5 Must-Shop Baby Stores In Toronto

From the moment you learn that you are expecting, your mind begins to wander as you imagine the outfits, decorations, and accessories that you will need to purchase as you start googling baby stores in Toronto! As exciting as it is, it is overwhelming as well!

As a mother myself, I know how important it is to find a baby store that is reliable and convenient. In times of urgency, there is truly nothing worse than feeling like you don’t know where to look to find what you need to help your child.

For that reason, I have compiled a list of 5 baby stores in Toronto that I can always count on to keep my baby inventory stocked! Are you a high-quality loving, budget-conscious, best-for-your-baby parent-to-be?! If so, this one is for you!

While these locations might be familiar to you for other shopping purposes, you may not be aware of the abundance of baby items available at each one! These stores are uniquely valuable, offering a large variety of products at differing price points, qualities, and styles. They may also be open later than your typical boutique shops, which is super convenient in those emergency situations where you run out of diapers, or need to pick up important supplies.

What to Look for In a Baby Store in Toronto

As a new or expecting parent, you undoubtedly want to get your shopping done as easily, efficiently, and effectively as possible. Here are a few things to consider when deciding where you are going to shop for your baby:

  • Accessibility

The thing about babies is that they will require new items continuously for the first several years of life. That means that your go-to baby store will ideally be nearby to where you live, to ensure it is accessible whenever you need last-minute diapers, wipes, or formula!

  • Budget

When it comes to the cost of baby items, the sky is the limit! Having a baby is a huge financial decision, which is why it is crucial to set a budget early on. With that being said, having a budget does not mean that you need to sacrifice quality! The right store will offer a variety of price ranges and qualities, allowing you to save on some items while maintaining the option to splurge on others.

  • Versatility in Items Sold

As mentioned earlier, the fewer stores you have to visit to clear everything on your shopping list, the better! The ideal baby store will carry everything you need, from furniture, to food products, to educational parenting tools!

5 Must-See Baby Stores in Toronto

Are you a Toronto local who is unsure of where to start your hunt for a great baby store? Look no further! We have compiled a list of the top 5 must-see baby stores in Toronto!

Winners 

This location is a great place to go if you are looking for boutique-style baby items at a department-store price! Winners is constantly cycling through different items, so it’s a great place for an avid shopper with a good eye. 

While you probably won’t be able to find everything you need within one stop at Winners, continuous trips over the months you wait for your baby to be born will give you plenty of opportunities to acquire everything you need and more!

Walmart 

In the same way that Walmart has your needs covered for most categories of your life, it continues to do the same for your baby! Walmart is consistent in providing everything you could need for your baby in a plethora of brands, price points, and styles!

While you may not have the fancy shopping experience you would at a boutique, you can trust that Walmart will get the job done!

Once Upon a Child

Once you discover this store, you will find yourself returning again and again for years to come! This second-hand store accepts only gently used and like-new clothing, furniture, and other baby items. That means you can trust that the clothing will be unstained, the furniture will be high-quality, and all of the other items will be ready to use.

Not only is shopping second-hand cost-effective, but it is a great way to decrease waste and garbage in your community!

Buy Buy Baby

A division of Bed Bath & Beyond, Buy Buy Baby is the ultimate one-stop-shop for your baby’s needs. They offer a registry service, which makes it easy to create a wish list and send it to your friends and family or include on baby shower invitations. They carry everything from car seats and strollers, to clothing and furniture. You’ll find all the popular brands here, as well some more natural options when it comes to diapers, wipes, creams and lotions.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a gift for an expectant mama, you’re sure to find what you need at Buy Buy Baby. Shop in-store or online and choose from curbside pickup or delivery.

Snuggle Bugz 

This store is 100% baby-item focused! Offering a higher tier of baby products than what you will find in Walmart, you can trust that Snuggle Bugz will have all of the items and brands that you will need. 

With constant sales and discounts available, it’s worth checking out!


At the end of the day, what matters most is that your baby is loved and cared for. Items and products are there to support you in your parenting journey, so it is important to ensure you know where to find those things when you need them! By being aware of great baby stores near you, you can be sure to have access to the things your little one needs most, and know where to go when you need to send your partner out for emergency supplies on their way home from work, or late at night!
