Babies enter the world in minimal attire, as they need one month more of gestation to grow pants and a "My Mom Rocks" T-shirt. Bring their wardrobe up to speed with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of new and gently used children's clothing, toys, and furniture at Once Upon a Child in Cary.
Once Upon a Child outfits growing bodies in new and pre-owned brand-name apparel, marked down to a fraction of their retail price. An always-revolving inventory of popular children's labels such as Baby Lulu and Hanna Andersson keeps infants and toddlers from being ticketed for public indecency, and school-aged kids happily don brand-name duds such as a boy's Ralph Lauren button-down shirt ($8.50) or girl's Gap blue jeans ($8.50). Furniture such as a Graco plug-in swing ($60) gives parental arms a much needed rest, and toys created by companies such as Little Kids Bubble Toys safely entertain junior adults.
Once Upon a Child enforces a high standard of quality for merchandise, generally stocking items from the past 12–18 months that already know how to coordinate themselves into matching outfits. Shoppers can also bring along their own outgrown duds or other kid necessities to submit for consideration while shopping, possibly earning cash or store credit for items that meet the store's buying criteria.
