suggest some good places where we could shop for baby stuff in yongin or seoul.
I am looking for cheap bedding,blanket,bed sheet,clothes,,,,everything.
What do u thnk about emart?
I think stuff there is cheap and best.
I can buy clothes from there but not sure of bedding and other stuff.
Any one bought bedding and sheet from there?
U can also suggest some good sites for online shopping?

With baby stuff, you get what you pay for. My wife and I bought almost exclusively from the big brands Paco Rabanne, uh, don't remember the other brand names.
We did buy one cheaper blanket and it was CHEAP. Pay for good stuff, it'll last longer and it's better. A baby is not exactly the place to skimp on things. Good stuff is worth it, money well spent. |

| I don't think you can legally sell a baby in Korea. Check the black market. |

The baby sections of department stores, including home-plus and e-mart, are expensive.
The kids malls at Namdaemun (north east side of the market) have good quality and OK prices. One piece sleepers (with feet to stay warm) for 3-10k, t-shirts for 2-3k, receiving blankets for 5k, etc.
As your little one gets older (remember they outgrow the clothes before they wear them out) you can get nice outfits for 5-20k from the kids mall.
Once they hit toddler size (about 2 years) the underground markets at Jongno and Namdaemun, among many, have good deals on kids clothes.

skimping is one thing..being frugal is another (it's smart!!)
I have found GREAT second hand strollers and clothes online.
As one person posted, the babies outgrow clothes before they wear out. |

Clothes are definitely an area to save money since they do tend to grow VERY fast. Most of the clothes I have for my girl were sent to me by my mother who got them for about a dollar each. The rest came from my sister who has a 19-month old.
I meant skimping on things like blankets, and other long-term items is a bad idea. Yes, used is ok, but still make sure they're GOOD QUALITY used things. |

There is a chain of stores, at least I'm pretty sure it's a chain, called HappyLand. They've got all the major brands, plus their own brand. I don't know where in Seoul, but look on the net. The one here in Jeju is pretty good-sized, and the gals running the store are really helpful. |
