We have been coming to this kid to kid location ever since I had my first kid (6/7 years ago). If I'd have known how much stuff they truly had inside; Id have come in sooner.. they had more then just kid clothes and toys. (The store was under different management at the time; it's quite surprising how much the current management has improved the store in its entirety.)
Their maternity items would have been really nice to have since they were fairly priced and In great condition! (some were even brand new!) The price of maternity items and kid items in general are through the roof these days and I can't justify paying full prices for something that may only be used for a few months.
My kids have fun every time we go in. (Which sometimes is a bad kind of good.) They have a little area for the kids to play in, they get to make new friends, play, watch and educational show, or try out a new toy they may want..
Here's where this love hate relationship comes in. It is very nice to be able to shop while your kids aren't whining in the cart and trying to pull things off shelves. It's also not easy having to explain to your kid why they can't take them all home (or why they can't have every one that they played with).
The amount of amazing items they have is incredible. There's truly something for every type of kid and their prices are great. My favorite part is bringing in the clothes that no longer fit my kids (two months after purchasing them) and getting to choose cash for the items they were able to take or get 20% more in store credit to use on anything in the store! Personally I like to get store credit so that we get 20% more and use only that amount to replenish their wardrobes. They also give you more money for trade in items then I've seen anywhere.
We get our costumes or at least pieces towards a costume idea, jackets, boots, sandals, shoes, baby tubs, toys and more toys, leotard, soccer cleats, bows, jammies, hats, sippy cups, diapers sometimes, and the list goes on and on. It's a one stop shop and is always my first stop.
The one thing I recommend is to go in to the store when it's not a peak hour. It can get busy and it can be a lot to go through BUT it's so worth it if you are a deal finder/coupon hoarder like myself. We are moving out of town and I know that I'll be back at least once a month to trade in and stock up on the next season or size!
Thanks for being so great and keeping the store running so amazingly well for us parents who have to save every penny and live pay check to pay check! read more
