Because of the cost of some things here, and things not being available (or not quite sure if they are chemical free like in other countries) I have decided to buy things from heaps of different places. We went to babies'r'us in Japan and start the shop on the weekend. I would suggest you get the point card. There is a bag of sample that I received as well as a few discount tickets. Plus, it is Japan so the points always end up buying something. We finally have curtains now too, so the spare room looks more like a room, than a junk room.
I will put in red where I bought/intend to buy it. The major stores are:
Babies r us (in Japan)
amazon.com
amazon.co.jp (also, look for similar items on Rakuten)
TBA- To be advised. Still looking/deciding
