Mothercare
The nearest Mothercare is in Zaragoza but you can order online for a huge range of babies products
www.mothercare.esComments:
This has loads of products you can´t find in Barcelona. Delivery normally within two weeks.
"I discovered Mothercare Iberica when we were searching for basic baby furniture and were horrified by the prices of any aesthetically decent baby furniture in Barcelona. Unfortunately, they do not have a branch in Catalonia, but they do have a catalogue (which is more updated than their web site) and items can be ordered by telephone. Once the bank transfer is made, they deliver the items to your door (you can also pay by "contra reembolso"). We bought the moses basket, a really great travel cot, a cot-bed and mattress as well as a few other bits and pieces. The mattress is a much better one than we could find in any of the baby shops in Barcelona (Rillo, Rabassa, Nonetes etc.).. It's a sprung mattress with a zip on/off washable "coolmax" layer, and the cot-bed was really well priced for its good quality and aesthetic. However baby clothes at Mothercare Iberica are as ridiculously expensive as in any other shop in Barcelona. For example. A set of three plain white baby-grows that costs 8 pounds in the UK is sold for 28.90€ in Spain" (CL)

"An item I found invaluable, is a cloth tie on chair! It is a kind of pouch that sits on most chairs and you basically tie your child on to the chair, (not really as crude as that!) I found it invaluable, particularly in the restaurants if they didn't have a high chair or if they did they would seldom have restraint straps, so this worked v well... It folds down to nothing! So you can easily slip into your bag!" (HS)Recommended by Helen Scott
