If you mean toys, probably my best purchase was this Chicco activity centre thing that`s in 3 stages - overhead, sitting and standing. I got it when my son was 3 months old and at 10 months old he`s still using it. I got that here though. I think any toys you could fit in with your luggage will be appreciated when your baby is older here. But there is no shortage of toys here.
However, I would have bought a high chair at home if I had realised how expensive they were here.

Unfortunately MTR turnstiles are about 18.5 inches wide, so24 inches would be too wide. Seems they are trying to make some more, wider ones but availability is spotty.
Honestly, when we had one child we used a Maya wrap sling as much as possible. Now with two we use the stroller a little more often. Stroller also comes in handy for hauling bags around HK.
And I would agree with buying the stuff before you get here due to price and safety. No way to tell what might be wrong with a used stroller. For instance, our seat is pretty much shot but I'm not sure you could tell that just by looking or test driving.
