We believe that one of the most overwhelming purchases new parents make is the stroller. It is, and should be, the one purchase that requires the most thought. Strollers range greatly in size, weight, colour and function. There are many great strollers available, but not every great stroller is the right choice for every parent. Several factors come into play such as budget, vehicle size, size of parent, where you will use it, whether or not you have a garage, take public transit etc. Come into our store to see our lineup of Peg-Perego, First-Wheels, and Bugaboo strollers and we can demonstrate each model, answer all questions and help you fine-tune your decision in a no-pressure environment.

The great bumper pad debate has been on-going for several years. The AAP (American Assoc, of Pediatricians) has revised their statement about bumper pads. The association advises that bumpers should be firm, thin and tied securely. Avoid the use of ëpillowí bumpers or soft bumpers. Our bedding complies with these recommendations. We also offer ìbumperless beddingî for those parents who prefer not to purchase them. Our position at Small World, is that they are safe and useful, most people purchase them, but we will be happy to show you alternatives.

With the newer style of cloth diapers that are on the market, disposable diapers are not much more convenient that cloth diapers. The new multiple layer, Velcro fastening cloth diapers are just as easy to put on and take off as disposables. Cloth diapers do not really need to be presoaked, or even rinsed out. Flushable liners can be used with cloth diapers that let you lift the soiled liner off the cloth and flush the liner and the poop down the toilet. If you donít use liners, you can just dump the older babyís solids down the toilet. Cloth diapers usually only add about 2 extra loads of laundry a week to your schedule. If you arenít convinced, why not pick up just a few cloth diapers to give it a try. We sell them individually or as a kit. Stop in and check out our selection or buy on-line.

A quality crib is wooden and has either a metal mattress support or solid wooden slats. The hardware should be metal or a nylon/plastic compound. Avoid clear brittle plastic hardware. Most cribs convert to toddler day-beds which extend the life of the crib. Some even convert to double bed. Today's trends include dark-stained cribs like Java and Weathered-Ebony. All of our cribs are available in a variety of stains to suit your style and decor.
