Once Upon A Child – Baton Rouge

My favorite store hands down! I get all my daughter’s clothes there and they look brand new. Great clothing options, amazing prices, and super friendly employees!

I love going to Once Upon a Child. I always find such cute outfits for my girls. Makes shopping for 3 girls a bit more affordable

I found the best store to shop for children of all ages. From 1day old and up, all of the top brands at a price that is ¼ of the price you’ll pay at the department stores. And the staff is so friendly and helpful. And they also have toys, books, shoes, and stroller’s, just about every thing a baby need to make them comfortable. So go on over and check them out and I guarantee you’ll be back.

I have to say that I am a frequent customer of this store, although I have a love/​hate relationship with it. I love the idea that I can bring bins full of used clothes from my kids and get either cash or check on the spot. What I hate about it is the way it’s all set up. You never know what each of your items have been purchased for… only the total amount you will be receiving. Also, they routinely refuse to accept a good bit of stuff that’s brought to them, however if you walk the aisles it’s guaranteed you will find items most likely in the same condition as yours, or even a little more worn. I’m sure they will continue to get my business since they are one of the only places I know in this area that have this set up, however I’m pretty much always frustrated when I leave the building.

They buy stuff to resell. Also they are always good for finding little gems. They have tons of clothes with top name brands, swings, Pac and plays, toys and shoes.

My real issue is the preferential treatment they give to some people. I was standing in line to check out when a woman walked in off the street, a girl behind the counter saw her and greeted her (I’d been standing there 3 minutes and had yet to be greeted) She then asked if they could help her (again no one asked me) and she said she was there to pick up her stuff. Although I’d been standing there now 5 – 6 minutes, the woman pulled a girl from doing her task so she could cash out this lady. She got $ 50+ for her things and then wanted someone to go over with her why the other stuff wasnt taken. They went through the unsold items with her and then she left. Guess what, I still hadnt been helped. I got to stand there and watch her entire transaction though. So I guess if you know people that work there then you get better service, go figure.
Over all the store is clean and larger than some other OUAC’s I’ve been to. Some items are priced more toward the retail end than what is essentially used items. (Spider man mask that retails for $ 12.99 marked as $ 9.50 for instance) So it’s hit or miss but it depends on what people bring in.

The ultimate department store-​like children’s consignment! Tons of toys big and small, books, videos, clothing, cutesy tutus, bows, etc. all in excellent condition and sold at fantastic prices! Not to mention the staff was very friendly! I racked up for the grand opening and have been dying to return!
