Best of Boston

Shopping for a new bundle of joy can be
an overwhelming endeavor, especially
when there’s so much to choose from—
and so little guidance—online. That’s why
we love that this indie kids’ shop
still offers private appointments where
parents-to-be can get recommendations
and gear tutorials (staffers will even help
with the ever-intimidating car-seat
installation!). That kind of personalized
service is rare these days, as is Tadpole’s
deep inventory of baby staples, from the
trendy (Stokke cribs) to the timeless
(Baby Bjorns), plus all the cute little
onesies your little one could ever need.
