Once upon a time, I went into this store on Fountain View every week to buy something. They had the best store in Houston - best selection and good prices. I had high hopes for the store in West U. But, when I visited, the store smelled AWEFUL, the play area was disgustingly dirty, and the clothes were poorly organized and very poor quality! I don't know what is going on, but the quaility of the clothes on the Fountain View stoor has been really disappointing the last 2 trips and the store is starting to smell like the West U store. Did they change management? Terribly disappointing!!

I disagree vehemently with the previous negative reviews. I liked Yolanda as well but the owner has now taken over Second Childhood's location and is very cheerful and helpful. Also the selection is much larger now that all the new and resale clothes previously at the Holcombe location are available at Fountainview for our shopping pleasure. The prices also seem lower than when Yolanda was manager. If everyone doesn't come and check it out if will be their loss and that much more for me and all the other Second Childhood fans.

I agree with the last review. This place does not have nice clothes and the service is sub-par. I couldn't be more disappointed!!!

I havebeen a loyal customer since I was pregnant with my first child 10 years ago. Yolanda was always at the shop with a smile on her face and ready to help me find the perfect outfit or checking my account balance. She become a very dear friend over the years to all three of my children. How dissapointed I was today when upon enetering the shop only to find out she had been let go due to "downsizing". The shop had been rearranged and the new layout just does not have the same flow. Even the quality of the clothes seemed less than stellar. Stains on a Tommy Hilfiger polo ...Gone were the racks of wonderful boutique items.... The owner seemed very uninterested in the customers or our children, only taking the time to comment to me that "at least my girls were playing quietly in the play area"... Sadly, I will not return...unless Yolanda comes back.

This place is more than meets the eye. They are so friendly and helpful. Even the play area is 'kid tested, mom approved'. I had such an easy time shopping, their merchandise was easily accesable, and prices were great! My son, 2years of shopping terror, really loved the play area, which made shopping a breeze! I found so many really great brand childrens clothes that my biggest problem was deciding where to draw the line! Give them a try, you will LOVE IT!!!
