If you want really cute baby clothes or really unique baby gifts go to Lullaby Lane in San Bruno - they have really neat stuff! Their prices are on the high side but you will find beautiful items that you will never see in Babies R Us or Target. They also have a very informative staff that can really help you with all of your baby needs.
It is really crazy on the weekend but on the weekdays the store is quiet and you can have someone help you through the various areas and give you recommendations or even demonstrations on how the products work.
They also have two stores that flank the baby store - they have a clearance store on the left that has cribs, mobiles, strollers, playpens, gliders and other baby furnishings at reduced prices. On the right side of the baby store is Lullaby Lane Kids which has furniture for toddlers and older children.
The main baby store is comprised of four rooms - the first room carries strollers, prams, backpacks and carriers and basinettes, the second room has car seats, high chairs, bath equipment and clothes. Ah the clothes - they have beautiful dresses and christening gowns - I have purchased the christening gowns for all three of my children here - as they are beautiful and not super expensive like Nieman Marcus. The third room is filled with cribs and furniture and bedding - all of the cribs are set up and dressed in bedding so you can see all of the cribs and bed sets all in one place. The fourth room is filled with gliders and ottomans - they have one of the biggest selections of gliders I have ever seen.
They also offer a baby equipment class where they demonstate all types of baby equipment and make recommendations about what is really necessary - this is very helpful for first time parents. Also at the end of class they raffel off a car seat, and some other nice baby items to the class.
The Clearance store also has a rental department where you can rent baby equipment. You can also make an appointment with them to install your car seat into your car.
This is a great store for all parents!
