Shop the Sale at Madla bydelshus (Autumn 2019)
Stavanger Kids Sale is THE PLACE to find quality, gently used items for babies, kids and mothers-to-be in the greater Stavanger area. We have 250 sellers and more than 25,000 items, so you just can't beat the selection!
Come and stock up on all the things your kids need for a fraction of the price you'd pay in retail stores! The sale is set up like a retail environment so it is easy to find what you are looking for. Clothes are sorted by gender and age, and like items are grouped together (toys, sports gear, books, etc.). Due to security and space concerns, shoppers are not permitted to bring strollers/prams, and personal bags (other than a SMALL purse) into the sale hall. Baby carriers that you wear (not infant car seats) are permitted.
We will be checking shoppers as they enter and leave. So please plan accordingly!

6. Can I bring my kids?
You are welcome to bring your kids to the sale on Saturday and Sunday, but we encourage you not to. The sale can be very busy and crowded (especially Saturday morning). You must keep your kids close to you at all times, and please do not let them play with the toys. Due to space and security concerns, we do not allow customers to bring their own strollers/prams/car seats into the sale hall--they must be "parked" in the room "stova" just off the café. If you have your baby with you, make sure to bring a baby carrier that you WEAR (not carry). Your family can enjoy a shopping break at the café which is open during the hours of the sale.
