They also gave me a 10% card that lasted a year after my first purchase, so that saved us some money in the long run too.
I did get Charlie's baby seat from a place in Midland though. Babyzone, I think? But when he moved to a Maxirider, I got that from BOAB too. :P
We got the majority of our stuff from Baby West in Balcatta - they have 12% discount days every now and then so I would always ring them and ask if they had a sale on
For checking out things only, we went to Baby Expo in Balcatta as they seemed to have the biggest range of stuff, then went to Baby West to buy it all
Thanks very much everyone. I ended up checking out Babyland in Osborne Park, and Baby on a Budget. Everything is so cute, but so much stuff to buy.
Will have to check out some of the other stores as I get more of an idea just what I need.
If we end up buying lots of stuff from the same place it's good to know I can ask for a discount. I'm starting to freak out about how much it's all going to cost!
