All depends on who is paying your shipping... if it is a company move then I agree with everyone above. Bring much as you can of what you think you will need.

They do have everything you need here, but it comes at a cost and there is not much choice. I always take an extra case when we go home to the UK or visit the states. You will have a wider selections of strollers, cribs, activity toys, clothing you name it.

You may kick yourself if you see something you really like and think you can find it here... odds on you won't find the exact same at a comparable price.

First babies are a special time and yes you will not use half of what you buy but that never stops anyone. A big move, new baby and strange country will be enough to deal with, bring as many home comforts as possible to get you through the first few months

Be aware though that beds and bedding are different sizes here. The standard "cot" (not moses basket or newborn crib) size is 140cm x 70cm. Just an FYI in case you bring a cot but decide to get mattress here etc...

Good luck with both the move and baby
