1. ANB Baby – Wantagh

ANB Baby opened its first store in Brooklyn in 2006, and its second location opened in Wantagh in 2023.

2. Once Upon A Child – Seaford

Buying for baby doesn't have to be expensive. Once Upon A Child is a secondhand store selling gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, baby gear, and toys. Babies grow out of clothing sizes quickly, so buying used is a good way to save on something they won't be in long anyway.

If you're looking for unique, stylish, and well-made clothing, Caroline and Laura has you covered. The store exclusively sells European brands like Fracomino, Tutto Piccolo, Amaya, and Rapife. Sizes range from newborn to teenagers. It carries outfits for everyday wear and special occasions. 

4. Koukla Children's Boutique – Bellmore

In addition to baby and children's fashion, Koukla offers complimentary gift wrapping and local package delivery, as well as personal shopping experiences. If you can't get to the store during operating hours, make an appointment to have an exclusive shopping experience after hours. Koukla also holds special events during school breaks with crafts and shopping opportunities.
