As some of you guys know I'm new to Zurich.... I just wanted to know is there more places for kids stuff rather then just ToysRus... Like a bit cheaper... Where can I buy stroller.. Clothes.. Bed... Just any kids stuff... Thanks again

If you are not bothered about it being second hand, I would look out for ads on here. Also on the Families in Zurich and expat moms in Switzerland yahoo groups. People are selling things their kids have outgrown all the time.

Other than that, we take trips to Germany and back home to the UK.

Sorry to scare you, but Toys R Us is probably the least expensive option for an all-inclusive baby store. There are other stores, such as Bebehaus Wehrli, but this one carries only high end-ish stuff and is very expensive. I came from the US and was totally shocked at the prices for baby goods, so I feel your pain.

For those on a budget (me included):

furniture: IKEA, or search the forum for used items (they come up pretty often). IKEA also has bibs, wash cloths, a simple baby bath, changing table pad and covers, some soft blankets, etc.

clothing: H and M (make sure they have a baby section-the Bahnhofstrasse location near Jelmoli, Oerlikon, and the Glatt Zentrum, maybe others as well), or online at www.vertbaudet.ch or www.laredoute.ch . Also, used clothing bundles are frequently sold on EF. Also, for rain gear and snow suits, try searching for "Kinderboerse" in your area. Some are permanent, some are single day events, but often Reima and other good brands come up at reasonable prices.

Shoes: I always bought the Elephanten brand shoes, which worked well for my kids and are supposed to be good without costing a fortune. They have them at Dosenbach (and lots of other places).

strollers: You might try an online retailer, like www.babyjoe.ch or www.babybutt-ch.erwinmueller.com . Or, beg someone to bring one from across the border. Or used.

Also if you are on Facebook "Basel Buy and Sell" currently has kids clothes/toys and a stroller being sold.

many people rather drive to konstanz (the german border city) to do shopping. It is only 1 hour from zurich. You can get all kinds of things much cheaper and they also have a babywalz store there. The same baby stuff in www.baby-walz.ch can be double of the price than in www.baby-walz.de .

Good idea.

Hi,

If you know some german you can get second hand stuff on www.ricardo.ch

It's a great site. You do have to sign up though with your snail-mail address so they guarantee you are who you are.

Also, some bigger migros (one of the two prominent supermarkets) also sells kids stuff, aka clothes and toys. Sign up for famigros and you get special discounts and points.

Also your Gemeinschaftszentrum (community center) will have clothes/toys sales. check out yours here www.gz-zh.ch . The community center in Seefeld has an all year round one, meaning it's like a store, albeit second hand.

Cheers,

Justina
