Once Upon A Child is a resale store for all things child-related, offering the perfect solution with new and gently used brand name clothes, toys, books, equipment, and furniture. It is a great shopping experience where customers can find many like-new or new items at great pricing and excellent value. The store gets a ton of merchandise in every day, with fun new things and the cutest clothes, so the inventory changes frequently. The staff is always so nice, friendly, down to earth, accommodating, and helpful. The store’s larger space makes it much easier to shop. Customers can simply gather up gently used kids' items and bring them in for money on-the-spot for all items accepted, though they may not be able to take everything at one time due to being busy or space constraints. It is a convenient place to find a new wardrobe for each season or a special event at a fraction of the price of new ones, with never any stains or tears in the clothes and toys that are always clean.
It’s been great having a store to purchase second hand baby clothes. Everything I’ve purchased has been in great condition.

I hope every once upon a child i come near. This one was very high on their prices. Mabie even double, on some items. Only bought a few items for this reason. I would probably pick another St. Louis location if I returned. There is three here.

Staffing is rude, prices are high for children’s used clothing especially when compared to other OUAC locations. The new building is nice and clean and easy to walk around though
