Best second hand children's clothing in town!…read more When I was pregnant with my first child, my mother and I went to EVERY single consignment and used baby/children's shop we could find in Edmonton (about 15 of them)... many of which are now closed due to poor quality. Once Upon A Child stood out leaps and bounds beyond the rest! Their standard for quality is great! They do not accept dated or stained clothing unlike many of the used and consignment chops in town! They have a stamp card that you get stamped for every $10 in purchases... after filling up the card you get 20% off your next purchase. They also carry some new items including Bumbos and Robeez shoes! They aren't a consignment store but rather a used store where you can sell your gently used children's clothing for store credit or cash. If you select store credit to be used the same day - you save the GST on your purchase! They carry toys, strollers, cribs, high chairs, books, DVDs, and clothing! They carry children's clothing up to size 7 or 8. However, I have found that used children's clothing 2T and under is usually of the best quality because wee ones often wear their clothing only a few times - especially one time only holiday dresses. Once the kids are toddlers and running amok and eating grown up foods and growing slower it makes more sense that the clothing would be more worn. For 2T and under... why pay new when you can get close to new at a fraction of the cost?!?

I've known about this store for a little while and had been meaning to go inside. I was impressed…read morewith the variety of merchandise they had available. The store was jam packed and well organized. You can find your basic baby essentials here. They have clothes for babies and mothers, nursing bras, breast pumps, baby carriers, nursing pillows, baby eating utensils, baby skin care products, toys and so much more! I found the prices comparable to other baby stores in the city. A couple weeks ago, I had my baby via C section. When I was discharged home, I wished I had gotten more disposable mesh underwear from the hospital. I can't wear my regular underwear due to my tender abdomen and the location of my surgical scar. In this store, I found a box of Frida high waist disposable post C section underwear. A box of 8 was a little over $30. The lady at the store said this underwear was a better quality than the ones given in the hospital. The underwear is made of good quality material, fits me perfectly and is so comfortable that it doesn't bother my incision at all. I'm a happy customer! I will be back to visit this store and I recommend other people to check it out. It's a great place to find some basics and maybe even some gifts for new parents. Give yourself some time to really check out the various items. There's some cool stuff here!

Bosom Babies is a cute store that sells adorable things for teeny-tiny babies. Everything in the…read morestore looks carefully selected, from baby blankets, clothes and shoes to toys, towels and bedding. The store is extremely small but houses many products which are a pleasure to browse though. The clothes and little shoes and socks are just adorable. The majority of bedding is bright and cheerful, and many sets are made of organic cotton. If you really want to spoil a baby, there are silk blankets for sale. Toys and accessories such as tiny toothbrushes, sippy cups and baby car seat covers are equally sweet. I am sure that any woman who shops here gets that warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

The store is laid out so nicely and everything is easy to see. So many cute things here!!! They are even doing fun events at this place every week. They just had their 2 year anniversary celebration and the Encanto princesses made an in-store appearance! They have giveaway draws sometimes when you purchase in store and they also have online shopping too if you prefer that method of shopping. Check out the photos of some of the cute things they have here. Definitely recommend checking this place out for your next baby shower for mom-to-be or even birthday gifts.

Literally walked right up to what I needed with no issue. Probably would have given a 5 if the staff on floor was a bit more engaging as I did walk by a couple.

Toys R Us is one of those stores you have to be really careful about when shopping there. You'd be…read morecrazy to go anywhere near it mid-December and on. (Don't do it!) But if you go earlier or any other time, it's not so bad. I stopped by today to see if they would have anything for my little brother, and now I'm officially done my Christmas shopping. Woohoo, pat on the back for me! I know, I'm nuts. It wasn't that busy today, probably also because I went around noon hour. They had a clearance table of toys first thing when I walked in, and I was so stoked to find some really good toys for $1. Great stocking stuffers! I ended up getting my brother a really cool Disney Wall-E robot toy (no, not from the clearance, silly). I can't wait til he opens it on Christmas -- maybe he'll even let me try it out. That's probably another reason why I love Toys R Us too -- I'm still totally a kid, and I can spend hours here, playing with and looking at kids' toys. They always have a huge section of family board games, and then another for science and educational toys, books, electronic games and dvd's, bikes and outdoor sports toys, and of course the baby section. You can pretty much split the store into two halves too -- boys and girls. The girls section has dolls and is literally this big pink area. It really looks like someone just threw a bunch of Pepto everywhere. The boys section on the other hand, is full of toy cars and action figures. Of course. When it's not so busy, the service is pretty good. It's not hard to find a staff member there and ask them a question. They also have those price-checking machine thingies, where you just stick the item under it and scan the barcode for the price. Very convenient, as many items don't have the price directly on them.
