4th Avenue’s baby strip has just gotten a little hipper with the re-imagining of Hip Baby.

With eco and sustainable options for the zero to six set you’ll find lots of our favourite brands including Green to Grow BPA-free baby bottles, lovely eco-friendly clothes from Fig – soon to be rebranded as Hip Baby, Minymo and Nanoou, great wooden toys from Haba, Sweetbeets’ letterpress cards and gear from BabyBjörn and 3sprouts. And the pièce de résistance? It’s still one of the few places in town you can stock up on cloth diapers.
