It is hard for me to come up with one word to describe Mama Goose the best. I honestly can buy almost anything my heart desires for my children at Mama Goose. I always go there for birthdays and any holiday for all my nieces and nephews as well. Mama Goose takes care of its costumers so well. The staff that work there are always helpful, willing to help, listen, offer many meaningful suggestions of what to get. I love buying my children gently used clothing, it helps me do my part to be "green." I appreciate being able to sell my items there as well so I can get some trade in value. Mama Goose carries many new items that are so beautifully and thoughtfully made as well. I love my Ergo, my children both have fit in it so comfortably. My son has so many cute Robeez too. Basically, I've never left Mama Goose with only the few items I had in mind, I always find at least one more thing that I need. I also never seem to keep my store credit because there are so many wonderful things to buy! I'm so grateful that Ithaca has Mama Goose, perhaps I'll never be able to move!

I just recently had my first child. My husband and I needed some clothes for the baby so we went to the mall and spent over $10 on an outfit. Doesn't sound that bad, right? Well then I discovered MAMA GOOSE. What a day that was. I was so excited I bought my son an outfit for $4!
The greatest thing about Mama Goose for me is they always have what I need. And the staff are wonderful - they helped me get started on cloth diapers (which, by the way, Mama Goose is the perfect place to by used cloth diapers). I have purchased clothes, shoes, diapers, neck ties, a diaper pail, a swing, winter coats ... (they have a great coat sale during the fall!) I've also sold some things to them that I wasn't using that can go to parents who need it for way less $$!
Bottom line - I told my husband Mama Goose is always our first stop.

I live about 30 minutes from Ithaca, and we go to Mama Goose about once a month. There isn't anyplace in the city I live in to get Cloth diapers or Charlies soap. I could order everything online, but I really like helping out local companies instead of the larger corporations. Every time I am at Mama Goose, I tell myself that I am not going to shop...but I can't resist. They have such great items at such great prices! The staff in very helpful. When I started cloth diapering, they gave me all the information I needed since I was overwhelmed. I couldn't have done it without them!

We have been huge fans of Mama Goose since right after my first daughter was born. Not only do we like the idea of recycling clothes, but it just makes practical sense not to spend a lot of dough on kids' clothes. If one of my girls needs something, I always make sure to stop by Mama Goose first to see if I can find it there.

Mama Goose is filled to the brim with gently worn children's clothing. The prices aren't dirt cheap a la Salvation Army, but you don't have to work hard to find items that your child needs and are in good condition. You can also sell off your stuff here, which is a lot less annoying than having a garage sale, and you won't be wondering about the Christian agenda as you might if you donate your used items to the Salvation Army.
