Children

Expat moms here can probably give you a more accurate answer.  I haven't done this but from the price of all the baby items I find here, my gut feel is that it is more expensive here in Brazil. I was price shocked (as in other items) in how much baby clothes cost.  Car seat and stroller have outrageous price (top quality brand/model).

I'd probably agree with this, although when you factor in medical costs, it might change things up, depending on insurance and if you are able to get the free medical care in SP or not. but, simply based on cost of baby care items, yes, cheaper in the US and better quality for the most part.

Now, baby friendly lifestyle...I'd vote SP on that one.

(Moderated: Offensive statement).and i think mcfly was right...the products are outrageously priced.....but of course the health care relative to ny is less..but then again u get what u pay for unfortunately in that context....a frikkin playstaytion 3 is three times the cost of one in the US... htey were charging me more than the cost of a brand new ps3 just to ship my own ps3 from there to here......wtf?!
this whole life thing is not what i saw in the brochures...hehe
