It’s hard to know where to begin when it comes to preparing for a newborn. Here are great a few baby boutiques in Toronto where expectant moms and dads can pick out the latest and greatest gear for little ones.
Located up at Avenue and Lawrence, you’ll find good prices and a wide range of products and brands at this specialty shop. Parents-to-be can shop for beautiful cribs, nursery furniture, strollers and car seats. There’s also an extensive selection of bottles, pumps and other baby essentials, including high chairs, toys and clothing.
If you’re an eco-conscious parent, this green baby boutique is a great place to shop for environmentally friendly baby products. The shop carries a wide range of newborn necessities, all of which have been chosen for their sustainability, non-toxicity and overall high quality. That means lots of organic cotton, unpainted wood and upcycled materials. The College Street and Queen Street locations both host informative workshops covering everything from cloth diapers to baby photography to CPR.
In business since 1945, this longstanding Dundas West baby store has a great reputation for a reason. The family-run spot specializes in selling and servicing high quality strollers from big name brands (Peg Perego, Maclaren, Baby Jogger) and also offers full refurbishment of heirloom prams. The staff here are known for their friendly and detailed-oriented approach when it comes to customer service. In addition to baby carriages, moms and dads will also find bedding, furniture, car seats, high chairs and accessories.
Located in the Upper Beach, this green-certified natural parenting store was founded by a couple who are both truly passionate about natural, organic products for children and babies. The shelves are lined with natural laundry soaps, baby body care, cloth diapers and carriers all made with natural and organic ingredients and fibers. Loyal customers can also take advantage of the in-store rewards program.
This store is, well, beautiful. The modern and design-focused showroom carries an array of high-end baby products, including sculptural Scandinavian inspired cribs, geometric mobiles, and stunning rockers that look like they’ve been lifted out of a home décor magazine. This is the place to go if you want gorgeous stuff for your little nugget, provided you have the budget.
