I love this store! They have a large selection of baby clothes, consistently good quality, and it's very affordable. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can also order it online and pick it up in the store for free. Carter's is my go-to shop for my kids' clothing. Also, for this particular store, the service has always been good when I've been. For some reason, one time when I ordered clothes online it took a really long time to come in (took 9 days when the app said 3-6 business days) but the staff were helpful when I came to ask about it and told me when it would most likely come based on shipment dates. read more

I can't stand it, all these cute baby clothing! I came in looking for a baby shower gift for a baby boy. First of all this store is a pretty good size. I haven't been in here for a year, but like the last time I was here the store is always immaculate. On this visit, the store clerk was very friendly and helpful. Making sure to let the customers know that there were great deals going on right now. I was able to find an outfit. I selected something cozy to wear since it's getting chilly. I thought the price to be reasonable (with sale). A lot of cute things with Christmas themed attire displayed at the front of the store. Prices are pretty good, but you got to look for them too. Great store, I would be back if I needed to shop for more cute baby and toddler items. read more

Carter's Babies & Kids - My purchase for a baby shower - Children's Clothing Near Me - Carlsbad, California

What a refreshing store to enter after an awful experience at the coach outlet. I was greeted with a friendly smile and a nice explanation of the sales and specials they have. 3 different employees asked if was ready to check out or needed help. Sorry to hear others had a poor experience, I'm a mom and I get it though. It gets frustrating when the store is busy and we're always looking for something specific for the kids. It's a popular place and I appreciate the great service they provided on a Saturday. Back to the staff, couple things I noticed: 1- they recognized each other for great work. For example they had a huddle about how busy Fri night was and how great they handled it. A manager said good job to an employee who went through their sales with me. 2- they are happy. They were talking to one another and laughing. Idk what is customary in retail stores, but as a customer I definitely did not see that as unprofessional. It's shows how good the store is doing with their work culture. read more

Carter's Babies & Kids - My son loves Dino's and look at all those clearance stickers! - Children's Clothing Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This is where I get clothes for my 2-year old grandson. I like the store & online as well. I was here this afternoon & they were having the 'buy 1 get 2 free' shirts, so of course I got some. They were naturally great deals!! I paid and as I was walking out, reviewing my receipt, noticed 1 shirt for $12. So I came back in & pointed it out to the cashier. She said that I paid the regular price for one shirt because I didn't buy the 'right number of t-shirts' to get the discount. I know I should have been responsible for correctly counting the shirts. I accept that responsibility. However, I expected some kind of customer service from Anna, the cashier who assisted me. Something like, "oh, if you get two more shirts, you'd get them for free!' So the lesson for me is - a) check your receipt & b) count your purchases to make sure you're receiving the right discounts! read more

I'm sad that my oldest is getting to be too big for this store, but my little one can still shop here. I was here yesterday and went a little nuts with all the sales they had so I bought more than what I originally went in there for, but that's besides the point. I like this brand because I grew up with it and the clothes are great, they last longer than other brands and the sales are just an added bonus. This place is located in the Premium Outlets so I had to stop in. I will be shopping here for my friends' kids even once my kids outgrow them, great store and great customer service. read more

This store is extremely busy besides that alondra provided excellent customer service!! Had bunch of questions for her and even got an amazing deal with a carters credit card !!! I will definitely be coming back to purchase the whole store thank you alondra !! read more

SUPER HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. The manager in this store is so rude. When I bought their products, their system was down and she did not know when it would back. So I couln't pay and then she told me to come back. When I came back, I asked them about the details of receive because it confused me. The manager did not want to explain because they almost close ( Maybe she just want to go home). She did not explain, she just told me that " IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BUY IT, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY IT" if I do not want to buy it then why I ran back with carrying my baby on my hand. It only take some minute to explain to your customer, why she was rude to customer like that. I just got their credit card and I really want to cancel it. read more

Can't beat the prices at the Carters Outlet! There is a good range in sizes for the clothes for babies to toddlers and I believe young kids. Can't say there is a the biggest selection in each size, but the prices are good for stocking up on basics through the growth spurts. This place does come with chaos of course. It's hard to move around in the store since everything is packed in and of course there are strollers and little ones. It would have been good to arrange the space better for parents to maneuver. There are also never enough cashiers working so hopefully your little one isn't anxious to get out of the store since you'll be waiting awhile. I think the prices are good enough to overlook some of the things I don't like about this place. Check it out if you need to stock up. read more

Great place to shop for baby clothing. Came here during the holidays to take advantage of the sales and boy did I! Lots of cute clothes and great quality. Pricing without sales or rewards certificates can be pricey. So be sure to sign up for their rewards and check out the clearance section for deals. read more

Shopping here makes me want to have a baby... Any volunteers??? ========================================= On a serious note, they have the cutest baby wear... I came in to shop for gifts and not for myself. Reasonably priced and, before you know it, you'll be spending a grip. It can also get overwhelming with all the baby stuff. Customer service is hit and miss. Carter's is next to Panda Express. read more

Dear Parents, The Carter's Outlet is a great place to get quality kids clothing at super cheap prices. In order to allow everyone to enjoy their shopping experience, please don't bring your gargantuan, Hummer sized stroller into the store as the place is packed with clothes and the aisles are tight enough as it is. Please also reign in your kids. Shopping while dozens of unkempt, dirty kids are running about is almost unbearable. The great prices, however, force me to put up with your unruly offspring. Thank you for your consideration. Chris C. read more

This is right off the freeway and in a great location, so that both those that live in San Diego and those that live in south Orange County could easily get to this store. They have very cute styles and I especially love all the holiday outfits. The clothes are all organized by size and gender, so it makes it easier to find what you are looking for. The customer service is often lacking, and sometimes difficult to find help. The check out line was long...and only one cashier was working while 2 others were just talking. They finally looked up and started working another register. The cashier helping me was nice and talked to me about a $10 coupon I can get in the future if I spent another $1. So I took out one item and added a more expensive one to qualify. As she was ringing and putting my things in the bag..she left the baby doll I purchased .. I told her don't forget to put that in the bag too. I paid and left, as I wanted to beat the rush hour traffic. Unfortunately, when I got home, and took the baby things out of the bag to give to my daughter, the baby doll was not there! I called the store and was told no problem, just bring in receipt and they will hold one for me. She didn't even ask for my name! Now I have to drive back 45 minutes to get my item I paid for. You can be sure I will watch the cashier more closely...for they just aren't paying close enough attention. read more

I didn't find an infant coat I liked. I got almost half a dozen packs of onesies. I recommend this place for bodysuits, burp cloths, going-home outfits, and socks. I spent about $114 on over a dozen items. I think the bibs and hooded towels are better quality than the washcloths I bought at Babies R Us. I wish they had a brimmed baby sun hat. My aunt talked me out of getting a couple of sleep gowns, sleep sacks, and sweater. Now I won't need any pant or shirt sets until six months from now. The average price may have been $6.15. The range of prices was between $5.43-14.48. read more

If you got a new born to toddler aged child and are on a budget come here for some quality baby clothes. Great weekly deals, small store that can get crowded on the weekends, I would say the best time to come is on a weekday a couple hours before closing time because it's pretty slow. We shopped here for our new born daughter a lot because you can get a lot of cute onesies for pretty cheap :) They also give you coupons after you shop to come back and get a percentage off your next purchase or another 2 for 1 deal. The shop is a little messy and the customer service is good( never had a problem here) If your balling on a budget come here for your babies early needs. read more

The staff are extremely rude. Clothes are cute so I gave it a two. I would like to shop there if the staff wasn't so hostile.

Like good deals for quality baby clothes? Carter's is a fine place to check out. This branch is located at the outlet mall in Carlsbad. Clean, well organized store. Professional staff. Would check this place out before other stores at the outlet mall. read more

This place always has a sale going on. They have boy's clothes to the right when you walk in and girl's clothes o the left. The store is a little crammed and it can be difficult to maneuver a stroller in here without nocking clothes onto the floor. Lines are long during holiday season and it seems like they needed more than one person at the register when I was there bc I waited in line for at least 20 minutes. They have reward points that get you free store credit. I think $75 spent gets you $5. They have a wide variety of clothes and minimal toys. Employees are very nice at the register. There is no one circulating the store to help people out though. I'm sure I'll be back. read more

This is a fantastic and very affordable clothing line for infants and toddlers. I've purchased a lot of items in the last 1.5 years for my niece and have been very happy with the quality. Now that I'm shopping for a peanut of our own, I've found the price and quality is superior to most brands out there. The prices can't be beat! There always seems to be a sale going on so I wouldn't purchase things at full price. As fast as little ones grow out of clothes, there's no reason to pay an outrageous amount of money for their clothing. That's my opinion, anyway. I made a huge online purchase over the Presidents holiday weekend to take advantage of their great sales and prices but once I received, there were a few items that I wanted to exchange. I went into the store and the exchange was quick and painless. Store was stocked well and I was able to find the sizes I wanted without issue. I ended up spending even more money during my visit so I'll say it was a successful shopping trip. I look forward to finding more cute outfits for our little peanut as she grows. read more

I love Carters! This store is always fully stocked and the sales are endless. My baby is growing so fast and this is a quick stop down the street from my house to stock up on her next size up. Customer service was so friendly here and a couple employees asked if I needed help finding something. One guy took the time to small talk a bit which is always great customer service. Store is clean and it's on the exterior part of the mall. There's always parking on this side- if it's not holidays or weekends. Join their rewards, get great deals, coupons and points towards $$$ off's! The rewards are shared with Oshkosh which is a couple stores down. read more

Went today and I'm convinced they read my yelp review- yeah, right. Non-smiley lady wasn't there. 2 very smiley and helpful employees were there. Pleasant shopping experience. read more

Carter's is one of the original names in babywear. Simple, pretty clothes that are made well. This location is an outlet and the items here are very affordable bordering cheaper than second-hand stores. Their sizes start at newbies and only go up to toddler size 5 so it's just for the youngins. They are big in coordinating pieces and you can even get a matching stuffed animal and baby toy to complete your outfit. read more

My wife likes this place , I have to wait outside the store because I can't stand non experience teens running the store , They have no clue what is going on in the store what s on sale and what's not , The girl name Britney behind the register gave customers so much attitude I was shock , I'm not sure if they are under paid or over paid however they need to be supervised, I'm simply not going to even wait outside , I'll refuse to pay for my baby cloth at this store . read more

One thing I love about the Carter's brand is that they have cute apparel for both my Preschooler and Baby. I have to admit some items are still a little overpriced for my taste. But when they have a sale, they do it right! I went there today, and found a few cute things for $2.99 plus an additional 25% off. They currently have 50% off their regular priced items, and an additional 25% off of their clearance. The sales associate Ashley R. is doing a great job! She was really helpful and even showed me coupons available on my iPhone. I definitely recommend for Mommy on a budget. read more

Finding everything was okay. But when I went to check out a cashier named Adrianna was very rude. read more

I just adore this store! So many discounts and great customer service! Every time I come in here it has always been kept tidy and clean. There are so many cute outfits to choose from I get myself going on a shopping spree haha! Whether you need something for your little ones, a baby shower gift, birthday gifts, Come on in this one and shop til you drop! : ) read more

Overall this is a great store. Very clean and organized. The employees have also always been extremely friendly and helpful. I still wish they had more of a selection and that is the only reason for the four stars instead of five. I definitely recommend you try this place out, especially if you have a little one who is in NB-18 month size clothing. read more

I LOVE Carters and I especially love this outfit - so much so that I make a trip here every time we are visiting family in Oceanside (which is usually at least once every new size my now almost 7 month daughter grows into). This outlet store can get very crowded on the weekends. The clothes racks are really close together so it's sometimes difficult to navigate with a stroller. And, the line is ALWAYS long - weekend or week day. They always have a great variety of everything here - always easy to find a size. read more

SO overpriced. I mean really, the stuff of course is quality which is why it doesn't get 1 star, but I find cheaper at a regular store and this one is supposed to be an outlet. Let down city... My tip? Go to costco and buy carters. Way cheaper. read more

I felt I had to write about this specific Carter's because they have a clerk that definitely needs to go. I read some of the other reviews and I felt like I met the exact person they were referring to. First, I am from out of town and needed a baby gift to take to the hospital. I had never been to the Outlets there so I called from the parking lot because I drove around and couldn't figure out where to park. The woman that answered the phone was so rude and made me almost consider The Gap or Gymboree instead. Her attitude was clearly saying, "don't come here, go somewhere else". She said that she didn't know directions and couldn't possibly tell me where they were near so I could find it easier. Wow. I found a person in the parking lot who nicely directed me. Once inside the store, I was approached quickly by a lovely young gal who helped me select several outfits for a new baby. She clearly wanted to make sure that I got the correct sizing and went and gathered several things that I mentioned I wanted to find. Once i got to the cashier, I quickly recognized "THE VOICE" who had been so rude on the phone. How did I know that? I heard her rudely talking to 3 people who rang up in front of me. When it was my turn, I asked about something behind the register on the wall and she grabbed it and tossed it to me. I don't think she was having a bad day--it appeared to be her usual operating procedures. Carter's needs to find employees that want to be there and enjoy working in an environment with strollers, mom's, people shopping for babies, etc. I don't have a name, but this woman is a piece of work. In the future, I will go to the Scottsdale Carter's in Arizona. Everyone there smiles, helps the customers and seems to be excited about the cute outfits that Carter's always carries. read more

Line is long and only 2 cashiers who take forever. And the store is warm. I'm gonna pass out soon waiting.

I stopped by being 41 weeks pregnant to check out the selection. We don't know what we are having so that makes it hard to shop in stores like this. There are absolutely no gender neutral things in the girls area however I was able to find a few things in the boys. They have a good selection but the prices are not great. I find it funny that I had actually found some of the pieces they were selling here at my local Ross/marshalls for way less. Even the clearance is not cheaper than those places. If you don't mind paying average prices than this is your place but $7 for a 3 pack of newborn socks is pretty ridiculous. I did grab two sleepers for $8 each which was a fine deal for me just not impressed overall with prices since Marshall and tj maxx have the same stuff read more

Love this place!!! Always coupons and deals going on and their clearance sales are generally awesome!! Clothing is great quality and makes my lil man look sharp. $10 bucks back for every $50 spent and just a really fun place to shop. read more

Went in today to return a few items and the manager Noemi was so rude. Didn't get a greeting, she had a frown on her face, and she grabbed my bag of items and started the transaction. I felt very unwelcomed unlike other Carter's stores in the surrounding areas of San Diego. Other associates were more focused on their tasks rather than customer service. Its safe to say I will not be coming back to this location. read more

I always thought this place was over priced but I wasn't in the know. It is one of those places that you never spend full price on. It seems like everything eventually goes to the $6 rack AND you basically always can get another 20% off that and $10 free dollars. They also have all the cute nautical clothing right now for boys and girls. Love! read more

LOVE this place! I don't have any sweet little ones of my own, but I think 99% of my friends have popped one out in the last couple of years which means this spot has been my go-to for baby shower, birthday, christmas, etc. gifts. The quality of the clothing is great, they always have a killer deal going on, customer service is friendly, and the store is usually pretty organized. The little outfits are adorable, and all of the mommies say they fit their little ones really well. Total win! read more

My wife and I have been here a handful of times and always walk out with a bag of clothes for great prices! Every time we go in it seems like there is some sort of special (spend $50 get $10 gift card etc.) and that is on top of the already greatly discounted prices. This is definitely our go to store when it comes to picking up clothes for our daughter! If you want to get tons of nice clothing without putting a huge dent in your wallet this is your place. read more

Giving this a one star because it's holiday season on a Saturday afternoon and they literally have one register open when they aren't utilizing all three. don't come here, do yourself a favor and shop online! read more

I was bummed that they didn't have a certain jammie in 18 mo so I could get all 3 of my kids matching jammies. An adorable blond girl named Brittany was helping me and was very apologetic they didn't have it. I left then came back in 30 minutes later to go ahead and buy the 24 mo size (even though it would be way too big for my 16 month old). Brittany approached me, excited, with the size 18 mo in hand, saying she was just about to look up my phone number from the register and CALL ME TO COME BACK! That's the type of amazing customer service you'd expect from Nordstrom, not Carters. I was blown away. Brittany gave credit to her co-workers too but I was really impressed that she was going to go to the trouble just to make my day. I'm a devoted customer for life. read more

yesterday my family and i decided to go shopping at the carlsbad outlets, while there i went into Carter's (with twins you need all the sales you can find) when i was ready to check out there was two young ladies at the registers, one was helping another customer and the other (Stephanie) was just standing there, so i said can you ring me up here and she says in a snotty tone, "umm, no she can as soon as she's done with that customer" i just stood there in shock then left with out making a purchase read more
