We have air freighted all our stuff we wanted out and like an idiot I assumed I would be able to get on of those contraptions here at a reasonable price only to discover they are 800 aed/80 bd
Am sure I only paid 35 bucks for one in the UK

So if anyone has one they want to get rid of in Bh then drop me a line

And yes I have had too many Stellas again so God only knows how bad my grammar is this evening
try Babyshop

They have walkers in Centerpoint in City Centre. Centerpoint has several "departments" including the one called Mothercare (not the British Mothercare) which in the UAE is called Babyshop. Anyway, they have lots of useful good value baby things, including Milton tablets (saw them today) and walkers starting from 10BD, and I wouldn't pay more than that for one.

Hi Twix

I am starting to think that blokes arent any good at this shopping malarkey (unless its for TVs)
Bit confused though as the Mothercare store in Seef mall sells UK Mothercare stuff and thats where the 80 bd version was.

Is the centrepoint bit next to the home store on the next to top floor ?I managed to find home store and Sharrif Dg flogging the 55 inch Tv's

Thanks
S

Yes, Centrepoint is next to Home Centre on the first floor. At the entrance you will see shoes and clothes but you have to go further for the Mothercare section, sort of diagonally left. British Mothercare is a rip off here, so Centrepoint is better value for things like potties, baths, travel cots, etc.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
