A nice place to shop for clothes for babies and toddlers! The store was bright and clean and easy to navigate. I was surprised they didn't have carts with a baby seat in them, only the ones you roll behind you on the ground. I brought my son with me and I was banking on the fact I could just pop him in the cart so an easy shopping experience. I just assumed a children's store would have something like that so parents can shop with their kids. The quality of the clothing is nice, prices are kind of all over the place. They do have a sale section that has some gems in it and when I went they had a bunch of sales. Shoes are kind of limited and they only have toys for super small babies. I came in to get my son a couple outfits for the holidays and I was happy to walk out with a couple great options. The service here was just OK. The cashier was clearly Ill and coughing a ton but at least she was wearing a mask albeit, under her nose. read more

I am publicly documenting my egregious experience at this Carter's location, which involved fabrication of return policies, refusal to honor a valid refund, and systemic failures in employee training and oversight. This is not merely about poor customer service--it is about Carter's corporate responsibility for deceptive and obstructive practices carried out by an employee who identified herself as the store manager and was acting as an agent of the corporation. 1. Fabricated Policies & Repeated Obstruction of a Valid Refund Carter's explicitly states on its official website and printed receipts that any new, non-worn items may be returned within 90 days of purchase. My return met every reasonable expectation of a valid return--the items were brand new, unworn, with all tags attached, and the return fell within the 90-day timeframe. Yet, I was subjected to three separate, baseless obstructions, demonstrating a clear intent to prevent a lawful refund: First Obstruction - Fabricated $200 Return Limit The employee falsely claimed that returns over $200 could not be processed, despite no such limitation appearing in Carter's official return policy or printed receipts. When I clarified that my return was only for approximately $130, she reluctantly proceeded, already demonstrating bad faith in handling valid returns. Second Obstruction - False Claim That I Had to Be "In the System" She then claimed that I could not process a return because I was not registered in Carter's system, an arbitrary and undisclosed requirement. No written policy supports this pre-registration mandate, nor was it disclosed at the time of purchase--a clear violation of California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.), which prohibits imposing return restrictions not disclosed at the time of sale. After collecting my personal information, she still refused the return, citing a third and final excuse. Third Obstruction - Refusal to Override a System Error & Fabrication of Additional Policy She then repeatedly stated, "The system won't take it, and I can't override that," without offering any corrective action or resolution. Retailers cannot enforce a return policy while simultaneously refusing to honor it due to internal system failures. Under California Civil Code § 2338, Carter's is fully liable for the wrongful acts of its employees performed within the course of employment. Problem-solving and policy enforcement are fundamental duties of a store manager--if she is unable or unwilling to perform them, she is unqualified for the role. 2. Improperly Shifting the Burden Onto the Consumer - Violating Consumer Rights Rather than acknowledging the issue and taking responsibility, she improperly placed the burden on me, stating that I must personally call customer service to resolve the issue. She explicitly stated, "That's not my problem. You should be the one taking action." This is legally impermissible under California Business & Professions Code § 17200 et seq., which prohibits businesses from imposing unreasonable burdens on consumers to access their rights. I presented a valid return within the allotted time. The items were brand new, unworn, with tags attached. I provided my information (when unlawfully required). Despite this, she attempted to place the entire burden on me, which would have: Forced me to waste time calling customer service for an issue entirely caused by Carter's system failure. Required me to return to the store again to yet another time attempt to rectify a purely internal malfunction issue. I will not be returning to the store after experiencing humiliation, emotional distress, and the outright violation of my consumer rights. This was not my obligation in the first place, and Carter's employee should have been fully aware of that. 3. At this point, this is no longer purely a question of monetary damages, as the refund amount is negligible compared to the blatant consumer law violations and the emotional distress caused. The real issue is Carter's failure to uphold consumer protection laws and the harm inflicted upon customers through outright misrepresentation of policies, humiliation, and undue procedural burdens. Carter's employs undertrained staff who clearly lack the necessary knowledge of corporate policies and consumer protection laws. These employees must be educated on the legal consequences of their words and actions, which are directly attributable to Carter's as a corporate entity. 4. This Issue May Be a Widespread Problem - Potential Class Action Liability It is highly likely that this employee has treated other customers the same way, particularly those unaware of their legal rights. Many consumers may have suffered financial harm, emotional distress, or undue procedural burdens as a result of similar misconduct and deceptive practices. read more

Pros: cute clothes. Reasonably priced Cons: very few options for older girls. Unhelpful staff BUYER BEWARE: if you see something advertised online do NOT expect to pay that price in the store. They do NOT price match their own Carters website. So ridiculous. A $15 item online can be priced at $20+ in store. Their solution was for me to order online and come back in 3-7 days for the item that that had in store. We don't live in the area so I will no longer be shopping at Carters. read more

I agree with another reviewer that unfortunately most of the clothes online can never be picked up at the store. If there was a way to make this happen quicker that would be awesome. It would be lovely if they could increase the inventory at this store or get quicker shipping from corporate. Otherwise it's better just to ship from the online site. read more

We've come in this location a few times, but most recently we came in on Black Friday 2020. As understandable, it wasn't a busy store but there were still a few other customers bargain shopping. All of the employees saw us come in & greeted us. I know they're trained to do so, but it's always a nice little thing to be greeted when you come in. As we shopped around, everyone kept a safe distance, even employees. When we needed some help finding something, the employee took the time to bring us around the store to where it would be, while also making sure she wasn't bringing us in close proximity to both herself and other customers. In this day & age, it's the little things. The store was kept clean & organized. We didn't feel like we had to hold or breath or wear gloves. And checkout was with minimal contact. As far as the deals go, everything was wonderfully priced, and then there were the Black Friday deals on top of that. With both of our sons growing like weeds, it's great having a place like Carters we can go to to get clothes at a great price. And it's good to know that in 2020, it'll be a safe, clean option should we need to do in store shopping. read more

Big and very nice store. Perfect for gifts for the new born and babies. I really don't know much about it, so I really needed some help badly. Got all the help I need from the staff here (just took them 15 minutes to have time for me, but once they did it all went well). Store is big. Different range of pricing. And a big selection of merchandise. I don't come often to baby clothing stores. But next time I will need to I will come here. read more

They are super nice and friendly. I like the store and the collection they have. I love parking area. The only problem is curbside pick up which I don't think it's a problem or employee issue. I believe it's their website and their inventory issue. I have tried several times to purchase online and then use the curbside pick up but most clothes are not available or takes 5 to 7 days. read more

Love love to dress the kids in our giant extended beautiful family! Thanks Carter's. See any floor representatives they are the best seriously. Excellent customer service. A smile goes a long way too! read more

Love the clearance section here! You can get great deals at the end of the season. Employee was very helpful- even ordered a size bigger for me online and sent it to my house. However she did mess up on the inputting of my address so I hope I still get it... read more

Carters is a great place if you know what you want and know where everything in the store is. I came into the store to find some preemie clothes for my son. Some family friends told me that they had a nice selection of preemie clothes and because of the size, it's hard to come buy. I asked an employee for some help because I had no idea what section of the store this particular size of clothes was and the employee said she would get to me in a few moments and after browsing for about half an hour, she never came. Since I was there so long, I ended up finding it on my own. It's a good thing I was not in a rush or anything. After I got to the counter, the girl apologized for not helping me and said she had forgotten. I am giving three stars because although I felt the customer service was not that great, their prices are good and they had a sale going on which is always nice. read more

Employees are friendly, and their service is excellent. There are many selections available, and they offer good value.

Walked in here recently with my wife and young child and the store went back a long way. They have a ton of clothing, much of it on-sale. We loaded up our baby's wardrobe. She'll be impressing the locals for months to come with her new style. My only wish is there was more to this store -- there are only a few toys! And it feels like a store from any era. Where's the video displays or interactivity to keep husbands intrigued? Service was moderately helpful. They were folding clothes and putting them on shelves. This really could be the jeweler of kids clothing. (Cartier vs. Carter, I thought it was funny when I came up with it but really poor execution.) read more

Very clean and neat. Very polite and friendly staff. Usually carters has good deals on its products. Since babies r us is closed I purchase for my son here most of the time and am happy with their products. read more

This location is huge; they have a clearance section towards the very back of the store. You can find anything / everything here; and the sales are always great. I'm pretty bummed about how the return policy for Carter's has changed to 90 days now, instead of "return anytime" option. The sales lady indicated that the policy only changed in July 2017 / summer of this year. So heads up to all those parents out there - if you need to return any Carter's clothes/items, be sure to do so within 90 days of purchase! read more

I love this store! It's actually a really bad thing that it's just down the street from me because I'm always here buying things for my little guy. This is by far the best store to buy baby clothes. They have a huge selection and great prices. And it's never hard to find a coupon to make the cheap even cheaper. The only complaint I have about this store is that there never seems to be enough cashiers working. They are incredibly nice and helpful but it takes forever to get rung up because there only seems to be one person working at a time. read more

Nice staff, clean and organized store. My son spilled water on the floor and when I shamefully asked the sales woman for paper towels she said not to worry "stuff like that happens all day." Then I didn't feel so bad She also helped me use the best coupon offer from my email which I appreciate. I will go back for sure. read more

Carter's offers a solid selection of baby clothing. The store has a large variety of soft cotton merchandise. The designs are totally cute! The square footage of the retail location makes for a crowded shopping experience. In the evening, the line to pay for merchandise can 7-10 minutes. The service is knowledgeable and professional. read more

I went here to exchange a gift for store credit and it was easy peasy. I was afraid they would say no or I had to return it by mail but it was no problem - also everything I bought was cheaper than what it said on the tag- like $16 and $14.80 vs $22 and $24 so that was unexpected but nice. The 2 women who helped me was super friendly and nice and really made me feel comfortable to ask any questions. I don't recall one of their names but one of them was Vanessa! She was awesome and made us feel very welcome. read more

Honestly, this is the best place to shop for kids clothes. The prices are always low and they send coupons in the mail if you sign up. The quality of stuff is great. We have been shopping here for all three of my kids now for the last 7 years. Everything lasts. They have a great variety, lots of cute clothes for both boys and girls. I love shopping here. read more

Some of my friends have started having babies and so the gift giving begins. What's great about Carter's is their buy one get one free sale...on EVERYTHING in the store! I just stocked up on some cute blankets and bought some clothes for my friends' kids! Def don't buy full price here when there are always sales read more

Barely visible from the street, this outlet store is nestled between BevMo and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Although the address is on Canoga Ave, the store is actually closer to Victory Blvd. What a terrific place for discounts on quality baby and toddler's clothing. Offering 30% to 70% discount on items, some of the items are mislabled. As a example, I purchased two skirts of the same design for my granddaughter, both labeled the same size, but were actually not the same. read more

I love carters really great quality!!!! Unfortunately there were two girls who worked there were EXTREMELY RUDE and made my shopping experience very bad I am pregnant and had just found out it was a boy and was so excited!!!!! I was there during the day it was not busy and the 2 girls were just plain rude like I was bothering them!!!!! I had a return which she was annoyed about and one of the items had a dirt spot well I didn't put it there and she wouldn't return it even though it came like that I was there May 6th early afternoon and I will not be back I hate feeling like I am a hassle to people that are suppose to be friendly, not to mention how rude she was when I asked if I could use my coupon she Rudley, said NOT ON CLEARANCE I WONT BE BACK WHICH IS VERY UNFORTUNATE I loved carters read more

First and foremost I just want to start off by saying I will not shop here again. I came to this store on Saturday to buy a last minute gift for a friends baby and when I got there I noticed there was a group of people outside the store I asked what happen and they didn't know why it was locked when the store hours said they were open . I peaked through the window and saw two people shopping inside but I don't understand how they were shopping in the first place when the door was closed ?? I wasted 35 minutes of my time for this type of business, smh! Not recommending this store to shop. read more

Always have amazing deals with great customer service at this location. Everyone is very friendly and the store has TONS of inventory. Most stores have 70% girls clothing and 30% boys clothing. I would say this store has a great selection for both genders. The quality of clothing isn't too shabby either!! read more

First off, the employees don't bombard you to buy something!! Which I like, they don't follow you around the store asking if you need help, either! This store is always clean and always has great prices! The merchandise is always stylish for kids.. You can find a great section of clearance racks for all ages too! If you check-in with YELP you can get 20% off your entire purchase. Great place to shop for last minute birthday gifts! read more

My wife loves this store, they always have great deals, and their clearance section is always filled with amazing stuff read more

This store is always organized, even the sale racks have everything in order. I always come in here to buy things for my nieces and nephews, being an outlet store they have everything on sale and fairly good prices. The clearance section in the back is the best part- huge markdowns, and the cutest things for the best prices. The girls are always helpful, and it's never crowded in there. read more

It always seems like there's a sale at this place. I think their prices are comparable to the factory store in Camarillo. Too bad my daughter will soon be too big for this store. read more

Love Carters so much! They have the cutest clothes for my little man and Carla is so helpful every time we come in!

Love Carter's! I can spend so much time here. The door buster deals are great. I love the variety for my son. He's so active so I don't like to layer or put him in heavy items. The shirts and shorts are great for daycare. I love the cute button ups with matching pants. The staff is so helpful and the line doesn't stay long. I will be back soon. read more

Cute stuff. Poorly staffed. There can literally be three customers in the entire store and you will still wait in line for at least 15 minutes to check out... I don't know what makes the employees so slow in the checkout process but whenever I think I'll just run into this quick little shop it always takes me twice as long as it should. read more

Baby clothes! Sooo cute! They always have door buster deals, huge clearance area & helpful staff. Plenty of parking, store is clean & organized. Sign up for their free membership & they'll send coupons & deals through email. I get my receipt thru email. It's easy to find if I need to exchange anything. Great place to shop! read more

I normally do not leave a review or feedback but I wanted to this time. Because I had an extremely wonderful experience. Great place to shop at. I'm always in they're shopping for my three kids. I was in the other day and a young woman Carla helped me. She really went out of her way to make sure that I had a great experience. And I really love the fact they even though my kids were a little crazy she helped me shop and entertained my kids for a little an it didn't bother her. As for most of their employees normally kids to bother them. So a big thank you Carla!! I I definitely will be back to this location!!! Great customer service! always organized and easy to find stuff. read more

Love some of the staff especially the woman that helped me,I think her name was Carla I believe, she's very sweet helped me get every thing I needed read more

I love this location Carla helps me find the best outfits she's also amazing with my son!

How can you be a new mom to adorable infant and NOT love carter's? This store is the only store where I walk in and want to buy everything that's not meant for me lol. Clothes are way too cute for words for my little girl and they have sales year round so that's what makes it affordable. They also have a rewards program where you get a point per dollar and when you reach 100, you get $10 off! Too easy to do that here. Oh and if you walk away with a $40 or more purchase you get an extra 20% off! Lines can get long here, but they move pretty fast. They also have promotions where customers can line up for prizes. I won a box of wipes! As a mom, I was ecstatic. Others got $10 gift cards to the store and Starbucks. The contests aren't that crazy cuz it's a baby store, so the target consumers are limited. Return policy is easy, which is also great. Skip Hop products are also sold here, but are not included in the regular store sales. But you can use your rewards points toward them! Love this store, am a loyal customer! read more

This is my first time at any Carters store and I loved my experience! First off, there's an abundance of parking for the time of day I came and is located in one of the quieter and more lowkey plazas around the Topanga Westfield Mall. The store's huge, unlike other stores that may have a section for babies, there isn't much of a selection. So many cute things for both girls and boys and they also have a bit of a unisex collection as well. I came here ready with a coupon plus they were having a 50% off the entire store sale already PLUS it was the day before Veterans Day so I was able to use a military discount as well. The clearance section in the back is huge has an abundance of clothes in different sizes. I ended up buying around 30 items that was supposed to be over $110, but I only ended up spending around $80 something! Service was a bit slow and quite a bit of a line, but it didn't bother me as I knew everything I was at great quality and great price. The cashier I had was pleasant as well, very friendly and she was the only worker in the store greeting everybody that walked in. Make sure you sign up for their rewards as you get $10 for every $100 you spend and also something else which I forgot (pregnancy brain at it again). read more

You must come to buy now! It's really cheap! Everything on sale!!!! Love this place for my grandson:) read more

I really like Carters. They have cool clothes for my kids. The staff is really not that helpful. Most of the time they don't have my kids size in stock.
