Since we've had out toddler we've got pretty much everything secondhand for him, either given to us on local Facebook groups or bought in NCT/mum2mum markets or charity shops?
I was wondering what the secondhand market is like in Singapore? We are moving soon and will need to replace a lot of things we are leaving behind in the UK. A quick Google shows a few charity shops around Singapore - are they any good? Are there any secondhand markets for children's stuff - how much is normally knocked off prices? I'm also going to look for some expat groups on Facebook - is that a good source for buying? And can anyone recommend any? Should I bother stocking up on clothes in advance of moving there?
And if we want to buy new, where would you recommend? I've seen IKEA and Mothercare online, would love any more recommendations.
Last random question - is it worth bringing/buying wellies for toddlers for Singapore? I'm guessing it's too hot but how else do they cope with downpours, monsoons and jumping up and down in muddy puddles - in sandals?
