Zoolikins

Love this place. Very helpful picking out my sling!

Stopped in today in search of the perfect baby carrier for my eleven month old son and I.
First, I have two older children who were offered juice or water. Being as though it is a billion degrees outside it was really sweet of them to hydrate my kids. :) They were then happy to sit and play in the little play area that was setup in the store.
Second, they had a large variety of baby carriers to choose from. I chose to look at Zoolikins because of the trusted brands and carrier types that they carry as they can not be found in the typical big baby stores.
The employee their was so incredibly helpful. At one point the owner stopped by with a limited print lillebaby carrier that actually matched my diaper bag (from pink lining). I was sold. They both went above and beyond to help me find just what I was looking for (and without any hint of pushiness).
In the end, I left with two carriers that I love and a crazy excellent customer service experience. I cannot wait to visit the store again.
One final note, after I left the store I was sure that the items I had just purchased could be found online for less. I was wrong. Same price or less. I highly recommend this store!

If you want to Cloth Diaper your baby, this should be your first stop. They offer free Cloth Diaper classes a few times a month that are VERY informative. The owner Shira teaches the class and it was so refreshing because she educated us about all the different ways you could diaper and did not try to sell us products the whole time. They also has other great products for Mom and baby. Besides diapering items, I have purchased a Baltic Amber Teething necklace, toys, and a herbal teething oil. Support local and stop here before going to those other big box baby stores.

All organic. Pro-​breastfeeding. Attachment parenting. Co-​sleeping. Baby wearing. Everything I am about with my little Bean. So wonderful to have them in the hood.
Love their FREE classes offered throughout the year!

I highly recommend Zoolikins if you are interested in cloth diapering and just need to see what it’s all about. I did a lot of research online when deciding to CD, but sometimes you just gotta see this stuff IRL. I brought the husband here so he could see that it wasn’t scary. The girls here are all really knowledgeable on CDing, so they are a great resource. I do feel like the advice they give on CD care is pretty typical (ie how to wash diapers), and you will definitely get different advice from me… and most other moms who CD.
If you don’t CD, Zoolikins is also a great resource as an intro to babywearing — I bought my Sakura Bloom ring sling here. They also have tons of cute toys and other baby gadgets/​toys. Zoolikins also carries some Earth Mama Angel Baby products.
The only thing that I didn’t like about Zoolikins is how they talked up their CD registry to me… and after I set one up (you have to do this in person, and then they add it online), I never actually got the email confirming my registry. So I never had a registry there!!! Eh.

Being a new parent is both the most wonderful thing in the world and the most stressful. You want to make sure they have the best, but some times that’s hard to do. One of the toughest choices is whether to use disposable diapers or cloth, both have their advantages and disadvantages. However if you chose cloth this is the place for you! They have a big selection of covers and diapers to choose from, including the wonderful baby Einstein cover! The customer service is superb and more than willing to walk you though picking out what is exactly right for you. Outside of cloth diapering they have everything from quality toys for your new baby to back support for the new parent. Its a great place and you should give it a try.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! After making a decision to use cloth diapers, we signed up for their (FREE!) cloth diapering 101 class! After an extremely informative class (lasted about 60 – 90 minutes) my husband and I felt like we had all the knowledge we needed to purchase our diapers. Everyone in the store is SO friendly and helpful, and we got every single thing we needed. I could not be more pleased with my experience, and we will FOR SURE be heading back in frequently to add to our diaper «stash» as baby gets a bit bigger. Their prices are extremely reasonable and you get to support a local business, who themselves support local businesses!

My husband and I have been out to this store from the west valley several times now and couldn’t say enough great things! Shira is absolutely fabulous, so knowledgeable and willing to spend any desired time necessary with you to show you features and give an in-​depth explanation. We went out the first time to try on baby carriers and heard her talking about cloth diapers with another customer. Not only did we buy the most amazing baby carrier (lillebaby) but we went back for the cloth diaper class, purchased cloth diapers and love them!
Every sales associate we have spent time talking to is very friendly and so passionate about helping parents find solutions to their problems. We really appreciate the time they have all spent with us and we love that we can support a local business instead of purchasing these items online. Thanks Shira for all of your help with cloth diapers and our baby carrier, we will definitely be back!!!

Zoolikins seems to be known as the cloth diaper resource locally, but I have to admit… I don’t use cloth diapers. (Please don’t hate me!) Sorry environment, but I love Pampers and Huggies.
Nonetheless, I learned about Zoolikins when baby #2 was born 6 months ago. We received an adorable gift from Zoolikins. I made a mental note to visit myself and did so recently… I cannot believe I hadn’t been in sooner as it’s so close to my house!
I was with my kids and mother-​in-​law when I visited and we went in on a mission to look at amber teething necklaces. Not only do they have a decent selection of real amber necklaces to choose from (I guess there are some fakes being sold elsewhere according to the woman that was working), but they have a ton of other unique items for kids as well.
While we ended up not purchasing a necklace (my son didn’t like them), we did buy some utensils for him, a bib for my daughter, and a cute Dr Seuss plate /​bowl set as well. If you are in need of products for your baby or toddler or on the hunt for a cute gift for someone else’s kid (s), Zoolikins is worth a visit indeed!

I have been to both their store in Scottsdale and even their new one in Chandler (I think it opened just this week!) and I am always impressed by their selection, friendly staff, and their commiment to parents. They really care about providing the best product and info to their parents who shop there. Absolutely LOVE this store!

This is an adorable little store! It offers a lot of the natural and innovative baby products that I have researched and bought online because I couldn’t find them in a store, but it would have been so nice to actually see it in a store! Everything in there is carefully selected; they only have nice and cute things! It is definitely a baby store, there isn’t much for toddlers or older kids, but I still liked tooling around here, and I found a baby gift for my friend. They also appear to offer classes!

I could not be more pleased with my experience (s) at Zoolikins. My husband and I decided a few weeks ago that we would convert to cloth diapering, but as a newbie, it can be very overwhelming as there are so many different brands and types of diapers. We didn’t know where to start. After attending the complimentary diapering class, we had a bit more direction and the knowledgeable staff was able to help us figure out what brands to try to best suit our needs. Fast forward a week and we found that we were having some leakage issues with one of the brands we tried. Upon contacting the owner, she said she would happily exchange them, no questions asked. In this day and age, it’s hard to find such wonderful customer service… particularly at a small «ma and pa» shop that still offers incredibly competitive pricing!

This is a great baby boutique store. The owner gave us a great demonstration of the cloth diapers and the baby carrier. I can’t wait to find out the sex and register at her store. I love always giving back to local boutiques.

I’ve been to Zoolikins a number of times to buy small things here and there for my nephew or for our upcoming addition to the family and have always enjoyed browsing around the store looking at all the fun products. Even if you aren’t looking for something in particular, you can always find something!
My husband and I finally made it in for the cloth diapering class last night and were impressed by not only the great number of options that were presented (we talked about prefolds, all in ones, pockets, one size, sized diapers — you name it!) but how helpful the owner was with helping us decide what was right for our needs and budget. I’ll repeat — they really seem to want to find out what will work best for you, rather than just trying to sell one particular thing over another. We wound up leaving with a stash of diapers that I think will be perfectly tailored that our needs.
I will say that we actually had been into Zoolikins to look at diapers another time and had a pretty lengthy discussion with another staff member about the types and choices for cloth diapers and they were super helpful as well — so if you aren’t able to make a class, you can get a «mini class» just by going into the store and asking for help. They also are really responsive via the Contact Us form on their webpage if you have any questions.
I also want to mention just how fair the prices are in the store. Of course, it isn’t Walmart pricing since you are getting well made, high quality items but the prices are all very close if not exactly the same as what you would find for the same items online or at other retailers. I always love shopping local but sometimes it is difficult to justify if there is a huge difference in price. That isn’t the case with Zoolikins. Every item I’ve price compared with other stores or websites, even Amazon, have been the same. Plus you don’t have to pay shipping and have the added bonus of getting to take it home right away (and of course get helpful advice too.)
Glad that we live just a few blocks away so it won’t be long before we are back!

Unfortunately, I was not wowed. We went in to browse and see some cloth diapers in person. The store did have an impressive assortment and for that the store gets two stars. Also, the owner walked up and began giving us an impromptu diapering class. Which is also nice and would have given this store a least another star, except that she dissed prefolds. I get that the All in One diapers and pockets, etc. are quick and convenient, but they are also pricey (and take forever to dry). I wanted to use prefolds and covers at first, but she told us that prefolds were hard to come by these days. Really? I can go online and find them in a jiffy (unbleached, organic, bamboo you name it). Maybe it’s just a stuffy Scottsdale thing, but I wasn’t really into it. There are a million cloth diaper sites online and just about a million reviews as well. It could have been a good thing Zoolikins…

Zoolikins is amazing! I had taken a cloth diapering class down in Tucson, where I live, and the woman teaching it mentioned she initially went to this store. We were taking a trip up to Phoenix for another reason and decided to check it out. Boy am I glad that I did! We were able to talk to not only one but two staff members about the variety of cloth diapers. Despite having just taken a class covering all this I had NO idea how many brands/​styles there were to this whole modern cloth diapering. But the sales associates were very down to earth explaining that it’s like different jeans and it’s really not as hard as it seems. Gone are the days of diaper pins and in are snappis (ask them about it — you will love it).
We ended up purchasing an infant starter pack that had water proof covers (3) and then pre-​folds to use inside. Oh word to the wise their website also rocks and you can skype into classes on cloth diapering, baby wearing, and swaddling! Again so thankful to these people and their amazing store.

I go here so often, you’d think I would have reviewed by now. Zoolikins is a wonderful little baby boutique store!
If you are looking for cloth diapering, baby carrying or other granola child rearing necessities – this is the place. You can touch and feel a variety of diapers, take a class to learn how to use, pick up diaper safe laundry detergent, or just browse the variety of natural products available. The prices are pretty comparable to anything else you will find online, with the bonus of skipping shipping/​delivery wait time. I love being able to preview my options and walk out the door same day with new «fluff». Staff are friendly and knowledgeable without being to «hover-​y» while you shop.
Definitely put this store on your rotation if you are expecting or looking for a unique baby gift.

Went into zoolikins for the first time today, and walked out extremely happy.
Yesterday I searched for cloth diapers at 3 targets and babies r us. Walked away disappointed. I went home to search the Internet and figured I would order online. Who knew there were so many options. I needed face to face customer service and with just as many options as shopping online and boy did I find what I was looking for.
There is a whole wall with cloth diapers, a nook with different wraps, slings and carriers, adorable clothes and helpful items for new moms.
Like a another person mentioned in their Unilocal,the women at this store work with their clients to make sure you don’t feel rushed or stupid. The young lady who helped me (and I’m assuming everyone who works at zoolikins,) is extremely knowledged about cloth diapers, and demonstrated a ring sling for me then encouraged me to try it with a baby doll filled with beans, so it felt very life like!
I absolutely love this store and look forward to going back for more.

We’ve been to Zoolikins several times now to buy our diaper detergent (we cloth diaper), and I love it more each time we visit. The women working are always friendly, and will go above and beyond to answer any questions I have. Even though we’re usually only popping in for a minute or two, I always enjoy it.
They have a wonderful selection of naturally-​geared baby stuff; slings, cloth diapers, teething remedies, feeding solutions, clothing, toys, etc. It’s a wonderful place for picking up gifts, or heading to if you have any questions about anything baby-​accessory related.
It’s a little far from us, and the parking can be atrocious as it’s in Old Town, but it’s definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area.

Super cute store with a surprisingly large assortment of Dr. Seuss themed children’s clothing. They also have a variety of new mom and baby products which makes it a great place to shop for a baby shower gift. They carry all the same brands as the other boutiques but their prices seem very reasonable (for Scottsdale).
