Each Once Upon A Child location is individually owned and operated. As a mom myself I understand how expensive it can be to raise kids. They outgrow clothes and shoes so quickly. That is why I love the sell, buy, repeat concept and the affordability it gives families. Not only do you save money & make money when you sell but you are also doing something that is good for the environment and that is something I really wanted to get behind!

Our customers want quality childrens clothing and were excited that we can offer discounts up to 70% off of original retail prices. We strive to offer a fun and convenient way to sell your gently used items. Whether youre buying or selling, we would love to help you find what youre looking for. We offer payment on-the-spot for items we select that meet current style, safety and condition standards. We maintain high merchandise standards by thoroughly inspecting all toys and equipment for any safety recalls. I am looking forward to servicing the Nanaimo and surrounding areas for years to come.

Once Upon A Child provides a sustainable and convenient way to buy and sell gently used kids clothes, shoes, toys and baby gear, focusing on quality, safety and value. Each Once Upon A Child location is individually owned and operated by local business owners, so you can feel good about shopping small.
