There is also a table with small chairs and puzzles in the center for keeping little ones occupied.

I think not, but you would have surely thought so given their cold manner.

I had decided to visit my local Carters after hearing so much about it. I usually shop at The…read moreChildren's Place, however I decided to give it a shot. Beaming with excitement of the thought of new clothes my two daughters could not sit in the car any longer. Immediately walking into the store I felt an overwhelming blanket of claustrophobia as the clothes seemed to be stacked miles high and all over the place. While putting clothes neatly back, as I respect the hard work of a sales Associate, I was given rude smirks as they must of thought my incredible folding skills were so good I could steal their job. Nonetheless I kept on as my goal to make my daughters happy was not yet fulfilled. Even though I don't take the time to remember the workers, there was one who stood out in particular. She had silver blonde hair, was kinda short and pretty loud. She yelled at my kids multiple times, and even went so far as to what seemed as though talking behind my back. At the end of the day I did not like any of the clothes, none of them fit, and the service was down right disgusting -- literally (there were bugs in the changing rooms). So I will continue to shop at The Children's Place as the service and clothing is of much higher quality.

Stopped in just to browse. Found a dress that I liked and tried it on. The owner or employee of the…read morestore asked me how I was doing and I told her the dress didn't look as expected. She brought me three other dresses that she thought I would like. I'm glad she did because I normally won't spend $100 and up on a dress for myself. I really liked one of her suggestions so I purchased it. I was happy there was a 20 percent off sale. The dress ended up being $140 but I think I'll get enough wears from it making it worth it. They were so helpful with their recommendations and letting me know their thoughts on which dress was the best for me to buy. I didn't feel pushed into buying either. Can't wait to come again in the future to see new arrivals!

I came because I've been interested in a Tula since my baby was born. I had tried several carriers and she wasn't really a fan of any except the baby k'tan (which I do love, but she slides down after about 20mins of wearing it). I wanted something studier for her and obviously something cute too! I found the perfect Tula in the shop. The woman in the shop was so pleasant and helpful in getting it to fit properly. I never would have got that by purchasing online. They sell cloth diapers new and used. So many cute prints!! I will have to come back and buy some soon. They had the softest cutest clothing. Hair bows galore. Muslin blankets. Amber teething jewelry. I was in baby heaven at this store! I honestly would purchase one of everything if I could afford it.

It seems like at the time I was here they'd just opened an expanded portion of their store, where they have some toys and things for older children--toddlers and up. You'll find lots of clothes, blankets, and books, as well as a couple wagons, strollers, and car seats. The owner is a midwife as well so you might avail yourself of services, too. I bought a couple of onesies that are magnetized. I keep hearing "no snaps!!" (but like EVERY PIECE of baby clothing has snaps...), so these were intriguing. They have a magnets along the flap as the closure mechanism so I bought a couple in the 6-9 month and above size to try them out. I have high hopes!

UPDATE: After sharing my experience below, the manager, Christy, reached out to acknowledge the…read moresituation. When I returned to the store, she graciously offered a price reduction or a full refund. She also explained that bathrooms are available to store patrons (including children) upon request. I appreciated her willingness to address the situation and her politeness throughout the whole exchange. Thank you, Christy! I visited this store yesterday with my 18-month-old and 3-year-old. After making a selection of clothes I was examining a felt case of magnetic blocks when my newly potty-trained 3-year-old told me she needed to go potty. There were no public bathrooms available at the store. As every mom who has potty-trained knows, this can quickly become a minor emergency. At this point I made two mistakes: first, I didn't check the price tag on the blocks, and second, I didn't keep track of how much I was being charged. Unfortunately, I was too focused on my daughter and whether we would need to make a quick dash out of the store. Once home I was dismayed to discover that small set of blocks was $69.99. I tried calling the store to see if they could help me but only reached voicemail. As it was already close to closing time I decided to return the next day. At the store the next morning, I explained the situation to the employee at the counter and asked if they could extend some grace and do a one-time return of this single item. The employee remembered me and seemed sympathetic, but had to ask her manager in the back. Her manager remained in the back and sent word that they would not make an exception to their no-return policy. I then asked whether I could simply exchange the blocks for other merchandise totaling the same amount. That was also refused. Instead, I was told my only option was to sell the blocks back to the store on consignment for less than half of what I had paid for them the day before. I declined, as I would rather try to sell them myself and recoup more of the cost. At no point did the manager ever come forward to speak with me personally, but merely sent her employee back and forth. For anyone shopping here in the future, I strongly recommend checking every price tag carefully before checking out. Some items may be considerably more expensive than expected!

I LOVE The Children's Place. It is one of the best places to buy quality children's clothing…read morewithout breaking the bank. Sizes start at newborn and go through 14, and the clothes gravitate more toward the Circo (Target) and Gymboree lines in terms of style: lots of bright colors, graphic tees, and denim. I love seeing collared shirts and khaki pants for boys, as one of my pet peeves is the way Americans dress their male children, which seems to include sweatpants and sports t-shirts, more often than not. And The Children's Place has great holiday collections for Hanukkah/Christmas outfits. You can also buy school uniforms here. Unfortunately, the Geneva Commons store is a bit smaller than most, and I often feel like their stock is not quite as impressive as the store at Stratford. You can usually find new items on the shelves, but the sale selection is slim. The staff is not rude, as one reviewer says, but they aren't warm/fuzzy either. But I'm not looking to make friends with the staff - in fact, nothing makes me happier than entering a store where I'm not bothered/harassed by salespeople every time I turn around. The only reason this Children's Place does not earn four stars in my book is because it's a smaller store with less selection. Otherwise, it's a great store, and I would encourage you to shop there if you have young children. The clothes are adorable, and the prices are spectacular! P.S. - I usually look online at the items I want to buy first, then wait for a sale (which usually arrives every week, so not to worry if there isn't one when you visit). The best sales of the year are the Monster Sales, which happen in January and June/July. I usually stock up then, as shirts start at $2.99, and pants at about $4.99.

How fun to buy such non essential items. They have tons of darling dresses, socks and coats that are so cute and cunning. I love everything they have here.

It will be definitely worth the trip!
