The…read morelady helped me find a model to fit my needs and she taught me a lot about baby wearing and how it's beneficial to my family, it's amazing! When I got there I thought they only had their slings, but they also carry a bunch of other stuff like cloth diapers or biodegradable diapers, organic cotton baby clothing, recycle maternity clothing, natural body care for mom and baby and more... All Canadian made products! Oh and I had to breastfeed at one point so the lady helped me get comfortable with a pillow and everything and while my daughter was eating we had a little chat about babies and kids and stuff... very friendly. Definitely a place to discover!

The area isn't really cluttered like it might seem at first glance, however. Items are organized by type and age range. Needful things for the littlest ones seem to take up the front of the store: Robeez, layette sets and age-appropriate toys. There are things for the bigger kids, too. I've found that all I need to do is ask and I can be shown exactly what I'm looking for. My most recent venture involved a raincoat. The sales associate who helped me was fantastic. She showed me the selection and even offered suggestions in a way that was helpful and without pressure, all while taking into consideration what my preschool age son might like. She even involved him in the process, much to his delight. The prices are reasonable, in some cases even a few dollars less than what you could expect to pay at a bigger store.

This little shop has some really cool stuff for kids. Each of my kids picked out a special souvenir…read morethat they were excited about (finger puppets, a carved wooden trinket, smooth etched stone). They also had neat handmade cloth bags filled with activity books, as well as costumes, cute knitwear, etc. Stuff seemed a bit expensive, but there were some unique finds that I could see justifying the higher prices. Why the two stars? Well, the shopkeeper barely acknowledged our presence the whole time we were there. She went out of her way to ignore us, and did not greet us or smile. After paying for our items, she didn't even thank us. Keep moving on if you wish for any sort of polite interaction or civility.

But let me tell you why I am a big fan, my sun played with friends today and ripped his snow pants. We went there and my wife mentioned that she had purchased these pants there 2 months ago. The salesperson was not lazy, called North Face and told us these pants are under warranty. We got a full refund and since they had a sale we got similar pants and a nice refund. That person, by not being lazy saved us a lot of money and won our loyalty

The prices are very cool and they have sales all the time. The day I went in, everything was 25% off! It is around the corner from the LCBO and near the exit by Independent Grocery.

We found two dresses at the store that we both fell in love with and a bonus was that they had all the accessories to go with her outfit. Nice white nylons and the sales assistant, Evelyn, helped my daughter try on a variety of different shoes. The prices were very reasonable and there was no hard sell. Evelyn, really took the time to connect with my daughter and find out what we both were looking for. She took a lot of care wrapping the special dresses in clothes bags and making sure that my daughter felt very special too. We had a super girls time in this store and will definitely consider coming back when we are looking for dressy clothes on another occasion. Saw lots of nice duds for the boys here too. Thanks Evelyn you are one of the stars in Ottawa retail.

Online orders with the worst customer service. Order online because it's convenient…read more Ordered around $300 in their product In The last few weeks with multiple orders. One item has a rip in it. Their response from customer service is that I need to bring this $5 item to one of their locations to be inspected before I'm provided a refund. In a DONOTREPLY email. Basically they just shut down any online communication when their item is defective even though you ordered through their online site because it's convenient. It's NOT convenient to have to drag my children on a bus to one of your locations to have a shirt inspected. If I wanted that I would have simply shopped in person at your store and inspected the merchandise I was purchasing before bringing it home with me. Now you want me to spend more on bus fair alone than the item is worth, plus my time, plus the frustration of the ordeal simply to have a shirt replaced. No thank you. It will go in the garbage and I will simply scratch you off my list of stores I purchase from. Worst customer service I've ever encountered.

There's a huge moose decked in a buffalo plaid vest and hat that you encounter when you walk in. A lot of clothing, from full-zip hoodies, to t-shirts that either have Ottawa or Canada on them, can be found in this store, among other merchandise. Prices are decent. You can get a t-shirt for $10. The quality is pretty good for the price that you pay. You can also get maple syrup, ice wine chocolate, plushies, and more. There's a clearance section at the back of the store. A male staffer was talking to his female counterpart about some person who came into the store and caused a disturbance. He made mention of filing a grievance with the police. He then left the store. i had found a t-shirt that I liked. I went to pay for it. The woman at the counter said that it was cash only. There was a payment machine on the counter. Interesting. I let her know that it was unfortunate that it was strictly cash. I put the article of clothing away and left this store. As a tourist, I don't carry a wad of cash on me. As a Canadian, I don't either. It's such a ridiculous restriction placed on tourists and shoppers who want convenience and don't want to handle cash post-pandemic. This store does not have an ATM to withdraw cash. Instead, you need to walk over to Rideau Street to find a bank, figure out how much money you need to withdraw, and head back to this store to make a purchase. Highly inconvenient. If you are dying to make a purchase here, I recommend arming yourself with cash before dropping by. Otherwise, don't come here thinking that you can use a debit or credit card to make a purchase.
