Bird in the Nest

I was surprised that there are few, if any, negative remarks about this place, but I must comment on the poor salesmanship and manners of the lady at the counter – perhaps she is new? Yesterday, my wife and I attempted to sell a Halloween costume and a mobil. They were in pretty good condition (our kid was born in May) and to be honest, we really just wanted to donate them as we did not expect much money, but we thought we would ask.
The lady had absolutely no interest in even listening to us. She was extremely dismissive and although not blatantly rude, her body language was arrogant. Mind you, I was wearing a sweatshirt and my wife some regular jeans – which may not be high end San Carlos style – but give me a break (and I apologize for going down to her level), you are a cashier at a used clothes store. There is nothing wrong with that job and its respectable, but you are not working at Neiman Marcus either.
I hope the owner realizes that the store is great, but there is a poorly educated woman with terrible manners working at the cashier.

Great store, extremely reasonable prices. Great place to sell gently used clothes and toys, too. I only wish I knew about it when I was pregnant! Highly recommend.

What do you do when you are pregnant, your old clothes are too tight but you are too cheap to buy a whole new outfit at a maternity store? Well, if you are lucky enough to discover Bird in a nest you shout out «Hallelujah!» and attack their maternity section with glee. I came here about once a month during my pregnancy when I felt like nothing fit and I was tired of my meager wardrobe. sometimes all it takes is just one new shirt or pair of pants to make you feel like a person again and not just a baby making machine. My favorite thing that I bought here was a long, light brown sleeveless dress for $ 10. I paired it with a nice scarf and wore to my baby shower. Now I have lots of gorgeous photos that remind me of what a great deal I got on that dress! I’m due in a month and when that time comes I will start focusing on all those great things they have for wee ones. Stay tuned!

Adorable shop in the easy to park area of downtown San Carlos. Super cute inside with normal bedroom furniture serving as the clothing displays, which is quite pretty. Prepare to spend some time looking as there is a lot of inventory. We hit the $ 1 clearance rack and got some very cute things. Will be back for more once baby girl comes!

I have been here more times than I can count. I love this store, the owner, the merchandise she selects, the music, the affordable pricing, the great quality and condition of items both new and used, the kiddie play area in the store and even the well stocked changing area in the bathroom. On two occasions I brought bags of clothes and items including toys and a brand new umbrella stroller in to consign. I prefer the store credit and will always redeem such credit that same day! You should call or FB msg them to book an appointment to consign (especially if you have baby gear as it takes up space) and they will note what season and or items they are accepting so that you don’t bring the entire closet and kitchen sink!

A great small store packed with a well-​curated selection of new and used clothing and toys for the 6 and under crowd (and pregnant moms-​to-​be). I am sure I was only able to see half of what’s in there and I’ll definitely go back as soon as my daughter grows an inch! Prices are reasonable too, considering the items are good quality and in very good condition.
The play area for kids is awesome and safe, and there is a restroom with a change table. What else can a parent ask for?

Dropped in to check it out and it was a very cute store with a nice selection. Everything looked to be in good shape. Not a big store but good for toys and clothes.

I haven’t actually consigned anything here so I can’t comment on that part of the business but I was so excited to discover it when I was pregnant. Who wants to spend a bunch of money on clothes that you’re only going to wear for a couple of months? Once the little guy arrived, I’ve been in to buy a few things here and there. Huge selection of clothes in good condition at great prices. Locally owned, eco friendly shopping!

great place to buy or trade! You don’t get that much if you sell but that is understandable all things considered. It is nice to have a local shop with great pricing an products.

Pretty cool place. I venture here last week and found some cool stuff. Lots of cool toys (Melissa and Doug) I would say high end kids stuff however you can find good deals. I found a LandEnds toddler shoes for Hmm $ 8/​$ 9 and some wall décor for $ 5 or $ 6. Which isn’t bad consider it was all in excellent condition.

Wow — a true hidden gem! After finding this place on google maps while looking for a different shoe store, we figured we’d stop in to see if — by chance — they had a pair of shoes in our toddler’s size. 45 minutes later, we left fully laden with every item from our next 6 months of wish lists, all at a fraction of the cost of new — shoes, backpack, changing items, and some unique art by a local artist that we intend to hang in our little guy’s room.

This place is fabulous! I have bought, sold and browsed this place. Excellent new hip items at an affordable price. The owner is so sweet and love that it is run by moms. One of my favorite places to shop and sell. Do yourself a favor and support this adorable business. Here is a birds eye view of the place (no pun intended) if you don’t take a bag she gives you a little punch out of a bird and as you walk ou there is a few little bird houses that you can drop your bird (which is worth I think 5 cents) in to donate to a specific foundation. That is brilliant and love me a good act of service. Wish I lived on the peninsula to be able to visit more.

This is a great little store. Clothes are clean, well organised and very nice and range from newborn to 6y. Prices seem very reasonable. They also have some baby gear, like swings, carriers, and some new things. Nice selection of maternity clothing too. It was recommended to me by several people and I’m glad I went. It’ll be my first stop now for baby stuff. Also a great place to buy useful gifts for new parents.

This is one of my favorite places, period. The quality of everything in the is store, is superb. It is so quaint, clean, darling, affordable and they have SUCH great clothes. Very high end, very contemporary items. I love coming here and am telling so many soon to be moms and new moms about this place. I swear, I will never pay full price again!

Love this sweet little boutique! San Carlos was really in need of a children’s resale shop, so I was glad to see this open. They have become part of my new routine with updating my kids clothing, taking in what my youngest outgrows and trading it in for credit on the new size my older child needs. The selection is a little tight, but she’s working on finding ways to fit more rack space. She keeps it to good quality and condition pre-​loved clothing and I can generally always find enough that I’d like to purchase use up my trade-​in value on the clothing I have to sell. I hope their business continues to do well!

This is my new favorite baby store. Is a small cozy store. It has a little bit of everything. And my favorite part of the store is the kids play area. I only been there 3 times and I don’t worry when my little one wonders off. Because I know where she’s at.
They have a section where is all new items. And all the used is on a separate area.
It’s so easy so find the size your looking for. Everything has labels and are marked.
Everything is well organize.
Good prices as well!
I can say I will return. I’m glad I found this place.
Keep up the great work!!! I will tell my other mommy friends for sure!!!
Check it out!!!

FINALLY! A second hand/​consignment store for baby/​kids clothes near us here in the middle of the Bay Area. They have bedding, strollers, toys, and wonderful clothes for a great price (new and «pre-​loved»). The lady working there was extremely helpful and nice. The toy area is perfect, and my son was really happy. He is one and wants to touch everything, and she was so nice about the mess he made. They opened in September, I wish I had known!
My poor poor husband, I better not tell him that I’ve found this place.
I have not yet sold something through them, and will review that separately.

I’m a fan! Good prices, quality selection. Good name brands and also high end brands all in perfect condition. I thought there was a decent amount considering the small space, but hopefully she will expand!
The owner seems really sweet, and was helpful. Love that there is a play area for little ones.
I came in from the Coastside looking for a good resale place, and thought this place was worth the drive. I will be back!

Super cute store, has a very nice boutique-​y feel. For a consignment store, they actually don’t have that large of a selection of clothing to choose from, mainly because they eat up a lot of their limited space with a play/​coloring station for kids and some new boxed items in front. But the stuff that they did have were all great quality items and very reasonably priced. I was able to to snag some PJs for $ 2.99 and like new Crocs for $ 8.99 — prices comparable to Ebay or Craigslist. I haven’t tried selling with them yet, but from what I understand it’s 50% trade-​in value towards items in the store or 30% cash (could be wrong, double check). There aren’t many baby consignment stores in the area, so this is a great addition to the peninsula.

Love this new little shop! Great organization of the pre-​loved clothes for both kiddies and pregos. They also had a nice selection of used kids products including a designer sit and stand stroller on the floor for sale. I was surprised to find an excellent selection of Melissa and Doug products, our favorite! A great stop to buy gifts locally, they also had an adorable selection of cards.
