Once Upon A Child Enfield

Welcome to Once Upon A Child! We are the nation's leading buyer and seller of brand name new and gently used kids stuff.

Kids look so great in stylish outfits, but who wants to pay high-end prices when clothes are outgrown so quickly?  We offer the perfect solution: the latest in new and gently used name brand clothes, toys, books, equipment and furniture...just right for fast growing babies, toddlers, and youths.  We concentrate on safety...not buying or selling items that have been recalled.

From NOW through October, we have extended our Sunday shopping hours. We will now be open from 11am-5pm.  As usual, we will not accept any buying drop offs on this day, however you are welcome to pick up your buys between the hours of 11am-3pm. Please call us at 860-745-9599 if you have any questions.

Although the new Lead Law that went into effect on February 10th will not affect resale shops, Once Upon A Child will continue to make safety our #1 priority.  We will continue to closely monitor CPSC recalls and advisories and will buy and sell items that meet all safety standards.

We buy items Monday through Saturday from 10:00am - 7:00pm. We DO NOT buy on Sunday. We buy clothing seasonally and are now buying FALL/WINTER. We buy clothing sizes 0-14/16, however we are more selective with the infant sizes 0-18 months AND youth sizes 7-16. We require that you bring your freshly laundered items in a "solid" container such as a laundry basket, box, or plastic tote (Sterlite, etc).

No bags (garbage, plastic, paper) of any kind can be accepted at this location,  nor can we accept items that are not contained (the only exception to this are the extremely large items such as baby furniture and large baby equipment that will not fit into a container. All clothing, toys, books, smaller baby equipment must be contained.)

Our goal is to keep our customers informed. Don't miss out on important information about Once Upon A Child. Sign up now to be on our e-mail list. Our e-mails will enable you to receive valuable information about sales, discounts, clearance items, store information, and more.
