Basic Baby Rentals is terrific. We rented a crib and bedding from them for for out of town…read morerelatives. Everything arrived in great condition and right on schedule. They carried the crib to the second floor and set it up. Pick up was just as easy. We accidentally put our own crib sheets in with their linens. The crib was picked up before we realized it. When I contacted them, they not only found our sheets, but they mailed them back for no extra cost. We highly recommend Basic Baby Rentals.

We recently traveled to Boston with our 4 month old and wanted the convenience of a few items…read moreduring our visit. Using the online reservation system through their website, I reserved a bouncy seat and jogging stroller to have delivered to our hotel. Both items were already there when we arrived (they arrived before we did, even though i had requested delivery for the next morning...a pleasant surprise!) and they even included a rain cover for the jogging stroller because it was going to be a drizzly weekend. The items were in great condition and they made our trip so much more enjoyable. I was impressed with their service and items and would highly recommend.

Horrible experience today. I walk in to the store with boxes covering the front enterance which was…read moreunpleasing the second I walked in. The girl behind the counter who I came to find was the owners daughter (and 12 years old.) was beyond rude, yelling at her employees, wearing improper work attire (shorts and a T-shirt) giving extremely judgmental looks to me and my two kids during our entire checkout process. Also learned that the items are extremely up-charged, seeing as to how I was close to paying 15$ for a stress toy that retails at 4.99$. I support small businesses but will NOT be supporting this one.

I had an awful experience with this shop. I called ahead as I had heard they had needohs for sale…read more I spoke to a young girl on the phone who told me they had some nice sicles left. She asked me how many I needed and I told her I would need four. I explained that I lived an hour away and she stated she would hold them for me, asking me for my name. I drove an hour with my children (one of whom is profoundly disabled). My son was super excited, but when we got there the two girls said they just started their shift and could not find the items. They texted a group chat and told us that the girls who were on the shift before them were new hires. They stated one of them replied "maybe" when asked if they spoke with me. I showed her my call log and the girls apologized. My son ended up sick from car ride / anxiety over the situation, vomiting at the exit and we quickly had to leave. I did reach out to the store owner. She claimed she was out of town and would call me back the following day. Days later I never heard from her so I followed up in email. Instead of being apologetic for the situation and not calling me back she proceeded to shift blame and gaslight me. She said they would never agree to hold and that I should "plan ahead". I don't recommend a store whose owner does not value their customers. I am deeply disappointed in her response to what happened.

I wonder if they have any grown up versions of that one?".. and went on in. Well, I found much more than this small shop has a right to have jammed inside its walls -- hats, shades, sandals, outdoorsy clothes of all kinds. So I happily left with a UV protectant hat, a new sundress, and ordered an insect-repelling shirt that will arrive in 10 days. Of course I signed up for the mailing list, are you kidding me? They have Tevas!

I adore this store! It is located one street over from Main, on busy North Ave, sandwiched between…read morethe Diner and a dance studio. It opened in the summer and has been quite a hit. A big, thoughtfully decorated window invites one in where you will find a divine collection of childrens' clothing, accessories, books, toys and other items bound to delight any youngster. The selection is good without being overwhelming and while more pricey than, say, Walmart or similar stores, I think you get excellent value for what you are getting. Some of the lines they carry come from England and are just adorable. And it isn't just for girls - I have got things for my now almost 2 year old nephew which were original and charming. In the back by the check out area, there is a display of some lovely jewelry, bags, and other pretty things for Mom or Grandma too. Or in my case, Auntie! I got two beautiful necklaces and some earrings on my first visit. The owner and her mother run it together and both are just delightful. I've had some excellent conversations there while checking out. Young mothers with babies are often to be found there and it is a warm and welcoming place. They often have sales and weather permitting a table of interesting items outside. Whether you are shopping for a new baby or a five year old, you will find something here that is unique, well made and just what you didn't know you were looking for. Check it out! You will be very glad you did.

Re-doing my first review, now that I have more time…read more OMG, I love Cordani shoes. As in absolutely adore. I'm not sure how I heard about the brand, but I am thrilled I did. The shoes are cute, comfortable, Italian-made, and high-quality. I must have at least 7 or 8 pairs now. The retail outlet is next to their offices, and opened limited hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Prices at the outlet are extremely reasonable for such great shoes. Cordani has huge warehouse sales twice a year (June and December),which are super popular. You can usually meet at least one of the owners then, and they are both super friendly. However, if you unfortunately cannot visit Massachusetts, you can buy Cordani at Zappos, Nordstrom, or various shoe boutiques. I'm a Cordani fan for life.

By 9pm she had gone to the store (without me asking), grabbed the pack and play she knew I would want and drove it over to my house. It is also the only store that I know of in Massachusetts that has high quality baby gear and anything else you would need actually in the store. Even if you have to drive an hour to get here it is worth getting strollers, cribs, car seats, everything baby here because they will always give you their honest opinion and you can test the products (which online it is impossible to do).
