Your due date is just around the corner. You’re dreaming of a modern, stylish nursery with gorgeous furniture, or that amazing stroller your friends are raving about, or the car seat with the highest safety rating for your sweet little babe. It can be hard to find really great, quality baby products. Active Baby Vancouver is one of the few places where you can be sure to find unique, high quality gear, toys and clothes for your baby or child.

Even though there’s not a location super close to me, if there’s something I need for my kids, it’s my second stop. When my local kids shop doesn’t have what I’m looking for, I always make the trip out to Active Baby because it’s so worth it! They have three locations, one in Langley on 200th St by Willowbrook Mall, one in North Vancouver on Lonsdale Ave., and one in Vancouver on West Broadway.

On top of having the higher end brands than the big box baby stores like Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us, they also offer local brands and smaller shops such as Jax and Lennon Co, Bambi and Birdie and K’pure Naturals. Their website boasts a “Made in Canada” tab so you can easily shop for these local brands online!

Active Baby Vancouver also offers the best quality in furniture and gear for your kiddos at any stage. Whether you’re looking to outfit a brand new nursery or move your little kids up to a booster seat, they offer modern and well-made options for it all. Uppababy and Bugaboo strollers, Clek car seats, which are made in Canada and have amazing safety ratings, and gorgeous Stokke cribs can all be found here.

Your new baby deserves great quality items. Who wants to spend money on things for their little munchkin just to have them break or be uncomfortable? Active Baby Vancouver carries long-lasting and quality options for almost everything you need to give your baby the best start at life, and to make the transition to motherhood easier for you. Because really, that’s the goal. A happy baby and some semblance of rest for mama as she figures out her new, all-encompassing role!
