Come to Once Upon a Child for Savings and Sustainability 

How often do you go shopping for your children? According to market research conducted by the Retail Council of Canada, childhood growth spurts and back-to-school periods make shopping for clothes, shoes, and toys a frequent occurrence. If you want to enjoy substantial savings each time you shop for your children, Once Upon a Child is your best option.

Once Upon a Child is a brand that knows what’s best for your family and our Burlington communities. We specialize in gently used items for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and grade school students. We are very selective when sorting items before they go on racks and shelves. We carefully inspect all garments for rips and stains, so you can shop with confidence. Safety and quality are also important when we check toys, books, baby gear, and other items for your children. 

Shopping at our store allows you to save on name-brand clothing. In some cases, you can save up to 70% on everything from shirts to blouses and from pants to jackets. We strive to make things easy for our shoppers; for example, if we get various Harry Potter books, we display them in chronological order with discounts for bundles and collections. 

Every item you buy from us helps to support sustainable practices in Burlington. Since the Once Upon a Child brand launched in 1993, we have kept over 800 million items out of landfills. We invite you to look in your closet and bring your gently used children’s items; we will review them and make a cash offer. You can choose to take the cash or use the value as store credit for purchases.
