Polka Dot Kids

This bustling shop stocks a mixture of whimsical items and sweet clothing (think tiny knit caps, posters and wall hangings). Simple toys—a wooden duck with red wheels that can be pulled by a string—evoke the olden days. Egg Baby, a line of stylish soft stuff, is equally adorable: blankets and layette gowns are adorned with tiny egg or heart prints, as are the jersey separates. Pastel clothing from Lino (a local line) will make parents yearn for their own childhoods. Play bibs are wipeable and supersized—great for keeping baby’s smart new clothes clean.
