I live in the east end of the city. And I traveled 45 minutes with the babe ALL the way to Diaper-Eez - that's right, on the TTC to check out their carriers.
My midwife recommended the store above others because of their customer service and man was she right. The store isn't too big or anything truly special but the customer service and friendliness is where they get you.
I went in looking for one of those crazy overpriced but so-pretty-that-my-husband-would-fight-me-to-the-death-before-he-ever-put-it-on baby carriers that every really fucking cool mom was toting around. I got all the way there and not only did they NOT have the carrier, they also didn't have the demo! Bah. BUT they were more than happy to answer all of my questions and then let me try on everything else imaginable in the store.
At the end of the visit I ended up with my name on a waiting list and a hushed recommendation from the store owner to buy a different brand of carrier that I had never even heard of and that she didn't sell in her store (which I ended up buying for a small fraction of the price of the original one I had in mind). And that's because they don't care necessarily about whether they make a sale, but what is best for the mom.
I'm just crazy enough to travel all the way out there again sometime!
