Once Upon A Child - San Antonio

They have great selections of children’s clothing and toys. They are also very clean and organized. I am always able to find adorable shoes and clothing items for my daughter who is 6. I have been going here for the past 4 years for her and I can always count on finding great deals. For my son on the other hand, he’s 11 and their selection on the older boys clothing and shoes options is more limited, which is not their fault. There are a few times when I am able to find what I am looking for, for him. It is a perfect location since it is very close to my home. One time, I was able to score an amazing pottery barn dress up wardrobe for very cheap. My daughter absolutely loved it. Always worth stopping by here to see what they have.

This is one of my favorite stores to shop at for my daughter. I can always count on finding cute clothes at an inexpensive price. The workers are always trying their best and since this place tends to get busy you can tell it is a bit overwhelming for them.
I signed up for emails so that I am in the loop on when they receive buys and when their counter is closed. Due to the amount of people who take bins of clothes for cash they have started to limit the bin to one.
They do require an ID to sell your clothes and they ask that your clothes be nicely folded.
The best way to get more information is through their emails!

Staff is always friendly. Buy/sell experience is simple and more than fair. I prefer this children’s resale over any of the others. 😊

I recently visited this establishment in order to sell some of my children’s old clothes. I received a good deal for what they took and turned around and spent that on what I needed for their winter clothes. They have a great selection of quality clothes! I highly recommend this place to anyone with children!

I like this location. I’ve sold to them two times and both experiences were great. Just make sure you read up on their policies and it’ll be easier as the seller when you drop off your items. I had girl clothes NB to 2T and placed them flat in the bin in a clear tote with a lid. This helps them tremendously as they go through several bins within a day as they can evaluate your items faster. My offer was ready the following day and it was a reasonable offer. I was just happy to get rid of extra clothing! Very nice staff and it was a nice turnaround to get my offer.

UOAC is always well-organized & I always find great kids' items here for a great price. There are tons of high-end name brand clothes & shoes for children, a lot of which still have tags attached. Today we bought: 4 t-shirts, 3 pairs of shorts & a pair of shoes, for $40 total! The shoes alone retail for over $40 new.

I love bringing my daughter here! Mostly everything is fairly priced. I even spoke with the owner while I was there and she was cool. The store is a little hectic as they are getting ready for Halloween and everyone is rushing doing last minute school shopping. Overall I had a great experience! My daughter was able to get 4 pairs of shorts and 2 pajama sets for $25 with tax!

Great store! It's well organized, reasonable prices, large variety in all baby/toddler/big kid sizes, shoes, & toys/ activities, plus a smiling friendly staff. Can't go wrong here! Oh and bonus: they have shopping carts so you don't have to chase your children while shopping 😊 Highly recommended spot for parents looking for gently used clothing at budget friendly prices!

When we think of buying clothes for our kids, this is our go-to place first. It's great to find casual clothing at a fraction of the cost of department and other retail chain stores. Everything is color-coordinated, by size and type of item, so whatever you might be looking for is easy to find. The even have a section of dressy clothes, pajamas and swimsuits. Also have a nice selection of children's boots - they look like they're in great condition! I don't shop for shoes there, though they have them. All in all, plenty of great finds for your kids clothing needs.

Almost overwhelming amount of clothes to go through!! BUT hey, that is a good thing! CHOICE!! Super cute clothes, both boys and girls. All sizes where full in selection. Spent just under 200 dollars!! The value was about 5 or 6 times what I paid! Check them out. Now some items WERE a bit on high side, but plenty things reasonable!

I was very satisfied with my trip today to once upon a child. Upon my arrival I was greeted by the manager and asked if I needed assistance and explained I needed to sell some clothes. She provided me with a time that they would be ready.shopped around and was able to find some really good deals on baby clothes and kid clothes. I was very happy with my offer and experience. I will def be back to sell and shop.

UPDATE
went in for a second time with seasonal clothes such as Christmas and Halloween and a few other items and was very satisfied with my offer. Thanks again.

Great Selection.
I love this place because they have a huge selection in all different sizes with quality brands. Since I have a boy it can be hard to find variety and quality at any one place.

Also, because it is a second- hand store everything is extremely affordable. I've bought whole bags of clothes for 20 bucks.

They carry all different sizes of kids clothes, shoes, baby products, strollers, and toys.

Always a large selection of items - clothes for babies to littles. Baby gear. Toys. Books. Movies. Baby furniture. Some new items but mostly gently used. Yes some items look more worn but are generally priced accordingly. The location has ample parking (as this area also has a Dollar Tree and House of Air the parking can get packed). The specials are generally good with several specials run throughout the year as Clearance Special with 50% off. You can also purchase a reusable tote that offers a discount. You can sign up for texts and emails that also offer other discounts or savings throughout the year. The staff is friendly and they try to get people checked out quickly depending on how busy the store is. This is also a great place to take and sell gently used clothes/toys/shoes. You do need to bring the items in a particular size bin and there is generally a wait to get the items back but they do tend to be faster during the week when less people are brining in item. You won't get too much but they do try to be fair in the amount they offer (and I haven't had too many other kids resale shops offer me much for my gently used toys or clothes). You can also choose to get store credit as opposed to cash for your items you bring in - which may be more bang for the buck. Happy with this location and I've been shopping here on and off for a good 4+ years. As of late May 2020 there is a .ask request before entering at this time due to Covid19.

I have found some good deals at this location. It’s a hot spot for finding everyday wear for kids at a fair price. It’s organized nicely and the staff at the desk seem friendly. There is one young girl who put clothes on the rack with blonde hair who has zero customer service skills though, besides her everyone else is good.

This store saves me tons of money on clothing with having 4 kids, 3 of which only want to wear name brand clothing. The only thing I dislike is that they sell Children's Place jeans at the same price as what you can get online brand new during their sales, which is pretty often. Still, with a few exceptions, they have amazing deals on clothing. I especially love when they do dollar clearance sales.

Wonderful staff! Damian the manager was so kind to me this afternoon. Yesterday they were having their "Monster Sale" where everything that was regularly priced was 25% off and clearance was 50% off. Sadly they couldn't get to my basket yesterday so I didnt shop because I couldn't use my tax free credit. The lady that help to me yesterday said that I could have the 25% off today since I dropped off my basket yesterday. Unfortunately when I got to the store the clerk originally said no that was a one day sale yesterday but I told her what happened and Damien allowed me to use the 25% off on 2 large items that I found in store today. Because of Damien I was able to walk away with a dollar in my pocket by using the 25% off of my 2 items along with my credit from what they purchased from me.

Chalyanna and Emily were amazing. I found the perfect crib for a great deal and I wasn't even looking for one. The customer that brought it in brought it assembled but it wouldn't fit in my SUV, so these two ladies took it apart for me. Talk about rock star customer service! The selection and deals here are also unbeatable, I suggest it for all parents.

Had a great experience! Came in to purchase pj's and was surprised at the great pricing - got three pairs of pjs for the price one pair at Target. Also found books and dresses for my older daughter. Great experience!

As someone going in to purchase, I wish I could give this store 10 stars! The sales associates were so sweet and everything was very organized and easy to do a quick shop through. I found quite a bit of name brand pieces, I couldn't believe it! I just had my first baby and I jokingly told my husband that now we can afford to have 10 kids with prices like these!

While you may not always have exactly what I want (maybe I'm just too picky?) Selling to you is always good. No a seller isn't going to get rich but I got $25 and went to Walmart to buy some new toys. Can't complain much there!

Even today with a major sale and Halloween event they went through a large amount of items I had as well as taking care of other customers for the hour I was there. Don't wanna wait? Do a drop off or go on a non sale day :)
