Highland Park has a surprising number of baby and kid stores. I stopped here since I was looking…read morefor a coming-home outfit. There's a carousel outside the store on the sidewalk, which I think is kind of an adorable touch! The employees didn't notice at first that I had even come in... they greeted me when I wandered into the other room. The shop is large and clean and carries mostly baby clothes but has a few other items. They have a larger gender-neutral selection than another store I was at but still somewhat surprised by how heavily stores/manufacturers are still leaning into pink and blues for kids, or gendered cuts (ruffles, bows, etc.). I did see a few gender-neutral sorts of items but either had the item already or decided against it. I would probably not make a special trip to Highland Park to shop here, but that's not really a knock on this store because I don't know of any store that I'd head out to the suburbs for. Parking can be tricky because this is essentially downtown Highland Park, and you'll really only find street parking. However, the Metra station is only a couple blocks away. If you're looking for baby clothes you'll certainly find something here because they definitely have plenty of cute things.

Stopped in to Sprout Kids just to browse during the art fair and found the perfect gift with the…read moreassistance of Lisa. The personalized rocking chair was exactly what we were looking for. Lisa guided us through the options to select the material and lettering for the personalized gift. She then coordinated the order and delivery which was being shipped out of state. She assured us she will be on it and communicated with us each step of the way until the chair made it to the final destination. The family we sent it to loves the chair for their baby daughter. Would highly recommend stopping in to Sprout Kids when you are looking for children's gifts. Plenty of clothes and accessories to choose from.

Great selection and excellent service. I'm not a huge fan of the overly girl signs for sale ("Girl:…read moreA Giggle Covered in Glitter") or the messages they perpetuate, but I know there's a market for that. C'est la vie. They do carry SweatyBands, my favorite headbands in the world. And the owner is incredibly nice. I make this a regular stop when shopping for my husband's goddaughter who is 12.

First time shopping here; I came in here because I needed gifts for all the new babies in my life…read more Staff was helpful in finding sizes for the sunglasses I picked out, but I had an idea of what I wanted before I walked in. The store is well organized with lots of tailored, quality options that make nice gifts; more on the vintage/preppy side. Don't know how the clothes hold up with washes but if the price tag is any indication, I'm going to assume well. There is a sales rack in the back that have a good variety of styles/sizes as well. I'm also on their e-mail distribution list since and used a 15% off coupon I received.

I placed an order online on 11/28. Never heard back. Then emailed them on 12/14, never heard back…read more Today I gave them a call only to find out "oh your order never existed". Apparently Janie and Jack is selling items they don't posses. So some items in my GIFT order were not in stock and not only they canceled this order. But NEVER notified me that it was canceled. Now it's 5 days before Christmas and I have no gift. The customer service representative was not only not apologetic, but also gave me an attitude; as if it was MY JOB to know the inventory, how dare u order an AVAILABLE item off their website without knowing it's actually not available. What a ridiculous waste of money. Order# J05561853

The store is organized, clean and the prices are very good. I started coming here when my granddaughter was born almost 4 years ago as a 3lb. 9oz. preemie.

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.

They are very friendly and I found really adorable items for both genders for sizes tiny to toddlers. 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!
