What People Are Saying About Grow

In Short – The glass storefront of this shop invites parents into an open-spaced high-end boutique to peruse organic and environmentally friendly kids' gear. The shop prizes modern, functional items from local manufacturers. Stylish clothing crafted from natural fibers hangs in the front room alongside personal care products. Toward the back customers can find non-toxic furniture, including toddler beds made from birch.

Pricey but worth it for the design and graphics.
by ReenieOdo
My husband and I visited the shop this afternoon. At first it was a little intimidating being there really wern't price tags on many items. This usually means high end! After making my way further into the store I realized that wasn't the case. Much of the merchandise was priced about the same as stores I had already been shopping at. THe diference was the designs were unique and not just intended to entertain baby with shiny objects. What attracted me most were the graphics used to create design concepts for a fashion forward nursery. They had fabulous mobiles and wall art! I loved the baby apropriate designs a contemporary mom can appreciate. I'm so tired of the expected disney or pooh bear themes. The girls in the store let us know they were available, but let us shop and take it all in. When we finally had some questions they had a ton of info. They had no problem with walking us thorough the hole registry process. It's easy to get overwelmed. They were really sensitive to our intrest in saving money and honest about all the options and what is really necessary. I felt they were really intrested in helping . They also didn't hesitate to recomend other store or vendors if you had needs they couldn't provide. All there products are none toxic so they are some things you may not find here. We ended up having a really plesant afternoon.
- Pros: The ambience, service, and quality of products were the best I've seen so far.
- Cons: Some things are out of my budget but they had plenty of things that seemed worth the cost!

Great Shop, Great Merchandise
by sarells
Had walked into Grow a few times before ever making a purchase and always appreciated the relaxed feel of the store despite the high design merchandise. I suppose this could be interpreted as disinterest as mentioned in the other reviews, but I aways found it nice...lots of time to look around and check out the great baby gear without feeling pursued by a salesperson. When I did purchase something, the service was excellent.
- Pros: Well Designed, Eco and Baby Friendly Gear; Good Service
- Cons: It's not Target and it's probably not made in China, so you'll pay high prices

Not helpful staff
by TrueChicagoan
As a new, stay-at-home mom, I came all the way from the South Loop to check this place out. The first obstacle was the front door. There is a step! It is a baby store and I would presume a good number of patrons have strollers. I have a Bugaboo which is massive and by the time the lady working there came to help I was already in the door. I had questions about gDiapers and she was not helpful, did not offer to show me how to use them, and pretty much said to go online to find out the answers. She then sat there as I looked around, did not speak to me and so I left. In response to the other comments, it doesn't seem to matter what brand your stroller is, they are rude to us all.
- Pros: Unique products
- Cons: Staff
