    Sweet display
    Emma J.

    This is such a sweet shop! Over the years, little independent children's stores seem to be fewer and farther between. And when you do find one, oftentimes they're ridiculously $$$$ and kind of bare.... But not Magical Child! Magical Child is legit. I love popping in here every once in a while, as they have a great rotation of products. Some items are mainstays too, which gives a nice familiarity to the space. Service is always low key and friendly, no pushy sales around here. My son is usually busy exploring & being loud whenever we visit, but they never bat an eye. They keep it a comfortable shopping experience, which I totally appreciate.

    What a lovely little shop! I needed a gift for a newborn and this was the perfect place! Locally owned and everyone on staff is super sweet and helpful. The shop has clothes for newborns through toddlers and is packed with all kinds of fun toys, games, books and more. Everything is thoughtfully curated. You can't not find a gift here. They also offer gift wrap and of course it's perfection! They also have an online shop and ship!!

    Magical Child is a magical world for the baby, child, and inner child. Old school wood handcrafted non-toxic toys, figurines, fruits, veggies, and animals. Heirloom quality baby gifts, thoughtfully curated educational books that are also instrumental in activating one's imagination. Cool clothes for the active boy and fashion forward dresses for the girly girl in your life. Price point range varies for the budget conscious and the extravagant luxurious world travelers. The staff is friendly, enthusiastic, and informative without being overbearing. Complementary gift wrapping to top off a one stop shopping exodus Is the bow on top of the gift. You can't put a price on memories as my girls and I have visited this sweet boutique for 24 years and still do for nostalgia.

    I had such a great experience at magical child! I got help buying newborn outfits, twin girls, and we were able to find different outfits that went together but weren't the same. The staff was wearing masks and very kind. I will definitely go back to buy my girls more treats! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    “The shop has some classic items (picked up a "Make Way for Ducklings", and a hand-turned, wooden baby rattle), as well as some new stuff (organic fiber, bamboo swaddling cloth, NICE!).”

She tears through target clothes the first day she wears them. She has yet to put a hole in one of her Precious Petals dresses. Last night, we did a collaboration with the store next door and had a mommy daughter style session. Michelle picked some really wonderful outfits for my daughter! She loves them! Not only is she happy with the comfort, but she feels beautiful and I know she will have these outfits until she grows out of them! Yes, you will spend more than the garbage you normally buy at department stores, but your kid will be comfortable and will be able to wear her favorite dress or leggings for as long as she can squeeze into them!!

Michelle was out doing a personal errand, but I called and explained how we we're all visiting Carlsbad just for her store and she came back immediately! I was so grateful that she made time for us, and she was very helpful with showing the girls which dresses to try, which size to get, and which colors were available. They each found the perfect dress, and when the dresses arrived in store, Michelle rushed the delivery to my house! I am beyond pleased with this store and the personal service. I hope I don't have little girls because everything in her shop was so cute and I'll end up buying everything!

Everything feels thoughtfully made and perfect for gifting or spoiling your little one. A must-visit if you're shopping for baby or toddler clothes with style and heart!

I ordered outfits for my granddaughters for pictures on October 1, 2026. I paid for the 2 day expedited shipping. On Friday I got a label created notification from UPS and that they didn't have the package and would notify me when they received it. Nothing all day Friday... Nothing Monday. Today I get an email that says ... your package is on the way... WHAT !!! I ordered it on Thursday Morning at 7:36 AM at the latest this package should of gone out with the evening deliveries. I am really disappointed in their online service. I sent several emails inquiring about my order and got no response, not an apology, not sorry for the inconvenience. Just a refund notice that I was getting my expedited shipping back. There is no way to call this brand, everything is done via email. I love love Rylee & Cru if you go into the store. I live in Carlsbad and the Customer Service from the individuals that work there is always great ! I own my own business, and I personally make sure that my clients are answered and responded to in a timely fashion, I understand that Rylee and Cru is a popular business and I as just one customer likely don't matter. But My family spend a lot of time and a lot of money in their store. But we got no response. We were put in a position to get new outfits for pics from a brand we can rely on WildWaWa . Ordered on Friday once I saw label created and they were here on Sunday morning. I think that Rylee and Cru is an incredible brand, their clothing is beautiful and well made. But if they can't handle the shipping part of it or even email their customer back they need to regroup and come up with something. I am really disappointed. Like I said I am 1 customer who clearly doesn't matter. If anyone else as had these issues and need outfits on the fly ... the WildWaWa has you covered and she's very responsive.

While there are a few higher-end pieces, it's definitely not your average overpriced boutique. Their clothes, accessories, and even the home goods are adorable and thoughtfully curated.
