Once Upon A Child Southside is a destination for affordable, gently used kids’ clothing, toys, shoes, and baby gear, where families can save and earn cash for outgrown items. Experiences at the store vary. Many customers report a great experience, finding it a reasonably priced place to sell and acquire new items, with a friendly team. Some note a wonderful selling experience, receiving prompt payment and helpful service. However, other reviews indicate inconsistency. Some find the store overpriced, with items sometimes in poor condition. The selection can be hit or miss, with some noting a better girls' section than boys'. The process for selling items typically takes 8 to 24 hours, with compensation often around a dollar per accepted item, which some find deflating, especially when like-new items are not taken. Associate friendliness also varies, with some being wonderful and others not. While many appreciate the local, sustainable concept, some longtime customers feel the store has declined and may shop elsewhere.
Haven't visited but I called about pricing and they were very helpful and courteous

I collect reborn dolls and this is the perfect place to find newborn and preemie clothes for them. You can sure get carried away though!

I had a wonderful experience here. I had a lot of shoes from my two year old son and my six year old daughter They purchased a lot of the shoes that I had. And I received money back for it within 2 hours. I will be bringing more shoes. And clothes to them because they were very friendly.
