Carter’s Babies & Kids

Cute selection, well made, and very affordable! I’m happy to have a Carters so close by. Its way cheaper than buying their line at babies r us. They always have tons on their clearance racks as well, if you are looking for a deal!

Some clothes are pricey but when clothes are on sale and I have coupons I get good deals. They have such cute clothes for boys which in general is hard to find. I’ve never had bad customer service there! I love going to this store. Great location also.

2.5−3 stars overall.
A few employees are not very nice but a couple try to be helpful. I like their clothes and the quality. They have 50% off sometimes and offers like spend $ 50 receive $ 10 to be used later. Don’t forget to return to use it or lose it. Shoes you can probably find cheaper elsewhere. I usually buy bigger size in case of shrinkage or for longer wear. Despite the disappointing customer service, I have shopped here several times.

Carter’s has some cute clothes, better quality fabric (in general) than the generic store brands. For some reason, their clothing especially for baby girls is sized small. My 6 month old wears 12 month size. My nephew also wears 2T when he’s 18 months. So you should probably keep that in mind when buying and buy a size or two larger than baby’s actual age, unless you have a very small-​sized baby.
The cutest baby clothing seems to be for under 9 months in most stores, but Carter’s makes many of their styles also in 9, 12, 18, and 24 months, making it easier to find these sizes… bizarrely enough, they are difficult to get at department and thrift stores. You may have to go on their website to get exactly the outfit you want. I often find that this store is out of what I wanted, or doesn’t have the outfit I like in the size I need.
Do note that this store cannot accept returns that are Carter’s items from other stores. Every store around carries Carter’s brand, but each one calls it something different. At Target you get clothes stamped Carter’s Just One You. At Wal-​Mart it’s Carter’s Too Cute. At Macy’s it’s Just One Year. The stores do not carry the same items. If you need to return a gift, it requires some Google searching what you see on the tag! If in doubt, the ladies working at this store may be able to help figure out where you should go for your return.
If you can’t find what you like here, try the Carter’s selection at Toys/​Babies R Us, Target, Wal-​Mart, and Sears, I’ve found that they have a pretty good variety of Carter’s clothes. Babies R Us has the most dressy clothing, Target and Sears the most pajamas.
As far as Carter’s store prices… I find them irritating. Items are hideously marked up and then everything is advertised as «On Sale» for 20% off, 50% off, etc. If you grab a $ 20 shirt because it’s 50% OFF, TODAY ONLY, well, you’re still buying a baby shirt for $ 10 bro. The clearance items, just like at Target, are often still at average price, like $ 8 for a pajama suit. Do the math and see if you’re really getting a good deal before you buy! Print out coupons from the Carter’s website before you go to save a little more.
I hate the bland way this brand colors the girls’ clothing each year. Pastel pink, hot pink, neon pink, navy blue, aqua, mint, poppy, and white are their favorite colors this year and last. If you want a color that’s not one of those, good luck, Chuck. I like green, yellow, red, and purple on my munchkin, but you won’t find much of those here. I also often find that clothes I like on the website don’t look as cute in person.
