I even found the A is for Activist baby book here and snagged it for my friend. There's an outstanding selection to choose from.

I was hesitant posting this as we have gotten very good stuff from this store and have been going…read morefor several years. Recently there has been an uptake in issues with toys we've bought. I'm giving them a 3 star review because they did offer refunds for each issue and apologies, and acknowledge we make mistakes, I am just bothered it's repeated and over the course of a couple of years. We haven't had issues with clothes or shoes but specifically with either toys missing entire pieces repeatedly or broken toys. First it was a build a bear wheelchair that was clearly taped together then broke same day we bought it. Then it was a pink baby stroller that had a gem over a missing screw so it never worked right. Then it was a wooden toy set that had broken pieces and then missing pieces. And recently we bought a train set that didn't even have the correct train pieces in it. They offered refunds for all and apologies so I do want to make that known, I feel as though if you know this is an issue, this shouldn't keep happening. My child gets her hopes up every time to then have to take it away from her. We were able to give away the train set and decided to not take the refund as my partner felt uncomfortable going back in. Saying you're human and we make mistakes is true, yet the issue needs to stop happening. Attacking people for leaving honest reviews isn't professional and I see a lot of that in the owners response. Yes it can be nice if they contact you first but it's not required. Your apologies doesn't negate the experience especially if it's a repeated experience. If you shop here, please make sure you count, check and quality check the toys you are getting. Luckily we live very very close and hasn't been a huge inconvenience but it could be for a family that's visiting out of town or doesn't live close. I do want to add something since the owner responded and I feel as though it should be said, if you're putting the blame on your staff consistently, then maybe the staff needs to change because these mistakes are costing customers and ultimately money for the business. Wish you guys well!

At my baby shower, I received a beautiful baby girl outfit as a gift, but I unexpectedly had a baby boy. Since it was a gift, I wasn't aware of the store's strict 2-week return policy. Between postpartum recovery and caring for a newborn, it was impossible to return within that timeframe, and I went in 3 weeks after giving birth hoping for some understanding. Unfortunately, the manager was not empathetic or willing to help, even though the item was brand new and unusable for my baby. I understand stores have policies, but some compassion and flexibility for new parents would go a long way. Very disappointing experience from a store I previously enjoyed supporting.

For Easter they have an assortment of gift bags shaped like bunnies, Peep inspired bunnies and place cards for your table, and modern pastel bunnies that are all so cute!

The accessories are just as fun! Whimsical barrettes, earrings and jewelry, even someone fashiond dolls. Paper plates, journals, task pads, gift wrap, fun kitchen towels (Paris, you are speaking to me!) and coffee mugs - all adorned in beautiful florals and graphic patterns that will add a splash of color to your day. Small but nice assortment of Hobo crossbody bags, totes and purses. Whoever curates the products at Village Cheer is doing a fantastic job! So happy we discovered this gem!

That's as far as clothing, anyway; they also sell a lot of toys, some art supplies, that sort of thing for children. I didn't look at every piece of clothing here but what I purchased was all from brands I haven't heard of before, and really lovely stuff, so in addition to adding the shop on Instagram I'll have to check out the brands too. The woman helping me was very friendly, happy to help but to give me space. I bought a top for my babe and when I was looking at it she mentioned she had a navy colorway, which wasn't out on the floor but she went to get it for me to take a look at and I MUCH preferred it to the green one I had seen and was considering. I can't wait to see her in it! It's not a cheap shop, particularly if you're looking for clothing. But they had a sale going on when I was here and the two racks were packed with stuff. And the toys are generally not as high priced as the clothing if you're looking for a gift or something. If you're on a tour of children's stores in Portland, add this one to your list.

The woman who was at the store--the owner, I think, based on our conversation--was friendly and super helpful. She knows her merchandise inside and out. She carries clothing here that I've never seen before at the children's stores I usually visit in the Chicago area (I've already told the owner of one of them that she needs to look into these brands!). I really appreciated that she explained the sizing system since I was a bit perplexed at first (maybe she saw my confusion)--since some are brands based in other countries, they're sized by centimeter but the American sizing equivalent is on the back of the tag (though can we talk about that cm/in sizing system for a moment, because it would make my life infinitely easier when trying to buy kid clothes....) Almost the moment I walked into the shop I zeroed in on this adooooorable pantsuit for my daughter, and a darling dress. I'm buying a little larger for her since she's a high percentile child and I'm looking forward to seeing her in these when she's big enough to wear them. They also sell local goods--I bought a Portland-themed t-shirt for the babe. I asked about a local shoe company I'd heard of that listed BW as a retailer and though they don't carry that brand any longer, she showed me a different local brand they carry called Ozznek (which has super cool shoes with removable soles!!) and I bought two pair for my little. This lovely little store was worth the visit; I will definitely return and I'm keeping an eye on their socials. I think they ship as well so between that and stopping in when I'm home visiting my mom I can keep my babe in cool duds. Parking is on the street, and it was easy for me in late morning/early afternoon on a Thursday, but I'm not sure if they have any parking lots or garages for visitors to Portland's Boise neighborhood.

I've been to several local baby stores, and this one easily stands out as the best. The store is bright, welcoming, and well-organized. Every single staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We came specifically to check out strollers because we were overwhelmed with online reviews and needed to see them in person. The team here was amazing -- they patiently walked us through each option and gave clear demonstrations. What really stood out was that they allowed us to take the strollers outside for a real test run, complete with a demo baby. All we had to do was provide our IDs. This made a huge difference since testing a stroller on the sidewalk feels totally different than just pushing it around indoors. They have a great selection of strollers and car seats. I do wish there were more budget-friendly options, but overall, we had a fantastic experience and truly appreciated the staff's kindness and support!

I literally didn't buy anything and was there for maybe 10 minutes but had such a positive interaction and left feeling so much less confused and overwhelmed. Will definitely be back for some more shopping when it's closer to my due date!

Recently, the customer experience has shifted in a way that feels noticeably less accommodating and more rigid. On one visit, I arrived just a few minutes past the posted consignment drop-off time--with a large bag of items--and was turned away without any flexibility. As a mom juggling kids and schedules, that kind of all-or-nothing response felt unnecessarily inflexible and not very aligned with the realities of the customers they serve. There was also a separate incident involving an item that was handled in a way that felt lacking in communication and follow-through, which added to the overall frustration. As someone who works in sales and customer service, I fully understand the importance of policies--but also the importance of discretion, tone, and making customers feel valued. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my recent experience. I hope there's a return to the more customer-focused experience this store used to provide.

A few weeks ago while at Portland Saturday Market, I stumbled across a booth selling handmade…read morechildren's clothing. The clothing struck me as being very original, as all of the items were reversible: Reversible overalls, reversible shorts, and reversible dresses and jumpers. The fabric combinations were clever, fun and colorful -- just the type of thing you want to dress your little ones in. And upon close inspection, I could see that the products were very well made. The owner of the booth, Linda, explained how she uses high quality quilting fabric in her designs and that all of the components - from the metal snaps to the thread and elastic - were all American made. Plus, the stitching was top notch, too. But, I couldn't get over the reversible nature of the products; it was almost like getting two pair of overalls for the price of one. A pretty good value, these days. I ended up purchasing a pair of reversible overalls for a little friend of mine, and she just loves them. In fact, her mother says they have become her favorite thing to wear. So much so, that the mother has to sneak into her daughter's room at night to steal them, just so she can launder them! I have since purchased a dress and a couple of pairs of shorts from her online. Her turnaround time was phenomenal - especially considering it was a custom order, and everything arrived just as promised. If you are looking for quality, handcrafted children's clothing, I strongly suggest you check out Nana's Creations at Portland Saturday Market. Or make it easy on yourself and order from her online. I know you will be very pleased with your purchase.

Either way, take your business elsewhere cause it seems like an extremely predatory resale store.
