Where to buy furniture for babies?

[bavarian-girl]

Hi everyone,

as we are expecting in April we start to "hunt" for everything that's needed. For most of it I already identified some sources.
The only thing that I'm not clear yet is where to buy furniture for babies (cot, changing station etc.).
I'm looking for something nice, not too cheap and not too expensive.

Do you have any experiences?
Do you know any furniture stores?
(around Helsinki/Espoo)

Thank you
Andrea

IKEA has changing tables..Mostly enuff if you are in apartment style living.
MASKU, ASKO, ISKU, etc also have them but at comparably enormous prices
than IKEA.
Stockmann also has some changing tables and high chairs.

You could also search in http://www.huuto.net/fi/ ( but you need to understand some Finnish) A search for Lastenhoitovälineet yielded

These sites also carry furniture/bedding etc. for babies:

http://www.satuliisa.fi/
http://www.babyshop.fi/
http://www.seimi.fi/maine.html ( has lots furnitures for babies)

this site provides links to other baby sites apart from the above ones:

Thanks, that's quite a list!

I had already checked some of them. One thing I found is that the changing tables are a lot smaller than I know them. So my requirements might be special ...
Same with beds. I am looking for something where you can take out some of the bars (?) when they are older.

I keep on looking ...

Since you are German anyway, the best way to shop for baby things is ordering them on the Internet from Germany, especially if you have certain requirements as you mentioned. Many Finns do so as well. Much more selection and, if you choose the right suppliers, usually even cheaper than buying here.
