Gymboree

Have you noticed that so many of the baby girls you see out and about have little bloomers that match their dresses? «Where can I get those?» you might ask. «How can I put my kid in a dress without her diaper showing?» Well, you can get them at Gymboree.
They also have boy clothes here, but the girl clothes are what really sets this place apart because you can get oodles of matching accessories. While they are pricey, they do have some great sales, and the high-​quality fabrics make it a good buy if you do end up paying full price.
Because the full matching outfit sets (for example, a dress and a romper with matching diaper cover, hat, headband, and shoes or booties) are so coveted, people will get nasty trying to get them during a sale. On a recent visit, one woman bumped my stroller and pushed me out of her way to grab the last romper in a certain pattern (relax, b*tch, my baby is already out of that size)! Luckily, my kid was not in the stroller but being held by her papa, so I didn’t have to rip that woman’s face off and cram it up her crusty butt hole. Still – not OK! Try to come in during off-​peak hours to avoid some of the crazier clientele and avoid fisticuffs.
The store is also very well organized. The staff is on top of keeping sizes in their correct sections, and there are not clothes scattered across the floor. Things are generally easy to find, unlike the clothing departments of most of the big box baby stores.
Note: this is not a location that has play events. They do have information here about what locations do offer them, though.
