I really like this store for finding unique and fun gifts for kids. I bought a set of plushies when our second daughter was born so that my toddler could do a gift exchange when her little sister came home from the hospital. I found the perfect set with Kido, and the plushie even had little glasses that matched my daughter's, which was a cool coincidence! I also had to call the store to confirm something about the order, and the person who answered was really friendly and helpful. Great place to shop!

Great place for birthday gifts for neverending kid birthday parties! The coolest parents and kids gift Kido. Pro tip: I like to print out Kido gift certificates if I can't make it in, and design a little card on Canva to print out. Easy peasy!

I have never been here in person but I’ve bought online and they are wonderful. I dropped the ball on an order and they continued to reach out to me until I got back to them. ? My bad!! They have such cute stuff that’s awesome quality. Would definitely recommend.

Love shopping at Kiddo’s for all of my nephews. The space is large, visually pleasing & just puts you in the mood to shop. I have yet to leave empty handed. It’s so easy to find books that look like them, with diverse characters & story lines. The clothing options are fun & unique, especially the Chicago options. They are my go-to for gifts & will be for the foreseeable future.

Keewa & her amazing staff make me feel a huge sense of community with their amazing shop. I have felt so lucky to have Kido as my go to safe space to bring my little ones & nuture their growing brains with amazingly diverse books and fantastic toys. Their activism is just a beautiful, rainbow colored cherry on top of the sundae. Thank you Kido, we love you!

Kido is always my first stop for gifts as they have a selection I can’t find anywhere else. Definitely worth taking the time to explore the shop but if you’re searching for a book on a specific topic, the staff is very knowledgeable and will give you suggestions. I now have go-to books for any little ones -if they’re not sold out first =‘( ! Lots of unique accessories - sometimes I even find fun stuff for myself. They also host community events and donation drives throughout the year which I really appreciate. I love everything about this shop and what they stand for!

I've made several orders over the years NEVER had less than a 5-star experience. My kids love the toys, the clothes and the diverse selection of books including LGBTQ+ selections through which they feel represented. Highly recommend. The owners and staff are genuinely great people. Any $ spent here is WELL SPENT and goes towards supporting a vision of an inclusive, love-filled, positive and vibrant world for our children.

Simply put: one of the best kids stores ever. Progressive, unique, colorful, inclusive, community-focused… does it get any better!? Our first place to go (in person or online) for special gifts for our own 2 kids (4 & 7 yo) and our friends’ birthdays. We love what you do and what you have built, Keewa & team!

We love Kido so much! We have family that live in Chicago, but have moved out of state, so it's always a treat to send and receive gifts through Kido. Their book selection is so good, and our kid lives in the Kido VOTE shirt. Thanks to the whole amazing Kido team and all the thoughtful intention they bring to the community!

I love this bookstore! I shop their online selection whenever good friends have a baby— their selection of thoughtful, beautiful books is the best! I love the way they curate what they carry. It reflects the world I want for my own kids— and all others!

Incredible selection of children’s books. Not only is there diverse racial/ethnic representation, but LGBTQ+ and American-minority religious experiences are affirmed and celebrated.I love being able to select children’s books that will resonate with a child’s experience, as well as books about experiences of others that will encourage empathy. I couldn’t ask for a better store to find what I’m looking for!Thank you for existing, Kido! The world could use more small businesses like you :)
