Wild Was Mama

Organic, soft cotton clothes. Sweet hats and adorable toys and stuffed animals. And a staff with solid, helpful knowledge about baby wearing – how can you go wrong? They have an amazing selection of baby wearing devices and folks on staff who patiently help you try them on and decide which is best for you. You won’t find this kind of service in any big box store. I fell madly in love. And I am also impressed with every detail — a room for the many classes they hold on site, little potties for the little ones who need the in the bathroom and a comfy changing table so your baby is lying on a board. These folks have customer service and quality product choices down to a science.

Once again, I’m amazed by how awesome my experience at WWM was. I went on Saturday for their baby wearing lab, and it was super useful. I’m now much better with my ring sling and my Boba. I’ve just leaned to use my pump, but my baby wasn’t into the bottle. I asked for help at WWM, and they explained that the best bottle is the one that has a nipple that’s most like mine. I bought a como tomo, and the baby took it on the first try! While I was there, all the sales people seemed truly happy to be helping their customers. It’s such a gem. I will always go to Wild Was Mama before I head for the Internet because I love it there so very much!

Obsessed with the knowledgeable staff and natural product selection! All the people that work here go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Truly amazing. Stop in if you’re close by.

Great selection of quality baby/​toddler/​maternity goods!
If you’re looking for the coolest and newest version of something meant for baby/​toddler/​mom-​to-​be/​mom, this place is a great place to check out!
Tips:
Lots of hip mom and dads and their friends frequent this place.
Comfy area to breastfeed/​bottle feed kids
Lots of cloth diaper accessories
Lots of cool hats (SPF 50+)

Friendly, inviting and courteous. Even if you just need to get your child inside for a second, you can stop in and warm up on the couches. The staff is very helpful and they’ve curated a beautiful array of products for kids. Great for moms, or gifts to moms (and dads).

After my last encounter I have been reluctant to return to this shop however the owner has made it her personal agenda to make me feel at home. The times she was there upon my last visits she was very helpful and engaging and I am now more optimistic about my return trip.

i came here last saturday to take a CPR/​AED certification course and also bought some great items at this store. they have great maternity wear — very trendy. toys, lactation items, coats that fit your baby if you’re wearing them, fenugreek supplements and tea, lactation cookies, baby clothes, cloth diapers, organic baby formula and organic cotton clothing… they also have a calendar with a lot of child and other educational courses…

Popped in yesterday after finding them online through a local babywearing group’s site. Glad I made the trek! They have an extensive selection of carriers… and most excitedly, this is the first place I have ever gone that has Tulas in stock that you can try on! Got to try on both a standard and toddler Tula and walked out of the store same day with a carrier. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. They have a wall full of woven wraps. Would love to return to try on a few of these as well.

Why is there not a store like this in Park Slope? Since I had to take my birthing class there by a fluke, I’ve been enamored with the store and the help. I have been back numerous times and have purchased 4 wraps there since my son was born two years ago. I think my son’s birth coincided with an increase in baby wearing, as the time the staff spends to show you how to wrap/​wear has decreased significantly over the past two years, but I get it — they want us to go to a class. That said, I wish they had classes not in Greenpoint and not during the day as I work outside of the home, but that said, I still give them 5 stars. They’re also the only reliable store I’ve found in Brooklyn for cloth diapering supplies — we use diaperkind, but if we’re out of something and need it that day, this is the only place I know of to get it. Which brings me back to my point … why isn’t there one closer to us in the slope? This store offers things none of the other local pharmacies or kids’ stores offer!

This place is great. It is pretty pricey, but the people who work there are great and I think that makes any retail experience positive. We bought a pump there that when we took it home it didn’t work. I brought it back the next day and instead of giving me a hard time about it they not only replaced it quickly, but replaced it with a better one for my troubles. Any place that cares about customer service like that is a winner in my book.

I’m so impressed by the amazing customer service. Especially the attention I got from Tracy Michele Bullock, Manager. I was looking for the Light Rainbow Diamond Girasol for a friend’s baby shower and Tracy did anything/​everything to help me find it. She was so kind and attentive… I will certainly return in the future.

Caribou gave us about the best customer service experience ever today!
We needed a replacement part for my wife’s breast pump, and we needed it immediately — I ended up on a mission to find it for her today. Caribou not only had it in stock, when I let them know how difficult it would be for me to get there in time from Park Slope, they offered to put it in a car-​service and send it over. I got a call back a few minutes later from the manager that one of her staff members had offered to bring it to me when she finished her shift!!! (Thanks Holly!) She didn’t even live in our neighborhood. I know that can’t be their everyday policy but it does speak to the dedication of the staff to what they do. We really appreciate having this store in Brooklyn.

I don’t usually review online but I asked where I can review this place because I got an exceptional service here. One that I didn’t see in a very long time. I needed to chance my sakura bloom sling because it had a defect and the staff was very helpful following up the phone conversation with an email then another call. They stayed in touch until the problem was solved and were very helpful and kind in all that they did. I will never meet them but i wish I can go and visit the store myself one day. Shop here you won’t be disappointed.

I typically don’t write reviews however I am impressed with Caribou Baby. Adriane was very sweet and helpful when we were looking for a carrier for my tall and broad shouldered husband and a new wrap for myself. My husband left happily with a comfortable carrier and eagerly used it with our daughter.
They have an impressive amount of carriers and I felt like I was in a toy store. They also have a good assortment for cloth diapering, clothing, toys and baby care… Makes me wish we lived in Brooklyn instead of Queens.

This store gets five stars not because I’ve bought a ton of stuff here or because it’s a one stop shop for baby. I shop here when I know they have what I want and I know they will be friendly and helpful.
As a nanny, it’s great that they were willing to show me wraps over and over again as my nanny baby got bigger.
And they continually offer great service even though I’m in there all the time without the explicit desire to buy something.
Also took my CPR and first aid here. And I’ve heard their music classes are awesome.
I appreciate the community they offer more than any fantastic item they may sell.

Great baby store in the neighborhood.
The storeowner and clerks are always very friendly and helpful. They’re ready to show you how use their wearable stuff (their specialty).
Additionally, they also offer all kinds of interesting classes at their store.
My wife and I went for the «Expecting parents with pets» presentation and it was very help to prepare us for dealing with having a baby and our dog.

This place is great for gifts, they have many high quality items, but isn’t that great for basic needs. because it’s a little pricey
Since I live in Greenpoint and like to shop local, I went here to try and get some basics for my little guy. After I explained that I needed the equivalent of a pack of tee shirts for a newborn, they showed me a pair of $ 17 socks, and a $ 30 kimono which were the only things small enough. I bought them because I was desperate.
This wasn’t my first experience here. When my wife was pregnant we took a birthing class, which was okay. I think I felt similarly about the class as the rest of the store, It was a bit pricey and accompanied with a big smile but I got way more out of reading the Birthing Partner book.
The staff is friendly, but in the way that all sales people are at high end boutiques.
I think that I am just too pragmatic for this place to be my regular go to for baby goods, but I’m glad it’s in the neighborhood.

This place has a great selection of all things baby but just on the pricey side.
Friendly staff.

I was on a hunt for a Fjallraven backpack, and its website led me to Caribou Baby as one of the NYC locations where I could purchase its products. Although they were very limited in colors, I was very happy to purchase a backpack at sale price…$ 15 cheaper than I would’ve gotten it on the Fjallraven website.
Service was odd because one of the ladies working in the back was super friendly and helpful, but the cashier girl did not even acknowledge me when I walked in.
I think the store could use a little makeover. It feels dingy, and it’s super cluttered. I didn’t even want to search for the backpack. I think if they could figure out a way to make the store more organized and clean looking/​feeling, it would have more of a welcoming atmosphere.

This space is an oasis. beautifully designed, serene, spacious, child friendly, mom friendly, it smells good.
very comfy, easy to sit down in, take your time in.
the people are nice and the products are irresistable, high quality, non toxic, beautifully curated, ethically sourced, useful and not overpriced.
