Nothing will be open on Monday (besides the 'local' shops MummaB mentioned). Rockingham is a good 45 mins from the CBD and Mandurah is even further and I doubt either will be open on Monday. Your best bet is to shop on Saturday.
The CBD and Freo are the only areas open on Sunday and trading hours are from noon - 5pm. I live in Freo and there isn't really much in the way of baby shops except for Myer and Target. The city is about the same.
If you want a good shopping centre, I'd suggest Karrinyup (has DJ's, Myer and Big W), Innaloo (Target & KMart) or Garden City (DJ's, Myer and KMart). Karrinyup and Innaloo are north of the CBD (about 15 mins drive) and quite close to each other. Garden City is south, about 15-20 mins from the CBD. Public transport is not the best option so I'd suggest a taxi if you don't have a car.
The proper baby shops are scattered all over the place. Osborne Park (very close to Innaloo) has a couple and so does Myaree/Booragoon which is close to Garden City. They're generally situated with furniture shops, Bunnings, etc.
Perth sucks for shopping at the best of times! I work in Fremantle and its not open Mon public hol, as other girls have mentioned the only places open are Rockingham/mandurah which are at least half hr/45 mins from city and don't have as much choice as city stores. I would suggest relaxing on public hol!!
Thanks so much for all the info, i was able to have a check of this thread through my phone (still proud of myself for working that out!!), and saw that rockingham was open, so Monday we went for a drive and made our first purchases
Got a couple of suits, best and less was nice, a few muslim wraps, a pair of socks.
On Tuesday we had less than an hour but managed to go to babywest at cannington who was having a sale, although we weren't ready to make purchases yet was a good eye opener. My favourite purchase was maternity (body) pillow Also popped into toys'r'us and managed to get a swaddle wrap and a dummy that closes when dropped - look pretty cool.
We're heading back in about a month to have our 20wk scan so plan to make a few of the bigger purchases then.
Thanks again for all your help, info and suggestions
