The best deals for baby stuff in Jakarta

You know me, always looking for the best deals in town as if my life depended on it. Hey, 50 cents goes a long way...heck that could even get me a meal in Jakarta (indomie!).

This is based on my personal experience on where to get the cheapest things for my baby. So this isn't Mothercare or The Childrens' Store types of shops that you can find in most malls.

For daily essential products (diapers, wipes, etc.)
1. Tororo online shop. So far they've been the cheapest compared to other online shops and hypermarkets (unless the hypermarkets are having some super special discounts). They're fast too, they have a flat rate of Rp. 5,000 for deliveries in Jakarta, no matter how much you order. They ship everything the next day, and sometimes on the same day if you order in the morning. So why face Jakarta traffic when you can get things delivered to your doorstep right? I buy everything in bulk here for diapers, wipes, breastmilk storage bags, detergent, etc. so I save on delivery cost.

2. Bilna online shop. This is more expensive than Tororo most of the time, but sometimes they have extra discounts, so you just have to watch for it. And they carry a wider range than Tororo. The delivery time isn't as consistent as Tororo, and they still have bugs on their website everytime I tried to order something. But good option.

3. Kindercube online shop. I haven't tried this one yet, but they have a good range of products, for example, you can find the French Cham Pie Gnon teethers here for cheap.

For baby gears (strollers, car seats, highchairs, etc.)
ITC Kuningan is the place to go, mainly these stores:

1. Ocha Baby Shop
ITC Kuningan 1st floor Blok B4/5-6 
(021) 579 346 04 
Open daily: 12.00 - 20.00 

2. Fany Baby Shop
ITC Kuningan 4th floor Blok B2 No 1-2
(021) 96969 264


3. Jungle Baby Shop
ITC Kuningan 4th floor Blok B 10/3
(021) 5793 5341

You wouldn't really want to come here with your baby though, the toilets are.....less than adequate let's just say. These are not shops to browse around in, the place isn't the most comfortable, so I'd suggest you call them up first and ask for the price of whatever it is you want to buy (specific), and if the price suits you, you can just do a quick pick up over there so it saves you the hassle of bargaining, or you can just send someone over to pick up and pay for it.

VoilĂ  voilĂ  that's my list.
