Toronto Mommies - Where to shop for PP - Please help!

[Melias]

I have a friend in Buffalo who is willing to do a shopping run for me up to Toronto. I'm in desperate need of a PP Pramette. Not sold here in the USA, so I am very jealous of my neighbors to the north. Can anyone suggest a good place to shop for baby stuff in Toronto? I know they carry the stroller at Macklems, but the messages on the board state that they are kind of expensive.

Are there any other stores in Toronto that carry Peg products?

Thanks in advance,
Melanie

If she is coming from Buffalo, chances are she doesn't have to go all the way to Toronto or the east end. Between Buffalo to Toronto, there are several on the west side that carry Peg Perego.

- Baby World in Stoney Creek, www.babyworlds.com 905-560-4311
- Bonnie Togs in varies cities, but there is one in St. Catherine, 905-685-5680 and in Oakville, 905-829-2886
- Springy's Sports & Cycle (pram shop) in Hamilton, 905-544-2657
- Baby Palace in Mississauga, 905-823-3993
- Jacadi Paris in Mississauga, 905-569-2166
- Kiddies World in Mississauga, 905-624-9092

After these stores, you would get into the city of Toronto and there are several stores too

- Macklems, Baby's corner, Crayons, Dear-Born Baby Express, Li'l Niblets and Baby Sprouts, Marlene's Just Babies, Mini Circuit, Mother's Choice, etc.

I personally don't know much of the stores in Toronto, except Li'l Niblets and Macklems. I know more about the west end stores.

Springy's and Baby Palace tend to have excellent prices on Peg products. They also have good inventory of older products at very good prices. Baby Palace also carries CAM, Bebecar, etc.

Hope that helps.

I think just about any baby store would carry PP. PP has a factory in Pickering, just outside of Toronto. No outlet store though ;)
PP's website should have a retailers list. Look up Toronto, Thornhill, Markham, Mississauga, North York, Brampton, Vaughan and Scarborough. There are even stores in Pickering and Whitby if they want to travel that far. Although, I don't like the store in Whitby (Baby Shack).

Some store names that I like to deal with other than Macklem's

Dearborn, Li'l Niblets & Baby Sprouts, Safety Superstore/Babyproofing Plus, Mini Ciruit and even larger Bonnie Togs stores carry PP.

I don't find the prices vary greatly from store to store really. You may save a couple of bucks from one store to another. The biggest deals come from end of model year clearance and floor model sales. So, it may be worth it map out some stores and call around.

I think these guys will ship to the US:
