Hi everyone,
I recommend getting baby stuff like cot, stroller and car seat from Baby Avenue, the sister store of Baby's Hyperstore. I prefer it because the wares there are better organized and displayed, less crowded and therefore the staff have more time to attend to us. When we went to Baby Avenue on a Saturday afternoon, there were very few customers and a staff member was with us all the time, answering our questions and demonstrating how to use the products.
In the end, we bought a cot, a car seat, as well as a Medela package there. The package includes a Mini Electric breastpump, a box of disposable breast pads (30 pieces), and a box of 150ml breastmilk storage bottles (3 pieces). The usual price is $238 for these 3 items, but Baby Avenue is selling them as a set for $168, and you don't have to be a member to buy at the discounted price. This is the cheapest deal for Medela Mini Electric Breastpump I'd seen so far after visitng various baby stores such as Baby's Hyperstore, Baby Kingdom, Kiddy Palace, Cheong Choon, Mums & Babes, and baby fair/sale at Taka, Metro, John Little, Isetan and Robinsons, so naturally I grabbed one straight away.
I am generally satisfied with the service and quality of goods at Baby Avenue, the staff there are much more attentive and informative than those of Baby's Hyperstore and Baby Kingdom. Price wise, I paid $30 to become their member so as to enjoy members' discount and free delivery, hence I spent $288 on an Inglesina car seat (usual price $338) and $298 on the Vanille cot with free mattress and 9-piece bedding set (usual price $358). I saw the same cot with mattress and bedding set selling at $369 in Tangs and John Little, so I guess the $30 I paid for membership was quite worthwhile then.
