Lollipop

Lollipop calls itself “a boutique for children in shanghai”, the word boutique says it all… they don’t accept credit cards which only means you should come with a very full wallet if you want to have some fun!
They stock yummy beautiful trendy things, one of those stores where you go “oh that’s cute” at everything, whether you really “need” any of it is irrelevant I suppose..
They sell cloth diapers (Bambino Mio and Fuzzibunz), really cool stick-unstick art for the wall, really nice cards and these great lunch boxes and plates.
It’s a great place to go to for gifts.

There is a good website from Hong Kong where you can buy baby products, including natural cream, washable diapers, the Ergo baby carrier and lots more. The best thing is that they deliver to Mainland China. Take a look www.doubibou.com

Next Age Mall

The 8th Floor of the Next Age Mall in Pudong has the largest selection of baby goods I’ve so far seen in town. The whole floor is dedicated to kids, lots and lots of toys, clothes, strollers, and the usual baby supplies.
Toys brands available here are: Lamaze (I love these toys), K’s Kids, Fisher-Price, Tolo, Play Skool and many others.
Pushchair brands: Goodbaby, Aprica, Combi, Inglesina, Angel, Esprit. They seem to have quite a few models of each especially Aprica, combi and Goodbaby.
There is a big display of Avent and Nuk breastfeeding products as well as the usual selection of baby things.
So overall similar to other baby shops in town but way bigger and with a wider selection.
Next Age, n.501 Zhangyang Road, cross road Pudong Nan Road (just where the Fuxing tunnel comes up)- Nearest Metro stop is Dongfang Road.

ISetan-Nanjing Road

The Japanese store Isetan is also a useful place to pick up a few things, although prices are not low. They have imported clothes (not cheap!!) and toys as well as selection of pushchairs (Quinny, Inglesina, Combi, Aprica), cots, baby carrier (I saw one), feeding bottles etch… The staff was very patient demostrating how to open and close several pushchairs I am vaguely interested in and the shopping environment is clean and not crowded. Nice place although there wasn’t anything in particular I can recommend it for. Worth having a look if you are looking for something specific you haven’t found in the other big malls.
ISetan is located on Nanjing West road, by Jiangning Road in the Meilongzhen Mall.

Jiuguang City Plaza

The designer shopping mall next door to Jingan Temple not only has a great supermarket in the basement, Freshmart, where you can get the best bread sticks from Yamazaki and nice organic veggie, it also has a nice little section for mamas and mamas-to-be on the 6th floor.
There are some designer baby shops like the French Jacadi, which along the side of very cute but overpriced clothes stocks Baby Bjorns (1700+rmb) and Peg Perego Pramette (7000+rmb); Hallmark, KingKow…
In the corner there is a spread of different brands.
I found a goodish selection of baby carriers: Combi (0+) at 699rmb, Chicco (0-3.5kg) at 788rmb, Aprica (0-30 months) at 498rmb or (4+) at 328 rmb. One surprise find was a cotton baby sling which I hadn’t seen previously in town, the brand is called Mamaway and the sling is very colourful and cheap (278rmb) and comes with a dvd with instructions.
They also have a couple of brands of washable diapers which looked a big flimsy but were very cheap.
For pushchairs the selection feautures Chicco, Aprica, Combi, McLaren, Graco pretty much the same as any other big mall.
The stock of Lamaze toys will most definitely have me going back as they seem really fun and colourful.
Dr.Brown’s bottle and feeding products are here in a good selection, as well as WELEDA, PIGEON and Nacnac.
Shopping here is rather relaxing as there is hardly anyone around and the stuff were really helpful, let me open baby carriers and try them on and seemed pretty knowledgable on the products they stock.
