San Francisco may be home to some amazing ice cream shops and plenty of cool consignment stores (for little ones, too!). But, as Bay Area moms know, it’s also home to one of the best kids boutiques: Sprout San Francisco. Now Angelenos can finally experience the store themselves, with Sprout’s Santa Monica arrival. The natural and organic boutique stocks a carefully curated selection of healthy and safe kid and baby gear, toys, clothes and more. Read on for some of the store’s top finds, including a must-have sleep sack, baby-safe silicones bottle and more.
Keep babies blanket-free during the winter with the super-snuggly Kangapouch, from $145. "The best sleep sack to make your kid cozy, like a wearable comforter, all organic of course," says Sprout founder Suzanne Price.
Robbie Adrian Organic Blankets and Loveys
"My favorite gift for a special friend: a keepsake blanket that is as soft as the popular polyester ones out there but made of 100 percent organic cotton," Price tells us of Robbie Adrian's Organic Blankets and Loveys, from $28.
Grimm's 12-Piece Rainbow
Looking for a great gift? Price recommends Grimm's 12-Piece Rainbow, $115. "Perfect for kids to use a puzzle type stacking toy, separate to make a tunnel for toy cars, and just looks like a piece of art," she says. You can also find the smaller version of the rainbow, starting at $30.
Comotomo Bottles
"I am not a fan of any type of plastic around babies if it can at all be avoided, but people don't usually like to travel with glass," explains Price. "I love these silicone bottles that are easy to clean and also mimic the shape of a breast," she says of Comotomo's bottles, from $12.99.
