At Three Littles, they let you load up a stroller with a weighted inert baby and push it around outside to get the feel of it. This has exceptional value: 1. I have never pushed a stroller before 2. The price of a stroller range from a minor purchase to exceeding one thousand of dollars... what do you get for your money?? You'll never figure this out by looking at them online or reading. You have to push it around a bit. ChatGPT will tell me? Nope. You have to try it out. 3. How do you collapse these things? Or extract out the detachable bassinet? Or put the second bassinet in there? They do not let you do this at Target or any other store we've been to. There was staff giving impromptu lectures on how they work, can they be carried onto a plane, do you have to gate check them, anything you'd want to know. Frankly, I have no idea how you'd make this purchase otherwise. Sure, maybe you're a baby-strolling veteran, and know all the latest, but I didn't. Same thing with car seats. Some swivel out and make it easy to extract your child. Others let you pop the bassinet out of the car seat and put it right on the stroller... but not all of them... and not all brands mix and match. I'm telling you... as a soon-to-be first-time dad, I left there so much more knowledgeable about how to approach this problem. I learned pitfalls, preferences, and, most importantly, what it feels like behind the wheel of a baby-moving contraption that seems on par with the Mars rover. read more

OMG- I pleasantly astonished to learn that there is a store in the US with this kind of top-notch customer service. Stroller specifications and differences are known to a one, and the staff can find the one that fits your needs. So many baby "needs" are there to touch and feel. Perhaps the best customer experience I have ever had in a store. Love this place. read more

I had a quick stop because i wanted to grab some gifts for my youngest's 2nd birthday. They were running sale and I found perfect gifts for great deal. It was packed the day but was able to enjoy the quick shopping. My son loved all three gifts I got from there too. :) Thank you! read more

Just visited their beautiful new location behind Union Market and it is so spacious and full of light! Elizabeth gave me great suggestions for my friends' kiddos. Everything in the shop is so unique - toys, clothes, and kid gifts you'd never find anywhere else in DC. And should I ever need a stroller or car seat, this is where I'm headed! read more

It hard not to buy everything in this store and I don't even have a kid yet!!! Adorable!

Extremely good service and super well sorted store. We are having our first child and were treated with amazing service. We bought a stroller and a carseat. There was a small hickup with our order and the owner really went out of her way and beyond to make sure we were happy. Can not recommend this place enough! read more

Need to update description , offerings. Very limited offerings, except for strollers. Friendly staff. But SO disappointing given hype.

Three Littles is such a uniquely wonderful shop for babies and children! The owner, Elizabeth, is knowledgeable about everything you would ever need for a baby or young child, and will even patiently help you demo strollers and car seats in the store! The quality of all the clothing and toys is top-notch yet affordable. Three Littles is easily one of the best places for parents to shop with or without the kiddos! read more

I've been a customer of Three Littles since they first opened in Union Market, so this review is crazy overdue! First - I can't tell you how much joy this shop brings to DC. The family photo events, the crafts for kiddos, the reptile event! Not to mention the highly coveted uppababy stroller tuneups. Truly a place that is all about contributing to the community. Second - the toys etc that 3L sells are awesome. Not sure how Elizabeth, the owner, curates such a fun selection, but I have found original and beloved gifts for children aged babies to elementary school. She has toys available at all price points. My son loves the candy lab cars, the little wooden hotel, and the wooden golf set! He's eyeing the loog guitar for Christmas! Third - Elizabeth is such a special person. Boundlessly kind, here's a small sample of things she done for my family since we became customers: Delivered things to my house during Covid when I had a newborn! Answered all my questions and requests on instagram, like instantly! Wrote me a personal note on a lovely card when I had a health issue (which was unbelievably touching)! She's absolutely the best. Go shop at this magical little store! read more

AESTHETICS. If primary colors and plastic toys are not your thing than look no further than Three Littles DC! This mama powered shop is one of the few places in the District to purchase a well-curated collection of baby toys, books, and care items that won't make your eyes twitch. I am currently eyeing a mini bamboo shopping cart and Montessori inspired wooden calendar which is quite pricey...but now that I'm going to have two kids, it's basically half the price. It's practically an heirloom item! Actually that is what I tell myself whenever I walk in and I'm sure you'll have the same thoughts too because everything is just so darn beautiful. If you are looking for a gift for a special person in your life, this is the place! read more

Elizabeth is amazing. Not only was she unbelievably helpful when we were making selections in the store, but she SAVED THE DAY for us after another vendor lost our car seat order. Elizabeth personally ensured we got a rush order and came all the way to our home to install it & teach us how to install it since we were getting close to d-day. Unbelievable level of customer service (on top of her wisdom and friendliness too!). We are super grateful. read more

My wife went in here to look at strollers and the owner was very knowledgeable and had a well-curated selection.

I cannot express how much I love this store. I started shopping here a few years ago as my friends were having babies and always found the most unique gifts. Now I'm having a little of my own and so excited to have more excuses to shop here. Elizabeth has been beyond helpful as I prepare. I came into the shop a few weeks ago on a busy weekend. I was so overwhelmed with strollers and research. I told her my requirements and she instantly knew the perfect stroller for me. We love it! This is just one example of how wonderful the shop is. This neighborhood is so lucky to have three littles read more

Sustainable toys, clothing, and goods at many different price points makes it a no-brainer that Three Littles is the only place I go to for baby and kid gifts. How many other toy shops little the Littles actually place with the toys being sold?! I'm always treated like a valued customer whether it's interacting with Elizabeth for an online purchase or receiving a warm welcome by one of her staff when I enter the shop. read more

Three Littles consistently goes above and beyond in service and quality! Not a parent, but I have lots of littles in my life, and this place literally has everything for every age group. It's also got a wide range in price point, so you don't HAVE to spend a ton of money (but do i because im a sucker and want to be the cool aunt? yes. i do.) their entire entire staff is very knowledgeable and operate with so much intentionality to build authentic community read more

Perfect store for grands to spoil their bundles of joy. Elizabeth is kind, knowledgeable, and will allow you to indulge in your excitement over your new baby without a hint of impatience. Her products for sale are unique, high quality, and reasonably priced. The shop is bright, clean, and pleasant to peruse. I highly recommend it for next shower gift, or just to pick up a little something special for the ones you love. read more

I have been coming to Three Littles for the last few years, and it isn't because it's the only store that has things for babies. It is because the owner, Elizabeth, is a wonderful member of the DC community and truly cares about her shop and all the families who come in. She always helps me find the cutest gifts, chats with me about my son, and lets me pet her dog Monkey. It isn't easy owning a small business, but Elizabeth is doing a fantastic job. I would recommend Three Littles to anyone who is looking for unique gifts, or a great stroller, or just a sense of community (or all three). read more

I posted a review (see image) more than a year ago, based on my experiences at the time with my online orders. Today, nearly 20 months after my last online order was placed, I received a notification that a comment had been added to my review. The comment suggests I left out context. I went to reach out to the business via Instagram (as that is how I'd previously communicated with the shop when discussing an order) hoping to explain that my review was more than a year old and clarify anything they believed I'd tried to withhold, but sometime in the past year they blocked me. (Image also included). I'm disappointed that they felt a review warranted that type of action. I'd like to address that the response to the review states I was refunded, and that is absolutely true. I was refunded for the incorrect towel that was eventually delivered. However, at the time my review was posted, it had not been refunded, so it was not intentionally excluded. I would never try to mislead potential customers by leaving out details of an issue. While I recognize it would have been helpful for me to come back and update the review to state I was refunded, we welcomed our first child shortly after, and my priorities at the time were diverted. I am not able to contact the business directly due to being blocked, but I do hope to convey that this was not intentional either. As my initial review states, they have beautiful products, and I stand by that! I certainly didn't leave a review stating "never go here" or "spend your money elsewhere" or anything else irrational or derogatory. Conversely, my review actually recommended that customers visit the store. My personal experience with online orders wasn't as positive as expected, but I don't think people should be discouraged from experiencing their shop or purchasing their lovely items. read more

I was looking for a travel stroller and they happened to have the top 3 on my list in store for me to try (uppababy, Nuna, and babyzen yoyo). Katie was SO kind and helpful both on the phone and in store. Customer service is top notch! The shop is adorable and I can't wait to go back to shop for gifts and more in the future. I got a travel stroller I love (uppababy) and highly recommend anyone in the area check out Three Littles for your baby needs! read more

I was in dire need for an extra stroller for my new baby( maybe not dire lol) I already own a UppaBaby Vista.Not only do they allow you to order an pick up in store, the owner happens to be my neighbor, so she brought my order to me because it was a delay in shipment. I can't wait to go in store and shop for some things. Owner is very sweet and helpful. read more

Adorable shop. This is my favorite destination when I need a birthday present for a little person but I don't know what to get!

A great place to get gifts for newborns and toddlers. Very good selection and above average service, including little things like placing a barcode sticker over the price tag so the gift recipient can return the item, but won't know how much you spent if they don't. Only downside is that finding a parking spot at Union Mkt can be tough. read more

Amazing children's store with high quality products. Great for gifting or buying your next family stroller. Appreciate the thoughtful advice from store staff - such a gem! read more

Amazing selection of goods for babies and kids and incredible customer service. Highly recommend this gem of a shop!

Wonderful store, exceptional store, and super high quality items. I have purchased items in store and to be shipped to a recipient as a gift and both times I received great help in found perfect gifts. Even though the store is out of my way, I make an effort to buy from it since the owner works so hard to find great kids items and create such a positive community. It's the best!!! read more

Can't recommend Three Littles enough. The owner Elizabeth and her staff are incredible and treat each and every customer as if they've known them for years. They are great about recommending products and gifts that are age-appropriate and help you get the most bang for your buck at every cost point. read more

Absolutely amazing shop. Beautifully curated and the employees are exceptional. My three year old constantly talks about the owner as "Ms. Elizabeth, my best friend!" read more

I really can't say enough good things about Three Littles! I don't have kids so I always count on Three Littles to point me in the right direction when I'm buying gifts for little ones. The owner Elizabeth is amazing and always helps me to curate the most perfect items for baby showers, holidays and other special occasions whether in store, via email or over chat on Instagram. Three Littles also frequently ships to my family out of state which is beyond convenient and the gifts are ALWAYS a hit. We could not possibly ask for a more perfectly curated baby and kids store in DC. read more

This store is an amazing stop for high quality, quirky, fun, interesting, educational, you name it baby, toddler, parent items. From their adorable high quality toys to their thoughtfully curated books, their small accessories to outfits, they really have it all. This is the kind of place you can expect to find something you can't find anywhere else but that would be loved and used for years to come. We have our teethers and bibs from when my child was a baby, books that have lasted for over a year that are still a house favorite, and assorted other fun toys that I haven't seen anywhere else. Highly recommend! read more

Went in looking for sustainably sourced clothing for my adopted little ones on a recommendation from a friend. Was shocked to find only pretentious, pseudo-sustainable fare. If you are looking for a place to waste your money on overpriced bobbles - this place is perfect! read more

I purchased these bibs as a gift. The quality was great and I loved the neutral color options. Online ordering for in store pick up was also easy. read more

Truly the best children's store in the area. Wonderfully curated with interesting finds for a variety of ages (adults, too!) and at a variety of price points. A refreshing departure from big box plastic kids toys -- everything in the store is beautiful and sustainable and the owner and staff are so friendly and knowledgeable! read more

My go-to store for all things baby and toddler. The owner is a precious gem of a human and has helped me pick out gifts on more than one occasion. The shop is so thoughtfully and consciously curated so I know I'm buying responsibly sourced gifts. Highly highly recommend for all your baby & kiddo needs. read more

There are too many amazing things to say about Three Littles and the owner, Elizabeth, on this review so I will highlight my favorite part of shopping here. I love that I can message Elizabeth with who I am shopping for and my budget and she will pull together the best mix of goodies for me. She truly works so intentionally to make sure there is something for every budget and her store creates such a positive impact in our community. read more

The location is convenient , shop is in Union Market. Good selection of baby and children's toys , books and accessories . Have gotten a few things here for friends kids and they're always helpful when needing assistance on selecting a gift . The owner even opened the store for me one time last second when I needed to get a gift for a friend on my way out of town . Definitely worth checking out if your in the market for children's gifts. read more
