This is one of my favourite store that I love shopping at for my daughter. At one stage I bought every girls cardigan they had and not only is affordable but it comes with cute price tags. There was an animal print pant they had at bardot junior that costed around $60 but I found a similar pair that almost looked identical at the kidstore for $20 you’ll find so many good stuff

Such a large variety for both genders, Gorgeous modern looks for our kids to wear not to mention thequality of all things I buy from the kidstore is exceptional for the price. Even after many washes and soaks the colour is still vibrant and looks still new. Recommend them to all my parent friends!

i loved bright colours and good quality of clothing at kidstore it’s different and practical which is pretty rare these days I think. the service was really good too, return policy and help from a shop assistant was excellent. my daughter loves her outfit and wants to wear it everyday.

when looking around the kids store web site there were very limited items for you to have a look at before going into there store 2 dresses for girls along with a swim set baby’s were one set and boys were limited to i be leave they would benefit if they were to expand what they advertise on there web site this would encourage people to check there store out. if they were to add more products on there site and have a person on there where you could mix and match clothes on them this would be great and when you go to the store you would have a fair idea of what you are going to purchase i really enjoyed my review experience and loved having the chance to view the kidsclothes store i will be recommending this store to friends and id happliy go back and shop there again

I would have loved this review! I love Kidstore clothes, they’re excellent quality, reasonably priced and they have pieces that are just a little bit different. Their sizing is spot on and their sales are great too. The clothes we do own have washed and worn well. Highly recommend although my experience with sales staff is that they very eager.

I love The Kidstore. I went in there quite by accident one day and it was one of my best mistakes. They have a great range of funky clothing without being trashy and too over the top for little ones. They also have a great range of non toy gifts. We have purchased many a present at The Kidstore.

I worked across from the the store at fountain gate and I loved the clothes that they had. Great quality and beautiful colours. The only downside to this store was it’s price. It was more expensive at times than bardot kids or pumpkin patch but although their clothes are great they aren’t of the quality of those stores. In saying that I did find quite a few cheaper things there and miss the brightness that the store brought to the centre.

I didn’t get chosen for this but found The Kid Store very expensive so whilst I didn’t buy clothing which I must say looked of good & high quality I bought 2 little dolls for my 2 nephews so hopefully they will like them. There were some items on sale but nothing stood out & still too dear for my budget 🙂

As the title states. I have been able to find a few great items for a reasonable price, but most items are over-priced and do not look or feel that great. I would even go as far as saying some pieces of clothing look like they have way too much frills and print on them that they look cheap.

My daughter got given some tee shirts from the kidstore it was cute but after the first wash it stretched out of shape marks on the shirt that i can get off other clothing of my daughters didn’t come out, Also colour faded after one wash . Also i find it on the expensive side the material is quite thin and the clothing has quite a funny smell to it and you can smell it when you go in the store it smells almost of some like a chemical in the clothes. Sorry but compared to other stores it is on the expensive side considering the quality

I love the Kids Store. I bought all my babies clothes there and they were so lovely and such great qualitiy. After many many washews, they kept not only their shape but also their vibrant colour. I also love the designs. I find them old fashioned yet modern at the same time.

This is a follow up review for the Kidstore.
After a few months of wear, the shirts I bought for my toddler are as good as new. The prints have started bright and not even begun to fade, although I do take care to dry inside out. They haven’t lost their shape at all and still fits perfectly.
If they can put up with a toddler at childcare, I would recommend their clothes to anyone who likes their clothes to last!

I purchased three gorgeous jackets for bub from The Kidstore, and i love them all. I’ve received so many compliments for them every time bubs wears them. Also, even after going into the wash a few times they still maintained their quality which is fantastic as i know that bub can wear them over and over especially with winter coming.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
