jon I was so disgusted, I had new clothing brand names with tags, they tried to give me $1.50 for a $32.00 PAIR OF NIKE CHILDRENS NEW SHOES. There are so many new places popping up, don't waste your time there, Bad, Rude customer service. dirty ,over crowded store. jon

Children's Attire We browse Once Upon A Child regularly. We have also brought items to the store for them to purchase. It is very true that they only take decent quality items. It is a place it seems you must frequent often as merchandise is always changing. The prices are very reasonable. I have bought many items in there for both my girls that still have orginal tags on them. Give it a try. I was glad we did. Most likely you will keep returning.

The best store by far! I shop at Once Upon A Child often and all the people who work there are incredibly nice and very helpful. I am a single mother of 3 children and I have shopped here since my first child (she is now 12) and I still shop there for her too! I have gotten all my children's clothes, cribs & other things my children need. I'm sad that I am now done having children (my youngest is 9, and as I said before, oldest is 12) because sooner or later, I won't be able to shop there anymore! I have become real close to... read more

ripoff sure its great to buy stuff there, although they are definately on the expensive side for USED items. But selling to them is rediculous! They pay very poorly. Try craigslist, ebay.... anything before going to them. They gave me 40$ for my $250 breast pump so they can turn around and sell it for $80. I regret almost everything I have sold to them. The only thing I take to them anymore is clothing because it is very difficult to sell online. They are VERY picky though.

Almost perfect This store offers almost perfect clothes for younger chilren and babies. The prices are very inexpensive. The store does seem a bit crowed for the inventory they have, so it is sometimes hard to search though the racks of clothes they have. Since they take gently used clothes, its a great way to dress your child for a fraction of what it would buying them new. Definatly worth a look, when you have the time to.

pleasantly surprised. The purpose of the store is not to supply parents with cash But to supply children with quality merchandise at a reasonable too low cost!!! The store basically started on the concept of sharing what you can with those who have not or little.! Keeping those thoughts in mind I recently came across some clothes that I had put away for my granddaughter when she was 2, she is now 5, most of the clothing wear summer ,out of season ,but there were a few outfit that were winter already... yes they were name bra... read more

meh not impressed I went after reading the gently used part. even the 6/9 month clothing seemed wash worn and not too gently used. The pricing was about the same as most of the childrens clothing stores and almost more than macy's jcpennys clearance racks. Alot of the other items such as cribs strollers and stuff I saw were almost the same prices as I saw new in some places
