Dream A Little Dream (specifically owner Darryl) truly impressed me…read more I never envisioned furnishing my first baby's nursery exclusively online, but I was left no choice given the circumstances at the time. The inability to view anything in person presented a few challenges, especially because I wanted to combine pieces from different manufacturers while maintaining a very cohesive/intentional display. Who knew there were 1,000 color variations of "White" furniture? Anyway - I located a crib that I wanted online and the crib manufacturer's site listed a handful of local shops I could purchase from. I had several questions relating to the crib/color matching/the manufacturer/etc. I decided I'd call the local shops to get some answers with the intent of hopefully ordering accordingly. I live in downtown Chicago, so I started calling the most nearby stores (that I was already familiar with). The first couple shops I called left me feeling a bit uneasy. I could have gotten past the fact that they quoted me delivery times upwards of 12 weeks out and obscene delivery costs (because I really loved the crib). BUT, the fact that they couldn't confidently answer my questions relating to the item's coloration, product line/manufacturer made it difficult to commit. So I decided to venture just outside the downtown area and call Dream A Little Dream. Owner Darryl answered the call and almost immediately lifted a giant weight off my shoulders. He was so refreshing to speak with. It was the difference of speaking to your run-of-the-mill salesperson vs. a true industry expert who actually cared about client concerns and satisfaction. He even went the extra mile (without my asking) and called a representative at the manufacturer to ensure a question I had about the coloration, just to further confirm what he was already 99% sure of. I am a bit of an A-type personality and him taking that extra step to give me peace of mind really gave me such comfort. His delivery costs were less than those of the closer-by shops (ironically) AND I saved in taxes by ordering through his Mokena shop vs. a store downtown. Win, win, win! Beyond that, Darryl was able to offer me a substantially shorter lead time than those quoted by the other shops. He has a great relationship with various manufacturers, including the one that makes the crib of interest, and thus he felt confident he could get the product delivered within a 6 week window. The crib ended up delivered closer to 5 weeks out from time of order -- which made me so happy. I had a few additional questions after ordering/delivery and Darryl has been completely reliable and accessible, super quick and professional with his responses. I'd feel great about sending any/all friends/family/clients to Dream A Little Dream.

You would not expect to find a baby store in the middle of what is essentially an office park…read more Entering Dream a Little Dream you'll see their offices at first and a few pieces of display furniture, but a bit further in you'll enter their warehouse where the bulk of the furniture is. And to be clear, it is JUST furniture--you will not find any sort of accessories or other baby items here, nor will you find juvenile furniture beyond a convertible crib. But they have several different cribs, bookshelves, etc. and they also carry Romina furniture, which is a brand from Romania that is Greengold certified. (Not sure if they carry Romina's sister brand Silva, however.) I visited to look for a chair for my child's nursery. They have three or so different brands of chairs. There was one I did like; it reclines, has control buttons on the inside of the chair (instead of outside where little fingers may enjoy pressing buttons) and there's USB connections as well for phone (it may even have had the Apple lightening connection). Unfortunately it was about $100 more expensive than another I'm interested in, and it would cost me $175 to have it delivered to my home on the far north side. They'd put it together, rather than me having to put together another one I might buy, but I'm still not sure I can justify spending a minimum $300 more on a chair from them. Anyway, it's a place that could be worth a visit if you're seeking baby furniture. I'm not sure how the scale of delivery costs changes if you're closer to Modena than I am, so perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if you're in the south suburbs.

I came because I've been interested in a Tula since my baby was born. I had tried several carriers and she wasn't really a fan of any except the baby k'tan (which I do love, but she slides down after about 20mins of wearing it). I wanted something studier for her and obviously something cute too! I found the perfect Tula in the shop. The woman in the shop was so pleasant and helpful in getting it to fit properly. I never would have got that by purchasing online. They sell cloth diapers new and used. So many cute prints!! I will have to come back and buy some soon. They had the softest cutest clothing. Hair bows galore. Muslin blankets. Amber teething jewelry. I was in baby heaven at this store! I honestly would purchase one of everything if I could afford it.

It seems like at the time I was here they'd just opened an expanded portion of their store, where they have some toys and things for older children--toddlers and up. You'll find lots of clothes, blankets, and books, as well as a couple wagons, strollers, and car seats. The owner is a midwife as well so you might avail yourself of services, too. I bought a couple of onesies that are magnetized. I keep hearing "no snaps!!" (but like EVERY PIECE of baby clothing has snaps...), so these were intriguing. They have a magnets along the flap as the closure mechanism so I bought a couple in the 6-9 month and above size to try them out. I have high hopes!

Given the…read morename I was expecting a store with a kind of folksy feel, which may be the case at the original shop down a couple doors down (at least I suspect they are under common ownership since it would be unusual to have two shops with "little barn" in the name). This kids store carries some standard children's brands that are higher end than what you would find in a Target or something. They also sell other child-related sundries like bath wash, some small toys, and so on. When we visited they had a couple sale racks on display, one with a straight 40% off and one that had colored dots on the clothes with prices according to the color. My friend and I both left with well over $100 of merchandise that would have been significantly more at higher prices. And I love everything I bought. I am hoping that a couple of the things that I got for my little one aren't just a tad too small because she would look so freakin adorable in them. I sent photos to my mom of everything to share the cuteness. Some of the things I bought are a couple sizes big so that my daughter can grown into them. This store is beautifully decorated and arranged, not at all cluttered and with lots of natural light flooding the place. Unlike a lot of children's stores, they left the floor pretty wide open with the merchandise largely along the outer walls to provide a lot of floor space because as you might guess, people with small children usually have strollers--but almost most children's store I've been to, particularly within Chicago, seem to forget that because they're so small or packed that it's a struggle to maneuver around them. The women who were in the shop were helpful but not overbearing. This store doesn't have any dedicated parking but there's a good amount along Third Street and also on State Street.

Do yourself a favor when traveling with kids, rent equipment from Babierge and rid yourself of the stress travelling with bulky children equipment can bring.

We came in shopped around, we were sticker shocked at some of these prices because we have seen better prices at a Burlington, and what not but wanted to give them a try. That being said, we did end up finding a few great deals after digging around. They have a $10 for 10 onesies area where we were able to find a bunch of newborn onesies in great condition. A lot of their toys, and walkers were super high priced for a resale and with missing pieces. The other thing is that we had little to no interaction with the staff, but the little interaction we did have they were actually very brunt and rather rude for no reason. I overheard a few conversations with others and they did get a bit snippy. Not sure we'll be back to this location, but if you're looking for a deal on gently used items, and have the time to dig around you're bound to find a few great things.

I'm a bit wary of buying too much right now because (1) Baby's gender will be a surprise, and (2) I'm due in the fall, so not sure what I'll need given Baby's size + the weather. Luckily they are ALWAYS emailing coupons and have sales, so I'm sure I'll still get great deals once Baby's here!
