Kids' Club050

Kids Club carries the very best in children's clothes, shoes, toys, gear, and accessories in a fun atmosphere that gracefully accommodates children out shopping with their parents. Set the kids to playing at the gear table, doll house, or train table while you shop for toys, or park them in front of the VCR in the infants' section for a few minutes of easy shopping. Outfit your baby or child completely here - no need to go anywhere else, really - or browse for a special shower or birthday gift. The store is also home to a children's hair salon.

Look here for special, high-quality kids' clothes for infants through boys' size 10 and girls' sizes 14-16. We saw tiny knit caps in ice cream colors; primary-colored fleece separates by Oinkbaby; casual play clothes by Flapdoodles; and drop-dead gorgeous special-occasion clothes for the hip urban baby or toddler. Clothes for all ages are selected with care and manage the formidable trick of looking cute without being cutesy.

For infants, look for Mustela baby products; Baby Bjorn carriers, potty chairs, and stepstools; Lamaze and Sassy toys; layette items (check out the soft fleece blankets); Avent breastfeeding supplies, bottles, and sippy cups; Britax carseats; diaper bags and cloth diaper gear; infant-care books; and miscellaneous doodads that make life with baby much easier.

Kids will enjoy shopping for socks and tights; hair accessories; cool backpacks; outerwear and raingear (umbrellas, frog/bee/ladybug boots, and frog raincoats). The store carries Elefanten, Keds, and Kenneth Cole shoes, and mini Tevas in the spring and summer. [To size 1]

Toys tend to be simple and pricey, with a welcome bias toward the wooden and away from the electronic. Look for fun monster and dino hats; dolls; stuffed animals that are a step above more pedestrian plush; outdoor toys; puzzles; cool toys for pretend play; art supplies, and a nice selection of Gears!Gears!Gears! gear toy sets. Check out the selection of Halloween costumes in late summer or early fall.
