Once Upon a Child buys and sells gently used kids stuff, including clothes, shoes, toys, books, games, puzzles, and baby gear. They buy all seasons everyday without an appointment and pay cash on the spot. The store offers lots of selection for children of all ages, with amazing clothing at a fraction of the price of brand new items, including designer pieces. Many find it a godsend for new parents and an excellent store with wonderful staff, very well laid out and organized. Customers report the business as very fair and follow predicted timelines, with some driving hours to shop there.
However, the shopping experience is just okay for some. Clothing racks are often overfilled, making browsing difficult and cumbersome, and sizes are often in the wrong spot. The assessment time for selling items could be up to 3hrs, and they offer a low purchase price for used toys compared to the market. Some have overheard employees having loud negative conversations about customers. While many find good items, especially for play clothes and toys, these factors can make the experience less enjoyable.
Love the concept but it is a bit crowded inside. I am disappointed with consignment prices they pay out but always find quality items there.

I went there to sell some of our excess kids clothes today. Jen & Jennifer were super friendly & helpful with my questions. Thanks! They accepted 1/3 of my clothes, but that’s ok, I didn’t expect it all to go.

Jam packed full of good quality used clothes at good prices.
