Has Anyone Used Kangaroo Kids on Manchester

I just wanted to hear people's opinions on Kangaroo Kid's on Manchester. I have never used a resale shop and I was just wondering what other people thought.

What can I do next?

They have just moved to their new location, a block east of where they were. Haven't been there yet, but am on their e-mail list. Their strengths: variety of baby & toddler gear (can special order strollers, car seats, and they are experts on slings), have a coffee shop area, offer breastfeeding help (bras, pumps), meeting area (promote socializing through talks and group classes, etc; a few years ago there was moms' group meeting and dads' group meeting ), very kid friendly (kids can play all over the place...). I am assuming all this will continue at their new place. A weakness I have found if you are looking for clothes: not a very large selection, and it seemed to me that it was not updated very often, and the prices are kinda high for used items. They have a website - check it out.
Generally, I have been going more often to Once Upon a Child - they are in Kirkwood, Arnold (?), and on Manchester (under separate ownerships). They have grown through the last decade alot, the one on Kirkwood rd. seems to be popping at the seams with clothing especially. When buying they have become more selective. But plan on spending some time when you go as there is a lot to go through. They also have a good selection of strollers, toys, and shoes. KKids is better on the ballet and tap shoes, though.
You should check both places, you will form a preference. It just depends on what you are looking for.

I go there from time to time and I like it. They don't have a huge selection of clothes, but every now and then I find something good. They usually have a decent selection of used baby gear, and some new (carseats, etc). They also have a great line of slings (new) and they carry some cute shoes. Good deals on used dance shoes and lots of breastfeeding supplies and pumps. It's pretty kid friendly (the owners kids are usually running around too). Last time I was in there I noticed they were starting to carrying some new products by Phil & Ted - a really cool company out of New Zealand. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess, but I think it's worth checking out.

I love the store! They are the only ones in the area that have LilyPadz, which are awesome, and they take time to teach you how to use the slings they sell. They are also very breastfeeding friendly, and they have a coffeeshop inside. Really, you can't go wrong.

I have used Kangaroo Kids and they are awesome. Great selection and great prices. They do have items that are new and still have tags on them. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Great Place!

I've gone to Once Upon a Child in Manchester and it is new and clean! They have a large selection an nicely organized. Also try Purple Cow on Watson. They have higher end name brand items.
The only time I went to Kangaroo kids it was dingy feeling and cluttered.
