Review from Vanessa G.

Maybe it's because the sales clerk determined that I wasn't part of their target market but when a fairly friendly girl approached me asking if she could help and I explained that I was just checking out the shop and would be looking at anything toddler she basically said we don't really have anything here for you.
Granted the focus of the shop is for expecting and new mothers, but I felt rather brushed off. I mean, I could have kept the shop in mind for say, shower and baby gifts, future pregnancies etc...
After dismissing her and having a quick look around on my own, I deduced that this place must be known for their cloth diapers and diaper lending service as they have a whole wall of the stuff. They also seem to have a lot of slings and all things 'natural' in the way of baby products.
As you can imagine, I didn't delve deep into the selection and probably won't be making another visit.Comment from Susie P. of The Extraordinary Baby Shoppe 7/15/2010

History
Established in 2002
I started this business under the assumption that other parents would be interested in the same products as me -- namely cloth diapers, and slings. At the time I started the business, these products were only available through online businesses -- I firmly believe parents would be more successful in their cloth diapering endeavours if they could see the diapers in person. Our cloth diaper loan program, and newborn diaper rental, encourage parents to 'test the waters' without making a significant investment -- our diaper loan program has been duplicated throughout North America!
