Soon-to-be parents with a checklist of essentials should head to Tadpole, a shop stocked with everything from car seats to swaddles to cuddly Wubbanub pacifiers. (There’s a basement showroom of baby furniture, too.) But don’t forget the fun stuff—Tadpole’s toy selection has classics such as Brio trains, Fisher Price pianos and model cars, plus stuffed animals and a respectable collection of Frozen merch.
