For the past couple of weeks my husband and I have been looking for a new refrigerator, with most of our research done online.  We have ventured out to a few stores which was a bit of a nightmare with two small children in tow.  From a shopping perspective, we hit the jackpot at Steinhafels.   This two-level megastore had all sorts of things to make the outing with two boys under 3 a lot easier.  First are the escalators up to the 2nd floor, followed by the car-like carts at the landing.  They each climbed into one and off we went in search of the free cookies.  Right next to the cafe is the play area, which overlooks the warehouse below.  How cool for them — seeing forklifts zoom around!  That was a bigger hit (almost) than the cookies.

So hats off to Steinhafels.  Even though we didn’t purchase anything there (turns out they don’t sell appliances), they made our time there much easier than the other stores we visited.
