Yelp.com Review - by K. I.

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this place. A little pricier than Babies R Us? Maybe. But the personal attention you get makes it worth the extra cost, as far as I'm concerned. Even then, any markups are so negligible that...

3.0 of 5 stars. On their better days, find the coolest collections of baby gear around. Apparently some of the younger Yelping parents thought their items were overpriced, but are missing the point. Anything featured...

3.0 of 5 stars. Great array of products, but overpriced! There is about a 20% markup compared to Babies 'R Us or any other children's store.

I was so grateful for the one-on-one attention I got from the employees when I came in to shop for a stroller. They spent an hour with me explaining and demonstrating every stroller in the store!

Overall the store is great. The only problem was that we could not find what we were looking for. We wanted a britax marathon car seat in blue but they did not have it. So we had to purchase it online.

for a small shop they seem to stock most things that other larger stores don't have eg.stroller handle extensions. They also have a catalog for additional online shopping. I wish they were open longer hours.
