This shop has one of ABSOLUTELY CUTEST baby & children wear I have ever seen. It is true I am not…read morean expert in babywear but here, OMG! All sort of animal motives, nice colors, great materials, and especially Canadian signs such as bears, cariboos, owls, beavers, etc. So if you want something Canadian for your baby, go to Hatley or Roots, which is pretty close by. You will go crazy from the cuteness exposed there ;)

I love kids cloths - the itsy bitsy teeny tiny sizes and the adorable prints, and until recently I…read moresimply admired them from a distance. Occasionally when I came back to Canada to visit, friends would send me with lists of clothing to picking up here and bring back to them. But I never really had reason to purchase these pint sized items. But with a niece and another on the way I'm in full aunty mode. Although I find kids clothing expensive in general given the size of the clothing and how quickly it gets outgrown (not to mention dirty) Hatley's pricing is quite reasonable, especially if it's on sale - then if you can think far enough in advanced (or don't mind having last seasons prints) there are some fantastic bargains to be had. I just picked up the most adorable raincoat for my niece (on sale of course) and am putting it in the mail tomorrow!

I'll say this upfront... I like Gap Kids and Baby Gap. I shopped a lot at this brand but this…read moreparticular has always failed miserably at service. Compared to most other big mall Gap kids stores, this one is a bit on the smaller size but manages to jam in as much inventory as possible. You really feel it being cramped compared to other Gap kids. This makes for the most frustrating experience because you have 20 moms there with carriers, prams, and running kids all fighting for the same tiny aisle spaces. I really do like the Gap Kids quality and esthetics... my Sherway review should show that. I like it also because the constant sales make it a great way to find good clothes at affordable prices. Yorkdale is no different in terms of inventory and quality compared to Sherway Gardens. It has lots of choices from infant to size 14/16 kids and they're not scratchy or obnoxiously poorly styled. The cashier service is possibly the worst in all Gap stores. Each time I've shopped here, I've waited over 15 minutes on a good day. They're slow, inefficient, and poorly managed. When you know you have a busy window (right after lunch on Saturdays), why do you only have half the tills open with 6 associates on the floor. I'd take an associate off the floor and move the 10++ people in the cashier line out. Their cashier process is a painful bottleneck and it creates even less space to walk about in the store as it spills into the retail space. Just horrible management. I try not to shop here but sometimes you find a great deal and you just eye roll with fellow moms in the line up. I've chatted a few other moms and we all have the same painful thoughts about this store.

Years ago, my friend gave me something in a Zara bag. The item that was gifted to me wasn't from…read moreZara. I asked him if he shopped there often. He didn't, but his wife was a fan. I have remembered that bag ever since. I had never dropped by any Zara store until recently. It happened to be at this Zara at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, roughly an hour before a scheduled event at Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. This store is not all that far away from it. What prompted me to visit Zara? A collaboration between Pet Shop Boys and Zara. There are four t-shirts and a canvas tote bag created as part of the PSB line at Zara. The four t-shirts are mostly PSB albums, with the exception of Love etc., which is a song, and is both a t-shirt and tote bag at Zara. I frankly wanted the tote bag the most and was elated when I found it in the men's section. This Zara has two floors, with men's and children's clothing on the top floor, and women's clothing on the main floor. I immediately snagged a bag. Steps away was the Super t-shirt. It has the Super album logo on the front and its list of songs on the back. It dawned on me that this line is for men. However, the t-shirt felt unisex to me. As usual, I don't know what size I wear when I visit a store in which I own nothing clothing-wise. The fitting rooms had a long lineup that I did what I normally do. I tried this t-shirt on over the t-shirt that I was wearing. I found the right size right off the bat and looked at myself in the mirror steps away from the PSB section. Perfect. Done! I headed to the cashout area to pay for my items. There was one woman staffer handling a rather massive order with a male customer and it was a long wait. There was another man ahead of me. I am so patient that I wonder where I got that from. When it was my turn, I talked to the nice woman. Part of the reason why it takes longer than most cashout areas is that for every article of clothing that comes with a clothes hanger, the staffer walked over to hang it up, and returned to the register to continue. I am all for keeping things tidy, but this process comes with an inefficient overhead. Anyway, I had just got paid (my paycheque was deposited within minutes after I was in line, which feels like I won the jackpot, but not really) and used my debit card to pay for my items. I tapped and was great. I got my goodies in a paper shopping bag with handles. I loved it. I thanked the woman, who shut her register down after my purchases, with a colleague taking over her duties. I then headed down the escalato, and walked out of the store. There is one entrance dedicated to exiting. I entered the store from another entrance. The flow was good, while still maintaining physical distancing. Since then, I have ordered the three remaining t-shirts online to complete my PSB-Zara collection. The t-shirts are so comfortable to wear! The other three cover PSB's Format and Suburbia albums, and the Love etc. single. The tote is a winner! There's a hidden pocket with a zipper inside the tote. I love it. It's so roomy and lovely. It makes sense why Zara and PSB would collaborate on a line. They both embrace minimalism and clean design. I had a great first couple of experiences at Zara's, both at this store and online. We'll see if I come back for more limited edition collections. (300)

They carry great brands as well. But the best part of the store is Elaine. She is their amazing car seat technician and makes sure the car seats are in safely and shows you how to adjust them and what to watch for. She does all this with the kids in the car, all the while teaching them too. She's awesome!

I have had to venture to this store twice now to have my stroller looked at since this store and…read moreMacklem's are the only two stores in the GTA that provide service for the UppaBaby brand. I also think the stroller technician takes cares of other brands since I saw another mom bring in her Bugaboo for a tune-up. TIP: I just realized that the best person to ask for recommendations on strollers is the tech guy! Anyway, back to my review of the store: So, the store is pretty large for an independent baby store. Their website is user friendly and you can browse it first before coming into the store so you won't forget what you've come there for! They do sell a lot of things that I have not seen at other stores and their prices are competitive. There is a wide range of strollers that you can test out. The staff is quite friendly. The stroller guy is also quite nice :) You can find free parking along the residential side streets. Unfortunately for me, it is quite a trek - especially with all the construction that is happening in the area. However, I have always walked out of the store with a bag of goodies because it is hard to resist buying baby products - especially products you can't find at your local (but somewhat more accessible and convenient) babies r us - i.e., Dapper Snappers, Tilty Cup, Booginhead Sippy Cup Holder, Munchkin Sippy Straw Cup, etc.

I am so done with this location I will just drive through a different location than going to this one SAVE YOUR TIME PEOPLE! People here are rude and won't even bother helping you when you try to buy stuff. When it comes to their clothes why do they accept stuff that are just not usable anymore? AVOID THIS LOCATION! SAVE YOUR TIME DRIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. HIRE NICER AND BETTER EMPLOYEES!

They bluntly denied any sort of reimbursement and wanted me to contact the manufacturer who is a a US based company (still haven't figured out how to contact them) After experiencing the level of customer service they are giving I changed my decision of buying anymore. I strongly suggest to avoid this store.
