We have been living in Espoo for almost three months. \u00a0Now I know a little bit more about those shopping centers, especially how to take the baby to shopping!<\/p>\n

First of all, traveling with a baby in pram\/stroller is free on buses (and other HSL public transportation). \u00a0So, just board the bus through the middle door. \u00a0Those large shopping centers are well served by public transportation \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Secondly, look for the door open button to make life easier:<\/p>\n

Now while you are inside of the shopping center, look for the nursing room when it’s necessary. \u00a0Be confident that there is a nursing room! \u00a0Just ask for directions. \u00a0Here I will show you the nursing rooms in these shopping centers: ISO Omena, Sello, AINOA\/Stockmann, IKEA Espoo, and Kamppi (Helsinki).<\/p>\n

ISO Omena probably has the best nursing room. \u00a0It is located on the first floor, close to the children’s clothing shops, right beside the children’s playground. \u00a0Push the button to open the door, and you will see a very big room. \u00a0There are stroller parking, lockers, table and chairs (for bigger kids), a big sofa (for breastfeeding), and kids’ restrooms. \u00a0The nursing room is always occupied, almost constantly being used. \u00a0In fact, the playground outside is also one of the best, and is very popular!<\/p>\n
