We visited the second largest IKEA in the world located just outside of Stockholm.
If you're a parent, you know, shopping with kids can be exhausting. It takes longer, since you are always putting things they've grabbed back or they are having tantrums over wanting to buy something.
A visit to IKEA however, the shopping experience is made a little easier. You could go for a reasonably priced lunch at the IKEA cafeteria with the kids, they could find something to play with in the kids area or even better head over to IKEA's kids-only area, Småland!
Parents can get some shopping done, browse for design ideas, pickup their IKEA order or even sit and have a dessert and coffee. It's really a brilliant idea!
Remember to pack some socks to wear in the Kids area, if it's a warm day and the kids are wearing sandals. The same parent who checks in the kids, must pick them up. In Sweden, the kids area is only for kids 3-7yrs old.
One of us picked up the kids while the other parent stood in line to pay for everything we had bought that day. Then we switched and got the kids some Vegan softserve ice cream :)
Enjoy your next trip to IKEA (after you drop the kids off at Småland)!
Don't forget your snacks!
