They say when one window closes, another one opens. And another. And another. And another.

Especially if you’re clicking around new online marketplace Babyccino Kids.

Launched by a team of moms blogging from Amsterdam, Paris, and London since 2007, it’s a collection of the best children’s webshops uncovered along the way. A mix of brick-and-mortar spots (only a local would know) and just-online stores, their finds skew European (no worries, most ship internationally).

We asked founders Courtney Adamo and Esther van de Paal for recommendations to get us started window-shopping half a world away. Here are their picks.
