Once Upon A Child

I’ve been in this store at least a dozen times. I’ve never been welcomed nor do they seem particularly interested in children.
It’s like the staff sucks on lemons…

The staff at this store is knowledgeable and fair. Because its a small store, it has a bit of a cramped feel and they are sometimes unable to take certain things because of inventory levels and lack of space. However, if you have really good quality items, they are more than fair. And if you take the time to search, you’ll find some amazing steals and deals!

Not a bad place to go get baby stuff but when I walked into the place it just felt extremely cluttered. They had tons of toys and clothes at decent price points, i also felt that the staff was friendly. Really the only downfall for my trip was that I felt like I had just walked in on a filming of the show hoarders.

This is not my favorite location. It is so cramped with overflow that you can hardly (if at all) walk through the aisles. I do it anyway, but I will not pay the ridiculous prices for new kids clothes that they hardly wear.
The staff is okay. Not friendly, but not rude. Checking out is a bit of a disaster usually though, because there are no room for lines to form and the cashiers hardly make an attempt to go in order.

Holy cow! It’s lie a massive garage sale with crap everywhere, packed so closely you can hardly get through… buuut…the selection and the prices are hard to beat, and the employees were super nice.

Babies are expensive. They’re wearing one set of clothes one week and the next week they’re onto a larger size already. You always hear this from people before you have kids and you sort of brush it off with a laugh but IT’S TRUE, PEOPLE.
I’m so glad OUAC exists. I’ve gotten a lot of my daughter’s toys there — the flashy, fancy toys that would be really expensive otherwise. I’ve also gotten some really nice clothes from brands I’d never be able to afford new, nor would I want to. Seriously, $ 40 for a dress at Gap? Something that she’s going to puke on, smear peas on, and wear maybe twice before she grows out of? No, $ 5 is more my speed. I picked up her Halloween costume that I was eyeing online for more than $ 40 for $ 4.50. Four dollars and fifty cents! My favorite finds were two vintage Little Golden Books (OMG Richard Scarry!) and a TMBG Here Come The ABCs DVD. Score! Who would sell that, anyway?
The one downside is that this particular store is small and very tightly packed. So don’t bring a giant stroller because you may get stuck and never come out. The staff is so, so, so friendly and helpful.
