Once Upon A Child

Took several brand name such as Janie and Jack, Under armour etc. clothes there several with tags. They bought a few and then said that they would take care of donating the rest. So I started going through what was left and it was all of the good name brand stuff that they tagged as spotted. They were wanting me to just leave it there so they could «donate» it to themselves and make 100 percent profit. We have bought several items there in the past and will continue to shop there. But if you ever sell to them you had better watch them.

I took a large box they went through it took what they wanted to resell I received a $ 43 store credit and bought some bigger sizes the clothes each piece sells from 2.50 –8 $ The store is clean good customer service some items are over priced

It’s very rare to find a consignment store that is organized. Some items are still a little pricey for a used item, but most of the items are in good used condition and the prices are reasonable when you take the time to compare your prices to others. This location has a small play area for your kids under 5 while you shop. You can find some really great deals here. And they have a frequent buyer/​shopper card. Ask any sales clerk. The sales they have vary, like any other department store, but it’s usually based off of a color and seasonal items. Before purchasing your brand new items that your baby will outgrow in less than 3 months, Check out this location first. They have a variety of toys, bouncy seats, strollers, high chairs, and especially your preemie clothes.

I’ve never sold here, so my review is shopping selection only. Although I’m sure their buy back is just like Platos closet, as they’re in the same chain family. In other words, you won’t get squat in return for your cute, barely used baby clothes.
What I like:
1. Military discount. Like 10 percent. Which helps even more if they’re having some sort of special of certain colored tags.
2. Pay attention to their signs. They will have certain colored tags at half off. I scored a bunch of 0 – 3 sleepers for next to nothing.
3. Great endless selection that always changes. Majority of clothing is in decent condition, but give it a thorough once over just in case.
4. They give you a stamp card. For every $ 10 in merchandise you buy or sell, 20 stamps gets you 15% off your next purchase. No exclusions on items.
5. You find brand new stuff in their still in package, or with tags attached for about half off.
What I didn’t like:
1. Some of their gently used name brand baby clothes are a little high. Like some Gymboree, Gap, and Old Navy running for $ 8.50-$ 11.50. Pretty sure that was the sale price in store, in brand new condition.
2. They will have 2 exact same items at different prices. Both is gently used condition (sign specifies this) but no reason as to one is priced higher than the other.
3. The place is small, cramped, leaving not very much shopping room for heavily pregnant women or other mothers trying to shove their strollers down the clothing aisles.
4. I understand the staff is young, but they need a little more education on what they buy from consumers. I almost bought this Ergo infant insert that was missing the adjustment and snap. That’s dangerous. And certainly not in gently used condition. It should’ve been thrown in the trash. Good thing I opened the packaging and inspected it first.
Just to review, inspect your baby clothes for stains in the lighting near the register. If you don’t think you can get it off with Baby Oxiclean, then put it back. Double check any toys, bouncers, swings, to make sure they work and all the parts are there. Lastly, check prices on your smartphone of the big items to make sure you’re getting a deal.

I love this place. LOVE. I’ve bought some amazing toys here, the best of which were a slide that retails for $ 50 for $ 14, and a Dora dollhouse and contents that retails for over $ 100 for $ 40. I found a nursing pillow there for super cheap. I bought my daughter’s ballet and tap shoes (used), as well as tights and leotard (new) for under $ 30. They have a great selection of cute hair accessories. You really can’t beat the value, plus I really like that these toys aren’t going in a landfill.
I don’t have any experience selling items here, and I find the clothing selection completely overwhelming so haven’t bought any used clothes here.

The organized chaos of Once Upon a Child is a beautiful thing. On my first visit to scope out changing tables, I found myself delightfully overwhelmed, even as I had to carefully maneuver around bouncers to get a better look at the bassinets and pack n plays.
I happened to be there during a clearance sale in which every piece of spring and summer clothing was either 50 cents or 50% off, and there is a ton of stuff. Woo hoo! I found several cute outfits in excellent condition. The regular prices varied from 1.50−10.00 dollars, so this was a sale I couldn’t pass up. Baby Girl is going to look so cute!
They also carry tons of strollers, play gyms, sippy cups, and nursing supplies. I asked about furniture, and the clerk said they don’t get that in quite as often as other gear.
If you need to let your toddler burn off some energy while you wait in line, there is a little play area with push cars to keep them entertained.
Oh, and one more thing: Tutus! Tons and tons of tutus!

The only reason I didn’t give this five stars is because I’ve never paid attention to the furniture. I’ve gotten my three year old several brand new looking items for at least half of what they’d cost at Gap, etc. Just last week I spent 40 dollars and walked away with a bag full of clothes, including three named brand sweaters and two dress pants and other items. I’d also like to add that they give a military discount, so on that note, I’m changing my review to five stars, because a military discount in a military town is hard to find, but always much appreciated.

selection is good, but for the quality you might as well be shopping at goodwill and get a much better deal. just as the last poster said, this place is way overpriced. Just walk next door to kmart and get a better deal. Ive even bought name brand clothes from TJ Maxx for cheaper than Once Upon A Child.

I would give this store 2 ½ stars. This store carries a great selection of new and used baby clothes, toys, maternity gear, and toys… their furniture is overpriced. A mini-​crib for $ 400? Ridiculous.
They don’t pay much for brand new clothes with tags. The strollers and high chairs are name-​brand, but like the furniture, overpriced. You may as well head on across the street to Babies R Us, or even shop online for better deals.
I have to admit that they carry really cute accessories, mostly seasonal items, such as sunglasses during the summer, or costumes during the Halloween holidays. It’s only times like these that I find myself shopping here.
You can usually find a few coupons for this store in the Clarksville Family magazine.
Don’t count on their staff being welcoming… some of them are just plain snotty and cold.
