ZukaBaby

Great place for mom’s and babies and an awesome Mother’s Day activity. Mom is getting a massage courtesy of massage envy write now!

You can tell that the inventory decisions are made very thoughtfully here. While the selection isn’t vast, the fact is that nothing they stock appears to be superfluous.
The selection is expensive but the quality is top-​notch. You’ll only have to buy it once if you buy it here… Unless you lose it. LOL!
My only criticism is that they carry such a limited variety of Kickee Pants. I understand the need to project an image by stocking to an aesthetic but KP has a devoted following that can only be satisfied by shopping online. I believe of all the retailers I’ve frequented, this store could benefit from carrying the entire KP selection.
NOLA needs a Kickee Pants flagship. Zuka Baby would be my choice! Or maybe I should open a store…

The staff is so friendly and helpful. You know how it goes, you go for a natural toy your baby can chew while teething, you come out buying everything in the store. I can’t even be mad at my purchases because I love everything I bought there.

I bought a Baby K’tan baby carrier here and have been using it since my baby was 2 months old. My 9 month old baby still loves it. It fits snug and comfortably. I thought that it was expensive but after using it it has paid for itself 1,000 times over. The woman working in the store took a lot of time with me to demonstrate how each of the carriers were used and I got to actually put my baby in each sample carrier to see how both of us liked it.
The customer service was extraordinary and I got to buy a useful baby product that didn’t just sit in the closet. They have a lot of items for every baby need. Check it out.

I love Zukababy!!! They have tons of supplies/​resources for breast feeding. I am renting a Medela pump there, and its nice to have all the backup supplies and parts in one place. They also have an extensive selection of baby wearing stuff. And cute blankets and clothes… Just lots of cute natural parenting stuff.
The staff is really really nice. They also have a rewards card which is awesome, something I’ve never really seen at a local retailer like that.

Great resource for natural products and services for both mother and baby! Items like cloth diapers, breastfeeding accessories, baby clothes, bedding, swaddling blankets, toys, etc. If you’re in search of organic/​natural/​eco-​friendly items or cloth diapers, this is the place to go!
All the women employed there seem to have kids. They’re very knowledgeable and are able to answer tons of questions. I watched one soon-​to-​be mom corner a ZukaBaby employee in a corner, firing off mommy questions at rapid-​fire pace. The sales lady took it all in stride and was able to answer most of her questions. I was also very appreciative of the way she politely detached from her so that she could take care of other customers ready to pay and get out of there (AKA, ME).
My favorite purchases (as a non-​parent):
Books like «Baby’s First Mardi Gras» or «My First Trip to the Audubon Zoo»!
Music like Rockabye Baby! (These are lullaby renditions of popular artists of various genres.)
They offer various classes for parents, so keep checking their website. They also usually advertise these with a chalkboard outside of the establishment.
Parents visiting the area are able to rent baby carriers. Genius idea!

As we boarded the shuttle bus from Long Term Parking at San Francisco International Airport, my 5-​year old daughter was very helpful. I could see the pride on her face as she loaded her own backpack and rolling suitcase onto the bus. I was so grateful for her independence, as I was in the process of wrangling an oversized suitcase, backpack, stroller, car seat, butterfly umbrella, and her 10-​month old, 27 lb brother on board. As the bus began its journey toward the terminal, I felt accomplished and pleased that I had completed this leg of the journey and we were on our way.
Then suddenly, panic hit me. I searched around the bus nervously for a moment, but knew this was in vain. In the back seat of my car, inside the 9-​story parking structure which I watched grow smaller in the distance through the bus window, was my much-​loved, trusty, never-​want-​to-​be-​without, ERGO carrier.
As any mom who practices even the slightest resemblance of attachment parenting will attest, being without your hands-​free baby carrying option when you’re out and about can be awful. At that panicky moment of realizing I was Ergo-​less, I was on my way to New Orleans to visit my Mom with both of my kids, sans husband, for 6 days during the peak of Mardi Gras.
While still on the shuttle, I googled «Ergo carriers New Orleans» and ZukaBaby popped up. I called them, completely prepared to buy a new Ergo. But when I found out that they rented them out, I actually let out an audible squeal of delight.
The next day, before the first Saturday parade, I stopped in and picked up my rented Ergo, which actually included the teething pads for free. I was so delighted and relieved. Thank you ZukaBaby for making my trip so much more manageable. You ladies rock!

This is every mother’s dream, especially if you are a mother who is looking to go the «natural» parenting route. No, I’m not a mother, but I stopped in here with a friend who was looking to pick up some things for her future niece or nephew.
Not only will you find baby toys and furniture here, but you will find a vast array of natural products such as baby washes and even cloth diapers. And if you have no idea where to begin with cloth diapers, the staff is expert at it and will tell you everything you need to know from what kind of diapers you need to how many times to change them and how to wash them.
Mom isn’t left out, Zuka offers a wide variety of nursing bras, maternity fashion, skin products, breast pumps and nursing pillows. Basically, everything you need to care for your little one before and after he/​she has arrived.

Wow — I am speechless — the store I never knew I always needed — a mix of all my favorite online stores, fantastic service — best products ever! I could move in!

I’m currently pregnant with my first child (a boy) and almost all of our family lives out of state. I dreaded having to just register at some large chain store just for the convenience of accessibilty for our distantly located relatives and friends. I always feel better about shopping from a local business (not only are you helping to sustain your community, but the customer service is ALWAYS better!) and so I was thrilled to learn I could register at ZukaBaby online for products I want and my family can purchase them over the phone or through the site.
For such a small store, the selection is quite good. All of the employees are mothers themselves and everything they stock seems like well thought out items that you SHOULD be able to find everywhere, but rarely can. I was excited to see such a great selection of cloth diapers (from traditional to hybrids), eco friendly bottles, books on everything from pregnancy to co-​sleeping to parenting, specialty items you can’t find in chain stores like the Beaba BabyCook, cute teething jewelry I actually want to wear, many different types of babywearing accessories, locally made blankets/​onesies/​skincare, and even popular items like the Belly Bandit. It’s the only place I know that sells baby books with categories essential to NOLA kids like «Baby’s First Mardi Gras» or «My First Trip to the Audubon Zoo»!
The staff is so kind and helpful and full of suggestions and useful tips (unlike the massive amounts of unwanted «advice» everyone and their sister has been doling out to you since your bump first started showing). I’m also pleased to know I can take classes there on everything from cloth diapering to Infant CPR without having to lug my other half all the way out to the big unnamed maternity store in Metairie!

Neatest baby store I’ve found in NOLA. The staff is very helpful in matching you up with great gear, linens and clothing. One of their specialties is cloth diapers of which they sell every variety… even used. Once or twice per month, they give a cloth diapering class which I found helpful because I was so clueless and found that the diapers come in all sorts of shapes and types. The class is especially useful if you are going to wash them on your own instead of using a diaper service. The class costs $ 20 but they give you a $ 20 coupon towards a $ 100 purchase. I think the class should be free, but registering for a gift certificate like I did is helpful. I also like the fact that they have a program to meet with local day care facilities and educate the staff on cloth diapering. Many day cares won’t accept cloth diapered babies and this program is a way to create change.

ZukaBaby is the perfect store if you are looking for specialty items like cloth diapers; breastfeeding accessories; organic/​natural/​eco-​friendly baby clothes, bedding, swaddling blankets, toys, etc. Most items in the store are on the pricey side, but I guess it’s ‘you get what you pay for’. I recently visited the store because I purchased a LivingSocial deal and was shopping for a baby shower gift. My impression is that this isn’t really the type of store that you just go into and browse in search of a gift. The selection isn’t too expansive and your dollar won’t get you too far. But as I’ve already said, if you’re in search of specialty items, particularly those of the organic/​natural/​eco-​friendly variety or cloth diapers, ZukaBaby is a must visit. The salesperson was very friendly and very helpful. And of course it’s always nice to support locally-​owned, small businesses!

I’ve been in here various times for myself or to get gifts, each time was a pleasure. All the women up in their have kids, so when your child decides to flip out they at least appear understanding. Plus they have a plethora of knowledge on cloth/​alternative diapering, breastfeeding, teething products (the amber teething necklaces are magic! Trust me.), baby carriers, wooden/​Eco toys, and for the grand finale…(drum roll)…pretty, yes I said Pretty Nursing Bras. Applause! I don’t know what size they go up to, but I’ve seen some large bras and it made me hopeful.
No, they are not the cheapest store to get the goods from and sure, you can order it cheaper from Amazon. You can order anything cheaper from Amazon. But why not support a local business and fellow moms and women making a living. So if you can afford to go there, do it. Otherwise, pop in every now and them and buy a wooden toy or some nipple cream that rocks this world for under $ 15. Do it.

my favourite baby store, great for baby shower gifts and everyday items that you and your little one need. Lots of great homopathic options as well as a one stop shop for a more natural life for your baby.
Friendly and helpfull staff.

Such a great resource for natural products and services for you and your baby. I couldn’t be happier with the customer service: informative, genuine, and helpful. Excellent shop!
