Then we walked into Galt this past weekend. The woman who helped us was unimaginably helpful. She didn't sugarcoat anything and helped us pick a stroller that was right for our lifestyle. I just kept saying over and over, that visit put me so at easy (which is hard to feel during pregnancy). 12/10 recommend!

On the hunt for a stroller and car seat, which is an annoying task when preparing for a baby. But…read moreGalt & Buy Buy Baby are the two stores that I've heard of that carry a variety of strollers to compare, so off I went. This store isn't that large, though I don't know how it compares to other locations. They did have several strollers, all of the more expensive variety: Bugaboo, Uppababy, Cybex, etc.; you won't find a Graco or Chicco stroller here. I did appreciate that the woman showed me how to reverse the stroller, switch out the seat for the bassinet, and a variety of other features of the stroller. As I walked around she also told me about a couple of the gliders I was testing out, and showed me how simply one of the strollers worked with the carseat adapter. The employees here don't work on commission and that was good to hear, and were friendly enough making sure that I knew they were around if I needed help and then explaining things to me. She told me that if you purchase from them, they'll have someone put together the stroller, set up the car seat, crib and so on depending upon what you purchase. The cribs they had seemed to be of good quality and I'd like to take a closer look at them on another visit to some Galt location, since I know I'll probably make one.

You would not expect to find a baby store in the middle of what is essentially an office park…read more Entering Dream a Little Dream you'll see their offices at first and a few pieces of display furniture, but a bit further in you'll enter their warehouse where the bulk of the furniture is. And to be clear, it is JUST furniture--you will not find any sort of accessories or other baby items here, nor will you find juvenile furniture beyond a convertible crib. But they have several different cribs, bookshelves, etc. and they also carry Romina furniture, which is a brand from Romania that is Greengold certified. (Not sure if they carry Romina's sister brand Silva, however.) I visited to look for a chair for my child's nursery. They have three or so different brands of chairs. There was one I did like; it reclines, has control buttons on the inside of the chair (instead of outside where little fingers may enjoy pressing buttons) and there's USB connections as well for phone (it may even have had the Apple lightening connection). Unfortunately it was about $100 more expensive than another I'm interested in, and it would cost me $175 to have it delivered to my home on the far north side. They'd put it together, rather than me having to put together another one I might buy, but I'm still not sure I can justify spending a minimum $300 more on a chair from them. Anyway, it's a place that could be worth a visit if you're seeking baby furniture. I'm not sure how the scale of delivery costs changes if you're closer to Modena than I am, so perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if you're in the south suburbs.

There's a train track that runs above the store with a train toddling along. I saw moms sitting on the floor while their kids explored.

I didn't stay long as I was looking for infant stuff but I imagine I'll be back when said newborn gets a little older.

I had a very last minute, very difficult embroidery project that needed done- low top shoes. Two other stores told me they could not do it. Initial Choice invited me in and told me they would find a way to make my project happen. I went in an immediately felt like these people knew what they were doing and really cared about making sure my friend got what she deserved on her wedding day. They made several suggestions and I basically told them I would leave the project in their clearly capable hands. I went back to pick up the shoes a few short business days later and everything was perfect. I could not have asked for better work and better customer service. On top of everything I found their prices to be extremely reasonable. I cannot wait to go back when I'm not under pressure to have more projects done!

They have an excellent selection of tasteful accessories for ladies, kids, men and home - at reasonable price points. Monogramming is a focus and they do it well!

The Lake Forest/preppy motif is clearly represented in the merchandise selection. Need a 60045 needlepoint key fob? Look no further!

No response. I called on April 25 and stated I would like an exchange and if I didn't hear from them, I would file complaints. I did not hear back. On April 25 I also tried to contact via Facebook.

This store was cute. I was greeted by multiple staff members when I entered. But I'm surprised how…read moredifficult it is in 2023 to find gender-neutral clothing. This shop didn't really seem to have much that was gender neutral, at least not for newborns. Even if I knew the sex of my baby I don't believe that there are specific colors for gender so I am not interested in having a closet full of just blue or pink things or otherwise gendered things. A couple of the staff greeted me but that was it. I wandered around and didn't really find much that piqued my interest. Parking is all on the street, and this is maybe just on the outskirts of the more active downtown area of Highland Park, so I imagine it can be difficult to park here (I think I had to circle the block once to find a spot that opened up). It's only a few blocks from Highland Park's Metra stop so that could be convenient if you need to make your way here.

There were personalized blankets, hats, etc but I wasn't sure of the spelling so I went for an adorable onesie with tacos and guacs and a teeny tiny rainbow tutu which will be great for photos (imho). It is a little pricey but this is high quality and OOAK merch that will be appreciated. Also wrapped for me, a plus!

Based on our experience, I would recommend Twinkle Twinkle Little One to anyone who is looking for more information or to test a stroller in person.
