Once Upon A Child Cary is a voted best place to shop for children's clothes, carrying sizes from preemie to youth size 20. It is a really great store with high quality items for a fair price, where shoppers always find brands like Baby Gap, Little Me, Ralph Lauren, and Vans. The store offers a massive selection and is one of the largest, most well-organized, and most well-stocked locations. Shoppers can find great deals, like Stokke strollers for $200, and can leave with a whole wardrobe for cheap by limiting cost per item. Some brand name items with tags are fairly priced, and there are even organic cotton outfits for only $5. While some pricing may seem a little off, and the shoe bins can sometimes contain scuffed items, customers always find what they need. The store also buys gently used kid stuff for cash on the spot with no appointment necessary. The selling experience is great, efficient, and accommodating, even for large quantities. The pay is on the lower end but fair for the convenience. The return policy is 30 days without a receipt for store credit, or 7 days with a receipt for money back. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages for upcoming events!

Selection was pretty great and well organized! Our girls love going here to pick new things out and have made a game of donating clothes that no longer fit them.
