Carter’s Babies & Kids

New first time mom can go bonkers in here! We got a ton of clothes from our baby shower prior to the birth of our baby boy. We «thought» we were all set, but life throws you curve balls and doctors decide that our baby boy needs to come to this world 3 weeks early. Surprisingly, we had no «newborn» size clothes and of course no preemie size. We got by from family and friends who scoured the county for preemie size cute wear, but my husband said with the cooler weather temps, we really need to get some more pants. I told him that I saw a Carter’s nearby. I think my husband regrets taking me. 15 minutes inside with a friendly staff, bright lighting, organized piles and major Christmas sale markdowns, our «pants» buying trip turned into well over $ 100 in spending which may not seem much but with the markdowns … we ended up with a pretty sizeable bag walking out. My husband says, «this is one of these stores where you should only be allowed to visit once a year …» I think I’ll send my parents here on my behalf :)

Absolutely disrespected. Came in and was looking for uniforms but whoever she was automatically dismissed me and said «no. We don’t do uniforms. Target does that.» I mean I know customer service at least decent ones to say the least, but it was rude and I had no clue what she was insinuating. Would never ever go back.

I’ve been shopping here since it opened in 2011 and am always greeted by friendly & knowledgeable staff, the store is always very clean & neat. Also love I’ve gotten to know the manager Marina she’s always remembers me and tells the great deals going on my boys are almost out growing this store but I always have babies to shop for, and I will be a returning customer thank you for the great service…

I have been shopping at this Carter’s since they first opened. I used to go to the Irvine store until I found this store! It is always very we’ll organized and the managers Marina and Andrea are amazing!

I have been shopping at Carters in Costa Mesa for about a year and i have always had the best experiences at this store thanks to Tori! She is so friendly and welcoming and is always smiling. She is a wealth of knowledge as to what’s in the store and is willing to go above and beyond every time to ensure that we find exactly what we are looking for! We use coupons and are always looking for ways to save. She is very patient with us and helps us get the most for our money. As a new mom this is HUGE! Because of Tori I will continue to return to Carter’s over and over again. Thanks Tori!

I do a lot of my baby clothes shopping (not for me, for friends!) at this particular Carter’s and I’m a fan of their prices. Not only are their clothes really cute, there always seems to be a sale whenever I’m there! I usually walk out with one full outfit, be it a dress with tights or a t-​shirt with a pair of shorts or pants, and at least one toy and the total is about $ 20-​$ 25. Obviously I stick to the clearance racks and sale items. Pretty affordable if you ask me.
Be sure to check out their center tables for cutesy shirts with sayings like «Awesome Like My Dad» or «I’m Cute, Mom’s Cute, Dad’s Lucky.» Adorable!
Another reason why I prefer Carter’s over Babie’s R Us? I don’t get overwhelmed with the selection, merchandise, and the amount of crying babies in one store.
Parking can be sorta tricky even though it’s a large lot. Carter’s is in a well-​stocked shopping plaza after all.

When your friends have sex, this a place for you to shop in the aftermath. Basically cute clothes for their 2.0, some gender specific and some gender neutral. Wait for sales and coupons. Staff was friendly and helpful. Was looking for plain onesies for potential ideas but they only had the plain white ones.
