If you are looking for good quality used kids clothes - look no further!










Love this place Always find what i need at a cheap price





To picky





Great place to get toddler clothes on the cheap.










Good prices on most clothes





My go to for kids clothing










Big store with a wide variety of items










Organized well. Prices are fantastic. Selection is good. Customer Service is good.





Great place to shop for your kids before ordering online or buying new. Also a great place to bring back old clothes and toys and get paid!





Best second had store in town





Great spot for gentley used baby clothes to Jr Elementaru school kids. Also have puzzles,games, toys and books.




















Great place to buy kids clothes on the cheap





Very neat store





Great business, with lots of previously loved children's apparel, toys, books, etc. Clothing for every occasion, season, style! Some things can be overly priced for being secondhand, but mostly everything is in decent condition, and you can get some really good deals as well. The store is relatively large, and very well organized. Carts available for your convenience too! Good place to find some really cute clothing that has been discontinued in stores!










Great place for slightly used baby stuff. Great prices!!





Great second hand store to find children's clothing. Largest selection in Barrie. Will pay very low price for your hand me downs. Not worth it in some cases.

























Great price and a decent selection of clothes and toys.





Don’t bother wasting your time trying to consign your gently used baby clothes here. I only ever bring like new pieces to the store to sell and walk out with 90% of the stuff I brought in. Super confusing considering their selection isn’t the greatest to begin with. What irritates me more is getting clothes back that were brought in as sets and only getting one or two of the pieces back.





It's a pretty good place to buy. Most clothing and toys are decently priced but sometimes I come across an item that's overpriced. I have a 2 year old so I'm there pretty much every couple weeks

























Affordable good quality used children's clothing. I honestly don't understand why you would shop for children's clothing new.





My favourite second-hand store for kids! Clean and orderly with good selection.















Very good selection of stuff to buy, everytime I try to sell here I get offered only between 9-13$ so selling your baby items is very difficult. They did not know how to work a simple functioning scale.





Lots of selection and tons of stuff for all ages. Would give 5 stars except the place is way too small for the volume of stuff they have. Good luck shopping easily if you have a stroller. They have taken some of our stuff we've tried to sell but only maybe half of it. It's definitely a go to place for when we are looking for something specific. Usually able to find it. Not great for things like car seats or larger items as they usually don't have them






























I love shopping here for our gently used items but I really miss our loyalty program where I would get stamps and then 20% off my purchase... I used to use it Faithfully!





A great little place










Good deals but very small location. Hard to navigate when busy.





Great prices, great staff





Gently used kids stuff















A great place to find a deal for your kids...










can usually find some great gently used clothes for my daughter





I love shopping here! I almost always find what I need/want when I go in. There are tons of choices for children of all sizes and the staff are very friendly.










Great store. Good low prices to shop on a budget!










Absolutely love this place! Clean clothes clean toys helpful friendly staff! Great prices too! Always helpful staff





Amazing store very organized and clean!




















This was the most well organized children's second hand store I have ever been to. Seriously the shoes are organized into bins by type AND size! Above average selection too.















Organized and neat, helped me exchange a bunch of stuff without a problem.





Great little store. Tons for the kids, not just clothes but toys, cribs, strollers. My kids ruin everything in minutes. Having 3 kids it just makes it so much more cost effective. Alot of stuff still has the tags on them and are brand new. Save money like crazy.










Did not have what I was looking for.















A regular stop for me and my daughter, love the opportunity to add preloved clothing to her wardrobe as a sustainable option, demanding less new items from the earth and less money form the wallet - it’s a win win for everyone! I also love the personal shopper option. Not sure if this is just through covid, but I’ve been able to send an email with a list of clothing I’m interested in and a shopper will send back photos of lots of clothing I can choose from and then simply pick up curbside later. An amazing option as shopping in store with a baby can be hit or miss lol










Good used clothes at fair prices.





Great prices and quality children's clothing





Fair selection and good prices





Great place to get good used clothing for kids, great prices and friendly staff.




















I always find amazing deals here. I don’t know why anyone would ever by kids clothes brand new. These clothes are like new.










Great place to buy gently used baby and children clothing and accessories. Has baby strollers and equipment new and gently used.










Stop in here from time to time my two children age 6 and 3 love the toys area plenty of clothing selection there.I would like to see some kind of shopper rewards or discount system. Prices are pretty reasonable





Glad this place is around. Saved me tons on kids clothes





Great place for gently used items, especially those that may be expensive new





Price, variety and quality is excellent





Great selections! Always find good shoes for my boys????





They have everything you can think of for babies and children. Very well organize and the staff was great





Huge selection, clean items, super cheap.





This is my fav place to go for kids clothing.




















They take a while to look through your clothes (usually about a day), so be ready to leave the stuff you're selling and to come back again when they call.










I was force against my will.....




















Friendly staff, low prices. Have a baby coming so I will be spending enough time here.










Great selection. Fairly priced. Friendly and understanding staff.















Staff were miserable. Items over priced for their conditions. Store is cramped and there is no way to make a line at the till. I stood where I thought was the line with the 2 items I managed to find only to have ppl start cutting in front of me. When I spoke up the staff did nothing. I ended up leaving my items. Not impressed at all.





Amazing place, great prices and very helpful staff!!!















Very friendly and a large selection of children's goods. Reasonable prices for anything you're selling as well.





Really impressed with this place. Very well organized and everything is clean.










The best place to go for anything for your kids and babies, from new born to age 16! The have TONS of clothes and they don't try to hike up the prices, but keep them at a good price! The staff are helpful and the whole store and all the products are kept clean! Seriously, go HERE for to get all your kids stuff, especially clothes!















Great prices, great selection, friendly staff, and organized!





Good price for used toys. Worth it.





Great place for finding discount items for your kids 100% recommend visiting





Great selection of kids clothing at very reasonable used prices.










Who doesn't like stuff for less than half price??? BOOOOOOOOM





Amazing prices





Great selection and prices every time. We have 5 kids oldest being 10 and shop here for almost all our clothing.















One of the best...most organized of all the ones I have visited...





Clean and well organized





Nice collection and awesome staff.










Amazing store!





I like this place





Great place to find anything for the kido's I would recommend to anyone from clothes to toys to safety stuff car seats strollers you name it.





Friendly staff










A good selection of gently used kids Clothing, toys, books, and other items for babies.





Nice little store. Sometimes you find some great used stuff. But some times things seem to be way over priced for something used. Its hit or miss. Store is usually over crowded with merchandise.















There's some good stuff in there










Looking for new things for the children yet at the same time surrounded of things for the children fix both problems in one place. Share the unused items weather outgrown I just never used allowing it to contribute to your new purchases. The staff are friendly and willing to help answer any questions you may have even some of the customers like to Pitchin because while being in the store it’s more like being in a little family everybody’s helping each other everybody’s looking for things for their family and with everybody having a special common connection and allows the shopping experience to be much more pleasurable for everyone The store is kept clean and the stuff is always in good condition ????????










Love this place for bb clothes! I refuse to pay full price for baby stuff that my 1yo girl will inevitably stain, mangle or mame in some way. This place has such a great selection of name brand and on trend stuff, and they always stay ahead of the seasons which makes it super easy to bulk buy for months ahead. So organized and staff is friendly.





Prices are way too high for used items. Most just simple brands that are on sale very cheap in the actual store





Stocked up on a bunch of brand name baby shoes! All in excellent condition! It was looking really nice in there too. Not as cluttered as usual. Just love this place! ????????





Good variety of item,great deals. I like this place :)





Amazing selection of items for infants and children of all ages at great prices. I'll be shopping here for as much of my son's clothes and other items as possible!





Watch prices, some items are more expensive here than at Walmart for some items.





Always a great place to find great deals






























I've sold and bought baby items here. Every experience I've had here has been a good one. Cheap prices, diligent quality checking of items, and very nice people :)





Amazing spot to buy clothes for babies and toddlers!













































Great variety of items. Great to buy and sell with. Excellent staff










Awesome place

























A great selection of gently used clothes and toys for kids.










My go-to for kids clothing. Excellent selection and clean!!!





I'm sure it's a great place to shop however their customer service is poor. The employee I spoke with over the phone didn't bother to mention that you have to call in the day of to see if they're buying that day. All they said was there wouldn't be an issue so I drove a fair distance to be turned away.










Nice items at low prices for kids





They never take any of my things are they are brand new clothes. Staff are stuck up and rude










AVOIDING THIS LOCATION Rude employees, limited selection, unimpressive discounts on many items. SHOPPING - Very limited (for clothing). - Newmarket location has more selection (for clothing), better customer service, and better pricing (Newmarket has a MAMA club with perks and specials - Barrie does not). - The one star they do get is for the selection of additional goods like sunglasses, laundry stain remover, mattresses, etc (many sold at retail pricing or just below though). - Many used items are very close to brand new retail pricing. You will find WAY better prices on FB Marketplace / Varage Sale with ALL the money actually going to moms and families. SELLING - DONT BOTHER - Payment is terrible - They reject many items (even ones that you got from them and never used.. not sure how that works...). Oh, and what they don't buy, they just toss back in your bin - no folding despite you carefully folding items for them. - Long wait (over an hour and a half - even though I was told 15-60 minutes) - Customer service is horrible - employees are rude and have zero respect for mamas with busy lives and babies in the car. Next time I will just regift unused items and donate the rest to families in need.










Highly recommend.





Friendly staff, fairly priced kids items.





5 star





This place misses out on many great items. With a child that doesn’t like most fabrics or wears something once and it’s too itchy everything is in perfect condition. They pass on items new with tags just bought. Only reason we are selling them is because we can’t return things right now. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Totally not worth your time.





Good quality clothes for a fare price. Went today for their clearance and it was 1$for tags w red line on them..





I have shopped here for years. Great products, great prices and friendly staff. Highly reccomend





Quite expensive for used stuff. ????










I brought clothes in mostly new or hardly worn items and they only accepted the top brand names, very disappointed as they were all perfect clothes but not good enough for them and a lot of them were from the stores they claim they love, justice, old navy, childrens place. When I buy I don't always want the more expensive name brand I want a deal. I won't waste my time bringing clothes there again I will sell online instead





Great place to sell your old minis clothing and accessories and shop. Very good condition and quality second hand clothing. The grow so fast right. Love to reuse, recycle and re-purpose.





Good decently priced childrens apparel










The store is clean and well organized. Prices are a little high for used clothing. If you are selling, expect to have to drop stuff off and then come back.





Went to sell some clothes noticed they took more and paid less vs when I went to kid’s closet they took less and paid more. At once upon a child they are very friendly but I don’t know if I’d want to sell clothes there anymore.





Such a great selection and great prices!










I've always found the staff rude here but today was the icing on the cake. Customer service here is atrocious. They had the fitting room pilled with stock leaving the bathroom the only spot i could let my daughter try on a cart full of clothing. We never have luck with sizing so trying pants on is a must. About a quarter of the way thru an extremely rude staff member yelled at me that she couldn't try clothing on there and that there was a sign "right infront of my face" (i hadn't seen the sign). She said that my only option was to purchase all of them items in my cart and take them home to try on and return them if they didnt fit. Lol. Yeah...not happening with over $200 of product... So my daughter exited the single bathroom and we continued to try on sweaters and dresses over her tank top in the corner of the store. I was then approached by another staff member who told me she couldn't try on the clothing in the store due to public health measures. YET,she can try things on and fitting rooms are open at Kids Closet, old navy and ANY OTHER STORE in the city. AND, there was a little boy trying on coats 1 aisle away. How is that any different?! She again told me my only option was to purchase all the items & take them home and return what i didn't want (becuase that's a lot safer for covid, right?). We will never buy or sell to this location ever again. They clearly only care about having customers spend money and HOPE that they don't bother to return items in time. Instead, Kids Closet Barrie got our business and will continue as we were allowed to try clothes on there.










Fantastic store, very clean and great prices. All the items are in good clean condition and they have an incredible selection to choose from wether you are looking for clothes, toys or what ever else your kids may need, keep up the great work!










They have great clothes and toys for kids in good condition. If it doesn't fit, easy to exchange.




















Nicely organized.










Best place for gently used children's clothes!















Organized, great selection. Usually amazing prices.

























Great deals for kids clothes





Great store, no need to buy new















Huge selection.





Great selection of baby clothes but not much for little boys.





Lots of good stuff!





Great selection, well organized.





Problem not take good quality clothes not acceptable





Great selection and value





(Translated) Very good things at an excellent price for children under 14 (Original) Muy Buenas cosas a excelente precio para menores de 14 años





Stuff is getting overpriced compared to other places..even brand new prices are sometimes cheaper at other stores.




















very clean and organized store! excepts almost everything!










Fantastic place! Great selection for clothes and toys!










Good place to get used baby clothing.










Clean & great toys/clothes/ect They are usually busy with items people have brought in so I do plan my visit/errands around waiting a few hours to hear back. They work as fast as they can. I often find some great things here for my kids & I have never ended up with a problem with items. One point of improvement is that the door area gets very cluttered very easily making it difficult to get down the aisle at the front of the store with a cart or stroller, squishing past stuff & people is the norm.










Absolutely love their clothes.





I picked up a jean jacket for like $6.00 It looks new. Just a great place to take the stuff that is out grown and to get some sweet deals too.










Friendly workers, great selection of clothes and the product.




















In these crazy times they went above and beyond for me. They where so helpful and understanding. There customer service was outstanding.

























Good prices, good place















This is the most expensive OUAC I've been to, but that being said, they also have the best selection of quality items that aren't faded or stained.










Over priced















Tons of awesome baby stuff for great prices





Yesterday I dropped off items to this store for the 1st time. When I went to pick up today, I brought home the items they didn't want to purchase and started to take them out of the box. The clothes were completely soaked, and it was evident that something dark was spilled on them. I don't even know if the items can be salvaged, and it is very upsetting. I would not under any circumstance trust this location with your belongings and I will never go there again.















Prices are high for used stuff.










Always knowledgeable and helpful. Second hand products that are like new at less than half the price!










Lots of selection















Love having a place for affordable baby items... especially when they are loved for such a short time!





Always the best finds! The staff do a great job keeping the store well-stocked and organized.





This place has exceptional prices on great products.





Good selection and decent prices





Love the great deals and friendly owner here!!





Great selection





Rude staff















Disappointed when I had one item and there was a woman with a full shopping cart but the other two clerks stood talking instead of opening another till to help the line up. Most of the clothes are nice but some things are a but pricey





Best place for children's clothing, never had any problems with the store or staff. Clothes and toys are always clean, reasonably priced and have batteries installed. Friendly staff and their sales are amazing. When they decide to clean house you can get some amazing deals.





Terribly rude staff, and they throw your items out if you don't answer the phone. Yes, there are a lot of used clothes, just watch for their small minded ignorant attitudes.

























Plesant staff; great quality items!





Lots of great stuff










Good variety of item,great deals.










Great place










For a second hand clothing store it is very over priced. Today I drove all the way down there to give them a bag full of brand name, and like new clothes. Most items that was in the bag was bought from Once Upon A Child and yet they only wanted about 6 things from the entire bag, and what you get back from them isnt much at all. Wouldve been better off to sell it all on the Market Place. What frustrates me most is that several items were bought in sets, they took the shirts but left the pants that match. Dont understand how they can be so picky on what they buy when half the time their stalk on the sizes I need are always very low and the clothes arent even over all that nice. Dont really recommend this store.




















Staff is very rude! I go to once upon a child regularly but am now serious looking into other consignment shops. They make you feel unwelcome, no one says hello or even looks up to see if you are waiting for help when dropping off items. And don't dare ask a question about timing or how things work there because they make you feel stupid for not knowing policy!





Great store. Good turn around for clothing. Great employees. Wish we had an additional location in Barrie










I will go out of my way to go to this location over others. Bright and clean, doesn't make me feel like I am shopping second hand.















Great name brands





Gently used and new items for children in a variety of sizes and needs. One of my favourite places to shop for the kids. Staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable.






























Best place to go, awesome staff always smiling and very helpful










Great deals





Lots of nice finds. Check online pricing before buying, since a couple items are over priced for used.










Visited recently and was told I could only shop if I used a cart for social distancing. I have a few issues with this. How is a cart that's about 2 feet long going to make it safer for me? I had my children with me, how can I hold their hands to keep them close and safely shop while pushing a dirty cart around? It is i.m.p.o.s.s.i.b.l.e. I was told I am not allowed to shop in your store because I was not able to do the above. I will not be returning. Disgusted!!! I should add they lady teaching me I need to social distance with a dirty cart was also wearing her mask under her nose. Ironic!





Amazing service and helpfulness even during these crazy times! Way to go OUAC staff :)





It was far to crowded hard to get around especially with a little one










Great selection of products in great condition.





I find the employees extremely rude. Customer service is definitely not at this location. Marketplace is where you should buy and sell your used baby items















Great way for people to get quality goods at an affordable price.





Does not accept medical mask exemptions. Were very rude over the phone when I called to make sure it was okay. I have been to several other locations and have always been treated so well and with such respect. This place decided that they don’t care about people being able to affordable clothe their children in the midst of a global pandemic who cannot for medical reasons wear a mask. Will never support this location even when the mandates are lifted. Would give 0 stars if I could.





Its what a nice location, great variety however it was a crazy waite time. 3 hours..





Love getting my son's clothes here





amazing store. biggest one apparently





Lots to choose from. Not happy with some the prices










Used to be awesome but has gotten quite expensive for second hand. Bought a pair of GAP track pants for my little guy recently for 8$ and they ripped on his first wear (without rough play). Probably won't be back for a while. Joe fresh is the same price on sale as is Walmart.










Found out that they dont wash the items that are brought in. As well the cashier didnt speak english well so was very hard to understand didnt wring all items in even though she folded all the clothes even with tags out. Then looked at me like what was i doing when the alarm went off because she didnt wring something in. Very frusterating and concerning as you dont know where the clothes come from and they dont wash them.










I love this store! The selection is outstanding and quality is good! Prices have increased since I started shopping here but sale days are great!





Very well stocked. TONS of items for all sizes and well organized (color coordinated). The staff is friendly, helfpul, quick and efficient





Honestly this is my favorite place in the entire world!




















Went looking for snow pants and to let the kids each pick a book. Found everything and more than what we were looking for.















Always love going to this store :) They always have what I need and second hand toys for a great price.





Enjoyed my shopping trip at Once Upon a Child. Went shopping for some newborn clothes. Selection was pretty good. It took me a couple minutes to figure out the colour then size organization. Only thing i would say is the aisles are a bit too narrow. My wife was with me in a wheel chair and it was a bit difficult to get around for her.





Good variety of clothing





Found exactly what I was looking for





Cheap and reasonable and you can sell baby items here





awesome.e selection










Good place but very cramped for space















Lots of stock but I thought it was a little expensive





Tons of children's clothing at a reasonable rate and great staff





Hit and miss.




















Great help from the staff





Amazing deals and customer service!





It wasnt what I expected





Love these places










Great place to get all your kids needs. Awesome prices and great staff.










A great selection of used children clothing and toys. A good turnover on stock so visit often.










Great service.





Terrible pant selection. Boys, girls, all sizes. They had under 10 pair.





It's a second hand store for kids items they buy second hand items but they are very picky to ensure its safe and it's not time expired.






























A very good useful store





Friendly helpful staff and good quality merchandise










Always a great selection of quality kids clothing at affordable prices. Some brand new - some like new.





This place is great for finding those items you know your child is just going to destroy or wear once. We often frequent the store for Halloween costumes and other things needed in a pinch. Staff is always helpful and friendly.





Kids place

























My go-to store for baby clothing for all seasons (and holiday-themed outfits!) Also a good place to look for baby gear, toys, books, and nursery equipment.





This is a great store, clothes are in almost perfect condition, prices are fair! And they buy your used clothing too! Win, win! ????










Great deals.










Once Upon A Child doesn't even deserve a single star, I have never come across an establishment with staff so rude. They cause a scene when there is an issue, and make it known to all the other customers shopping. How uncomfortable. I also believe their method of re-buying is a scam, as I have once upon a time asked out of curiosity what they were giving me for an item and felt FREE wasn't suffice. SO BE CAREFUL, when you are selling to them because then they try to sell it to you for almost the same price as brand new. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!! STAY FAR AWAY AND GO TO KIDS CLOSET ON THE SOUTH END. YOU WILL THANK ME!





Nice little store for baby clothing and accessories Staff are very friendly










You can't beat these prices!





Great for infant, but prices become comparable to new as kids age. Toy and book selections are generally good. You don't get much when bringing clothing in, and they seem to just glance at stuff to decide as they've given back brand new with tags before.





They said that they dont except your number for point like all the other once upon a child i have been too.





great brands selection of gently used clothing





It is very good place. The prices are very reasonable. I really love it because the staff are friendly.










This is the most organized, clean, store of this chain that I have been in. The staff are great. They really do a nice job here.





Great prices, good clothes.















Easy access, lots of selection. Always a deal to find on kids toys and clothes. My friend found a great flower girl dress for her 4 year old





Great place for kids clothes second hand at low prices





HORRIBLE customer service the lady behind the counter was beyond rude to me when I was purchasing my items. Due to Covid You have to push your cart to the side of the checkout. I misunderstood where she pointed to originally and then she very rudely says “I need it behind HERE miss” then I didn’t know that their debit machine was touchscreen so I’m standing there looking at the debit machine for literally almost 2 minutes before she proceeds to rudely say “it’s touchscreen” I used to love coming here as they do have a lot of inventory but I don’t think I’ll be coming back.





Clean friendly helpful lots of products for kids.




















Only one in Barrie area. Good prices. Excellent condition of items. Great prices when they blowout end of season items. Never a disappointment.















A great place to buy and sell gently used children's clothing. My family has been buying and selling here for over 10 years.





Great place. Good service. Great quality second hand clothing for kids.










Honestly, super disappointed with bringing bins to this location. I’ve brought in 4 bins in the past 3 weeks, and all of them still had perfectly folded brand name clothes on the bottom. It’s like they skimmed through the top and gave up and wanted to move on. Missed out on Guess, Disney, even a pair of kids Uggs. I’ll be finding a new store to sell to.





Always a fantastic selection of great quality secondhand items. Never disappointed.




















Great place, lots of selection










Great place to find gently used clothing with a wide range of ages.





I do not recommend purchasing items from here. Angel care bath support was selling for 39.99 when you can buy it at Walmart for 19.99.





Good selection of clothing overall though the outerwear selection was slim store is clean and tidy






























Everytime we go to sell they are overwhelmed and can not get our stuff in :(




















Went there today, the store is clean and organized so nicely. The workers were friendly , can't wait to go back
