babycity, one of New Zealand’s most trusted baby and nursery retailers, is opening a brand-new Christchurch store right here at The Colombo.
Proudly New Zealand owned, babycity has supported parents for over 30 years, offering trusted advice, quality products and peace of mind at every stage of the parenting journey. The new store in The Colombo will provide local families with hands-on access to essential baby and nursery products from buggies, car seats, cots and highchairs, to feeding, clothing and educational toys – all backed by expert guidance from babycity’s friendly in-store team.
“At babycity, we’re all about whānau,” says Campbell Gower, CEO. “Becoming a parent comes with big decisions, and we’re here to provide warmth and understanding to new parents who tend to come in pretty wide-eyed when it comes to their new and exciting journey ahead. Opening stores in both Wellington and Christchurch, alongside our already established stores in Tauranga, Hamilton, Invercargill and E-comm, within such a short timeframe reflects our commitment to growing sustainably in New
Zealand, supporting Kiwi parents, and investing in communities where families need us most.”
The Colombo babycity store will showcase a powerful selection of favourite New Zealand’s best brands including phil&teds, Mountain Buggy, Mokopuna merino and Cadenshae, alongside a curated mix of key global brand partners chosen for their focus on safety, quality, innovation, relevancy and practical design.
At the heart of the offer is ORIGIN, the babycity® exclusive home brand – created for modern living. ORIGIN delivers simple, reliable essentials that are easy to use, thoughtfully designed and genuinely affordable, giving families confidence they’re getting what they need without unnecessary extras or cost.
“We’ve had overwhelming feedback from the South Island community on when babycity® is coming back, especially to get hands-on with popular brands such as Mountain Buggy®. And though the economy and retail world is not at its peak, babies are still being born; parents are still needing advice, and ages and
stages of the young still need to be met.
“Quality, value and trust have always been central to babycity,” adds Gower. “We want to grow babycity in a way that stays true to who we are – proudly New Zealand, family-focused, and genuinely helpful; while remaining accessible and relevant in today’s economy. This is what I want to continue to deliver for our families in Aotearoa – they deserve the best.”
