Once Upon A Child Fairbanks

Once upon a child offers new and used items for babies and toddlers. If you are looking for a jumper, toys, clothes, developmental, special needs equipment, or what ever your baby/toddler needs are they generally have it. Remember due to the breakup coming soon get your used water boots.nnThe staff is great and will get what you need. Just remember this is Alaska and takes a little time to ship items here.

I will start by saying that this place really does do a good service and the people there are always nice and helpful. The reason I rated it 3 stars is because the items are usually over priced (in my opinion) for a second-hand store, in some cases only a fraction less than retail price when they're clearly not new. They often don't have what I'm looking for (which I know is out of their control since it's based on donations) so I end up having to go to a retail store and pay full price anyway. The most helpful thing is buying shirts and pants here as I can usually get a lot of those for a great deal, and for that I am grateful. The other things I try to find (shoes, snow clothes, rain gear, etc) are usually slim pickings or too close to retail price for a used item to be worth it to me.

The girls here are always so sweet and helpful. They have everything you would need to buy for your children.

Stopped in on 9/2 to drop some stuff off and the 2 girls working were very friendly and helpful.

We went in to look for clothes for a baby shower and the whole store stunk like weed everywhere you went in the store.
