Once Upon A Child

I enjoy shopping resale; fining great deals on like new items. If you come to shop here, have your ID on you, which of course you should if you are driving. Once I had actually left it at home, and after a rushed search of the 9 mo clothes, brought my selections to the register. I was turned away when I attempted to use a bank card, because I did not have my ID on me. I understand it could be for my own security against someone else using my card, but wow, extremely frustrating. Also, the last time I shopped here, I had a question, and so did another customer, but we couldn’t get the attention of the three employees because they were talking amongst themselves so much. I addressed them by interrupting their conversation… As I shopped, I could hear them constantly talking, about themselves. I have found some great things that I enjoyed not paying full price for. Sometimes though things are overpriced — stuff that has clearly been through the wringer — and even some of the items that are decent should probably be sold for half of what they are marked for. Lastly though, the prices are way better than Kid to Kid in the Woodlands.

This place has a large selection of clothes, and everything appears clean, organized, and well-​marked. The prices aren’t super-​low, but then again I’m extremely stingy when it comes to kids’ clothes (i.e. I don’t want to pay $ 8 for a secondhand outfit, I want to pay $ 2). But there is a large selection — I might come back here and look through the clothes if I was looking for something specific. The shoes are really disorganized — lots of shoes were in the bins for the wrong size, and they’re all crammed at the front of the store.
They have a LOT of secondhand books, which is nice, but again the prices are a bit high — at least $ 1.50 and on up, even for books that are pretty beat up. The toys section was the most disappointing — it reminded me of Goodwill, all the toys were just strewn haphazardly on a shelf at the back of the store, which made them look trashy and unappealing. There appeared to be a large selection of maternity clothes, but I didn’t look at the prices.
The location is handy right off I-​45, so I may go back.

I have mixed feelings about once upon a child. I really like the stroller I purchased from them and at extremely low price. I like the toys I have bought there and the jumper and the few outfits I have purchased there. I feel like I got some good deals. I will not ever take any of my well maintained name brand baby items or clothing to them again to sell. They gave me $ 16.50 for 7 name brand clothing items and a co sleeper that my baby slept in maybe four times and I paid $ 50 for. So as long as people keep bringing their quality stuff in and selling it for 2 cents on the dollar, I will go in and buy it. But I can’t sell them anymore of my stuff

Great deals on kids clothes! Everything is clean and I love the kiddie area where the kids can play while you shop. They also have a great selection of little girl’s hair bows. The staff are ok. what do you expect from young girls working in this area?

This place is awesome. My mother owns two daycare centers and my sister and I both have babies and this is our favorite resale shop in the north Houston area. The selection of clothes, shoes, toys, and baby stuff is not only enormous but very well organized and super easy to go through. Incredible prices!
I can only think of two negative things to say about this location:
1. The staff are definitely lacking in any kind of personality. Zero smiles. They all just look tired and like they don’t want to be there. Even when you ask them a question with a smile on your face they just don’t care enough to return the positivity.
2. They use these huge SUPER sticky price stickers on their toys that are impossible to come off clean and kind of ruins what would otherwise be a perfect toy.
Other than that, I love shopping here and never leave without a huge bag full of treasures.
