Sydney's best kids shops

Bay Bee Cino
Sydney mum Diana Baker was inspired by the birth of her twins, Phoenix and Madison, to open this hip one-stop baby and maternity boutique. Baker has designed a range of baby essentials, with a spotlight on organic cotton clothing. You'll also love her maternity line, Madison Rose (named after her daughter, natch).
Double Bay

Carnival & Toy
Bring your little princess or devil to Carnival & Toy's costume shop to keep them from raiding your closet. The shop has been in business over 70 years and has built a collection of more than 7,000 items. Let your nipper choose from 50-plus colours of helium-filled latex balloons for the next birthday party, or surprise the guests with a Barbie piñata.
Glebe

Manon et Gwenaëlle
Sydney's tiniest fashionistas are outfitted at this tiny shop of sophisticated children's clothing. Stylish but playful clothes in earthy tones will make even the cutest newborns to six year olds even more adorable. The international fashions include the Sydney label mamapapa, by Virgine Batterson, who co-owns the store with Lisa Lazaris.
Darlinghurst

Sugar Fix
Grip your child's hand tightly in this shop unless you want to see why "kid in a candy store" became an expression. Sugar Fix is loaded with lollies from all over the world, from the UK to South Africa. It's the place for a global sugar high.
Sydney Central Plaza, Sydney

Terrific Scientific
Kids love to learn while they're having fun and the educational toys from Terrific Scientific sure will fire up children's curiosity. There are experiment kits, construction toys, maps, telescopes, robotics, fossils, and a wide range of other products.
