What a Great Place!

  5 of 5

II went to Once Upon A Child after hearing about it from the Discount Diva. This store has clothes, books, strollers, toys, games, swings, carriers, and almost anything else kid related you can think of. The condition of the items is like new. They say its gently used but should change that to barely used!. I can not say enough good things about this place.

Great Store

  5 of 5

This store is wonderful, The prices are great. I got an Easter outfit for my daughter for 7.50 with the tags on it! I recommend it to all my friends with kids. The customer service is great. I brought in a stroller to sell ( that I had gotten at a consigment shop) only to be told by the Once Upon A Child staff that it was recalled! I couldn't believe the other place sold it to me. They check everything for safety recall and won't buy or sell items with a safety issue. That's caring about the customer! Clearly you can't please everyone though. Batteries really?

Rude and arrogant!

  1 of 5

This place has changed! The owner is arrogant, the staff is rude and ridiculing. They will break your clothing sets apart and take only pants or only the shirt. They will take your batteries from items they have no intention of buying. They sold me a high chair with a tray that didn't match. The owner did offer me store credit, but then laughed twice in our conversation (when I mentioned the batteries). There are many moms who have had negative experiences here. The staff are all teenagers, who giggle and laugh at items you bring. They are extremely picky (which they have to be, I imagine their storage space is limited), but they give you an attitude when they refuse things. giving you a list of nonsense excuses instead of just passing!

Great Place for Gently Used Items

I like this store for gently used toys for my kids, especially when they were babies. Great discounts on things that are practically new, and lots of items to choose from.

Great prices good quality!

They really inspect everything and you know you're going to get a quality item. I really like how they bag a lot of their smaller toy items so that it looks like it's new! Great prices!

Great finds!

  4 of 5

I love their quality of items. They are very picky for buying which isn't so good if you are trying to make money selling there but it shows in the selection of baby and kids items in the store. I have found many wonderful things I would have never been able to afford new!
