We were gifted a lot of Carter's stuff which I went back to exchange for stuff I'd like better. I think some of their 3 piece outfits and rompers are cute, but seems like everyone has the same stuff. It's not anything I usually spend my own $ on besides the sleepers. The fit is really good so far for LO though! Basically everything she wore for the first 8 weeks almost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-814442 Tue, 28 May 2013 22:47:23 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 814442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: this.</p> <p>I like it a lot and many of his basics are Carter's. but...it gets old when there is a monkey on everything or a "daddy's little.." . I have moved more towards h&amp;m and gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-814438 Tue, 28 May 2013 22:43:01 +0000 Springtime 814438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I agree! I don't really like their toddler stuff that much but bought a ton of Carter's stuff when he was much younger! I do love their basics though such as pajamas and white undershirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-814157 Tue, 28 May 2013 19:25:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 814157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: yes the "mommy's little ..." And " daddy's little ...." Gets old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813984 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:33:21 +0000 pinkcupcake 813984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm meh on them. I think their stuff is too cutesy/babyish. And their stuff w: wording drives me nuts. I only like them for pjs and onesies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813952 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:17:11 +0000 dagret 813952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love their onesies and their pjs. The outfits are just ok. I prefer baby gap and Gymboree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813942 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:11:29 +0000 BananaPancakes 813942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't purchased anything from Carter's that wasn't total crap quality and a lot of their stuff is very babyish, so it's not for me. But, I only had a few onesies here and there that I'm judging them by. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813930 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:04:19 +0000 rachiecakes 813930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the pajamas and undershirts. Not so much the outfits, though I think the holiday stuff is supercute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813894 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:39:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 813894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot and cold.</p> <p>I liked a lot of their stuff when J was an infant. But as a toddler their stuff is very babyish and I much prefer gap.</p> <p>I do think a lot of their girl items are cute- especially dresses. </p> <p>I agree with looch that I don't care for the printed shirts for girls or boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813893 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:38:58 +0000 lomom 813893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: bahaha!

I find that the quality is just okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813857 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:24:19 +0000 banana 813857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of things are ok. I just buy pieces that I like and I mix and match with other brands. For the price, it's good though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters/page/2#post-813856 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:24:11 +0000 yin 813856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Carter's white onesies and pajamas. Boys styles are more limited, but I do like the styles for girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813850 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:21:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 813850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok for pjs and undershirts but I dislike most of the clothes we've been gifted from there. DH is really anti animal print on babies and we ended up with a lot of "jersey cougar" stuff ... His words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813845 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:16:22 +0000 HLK208 813845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I love Gymboree! I think you and I have similar mini style (only other HBer who loves big crazy baby headbands!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813843 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:16:03 +0000 Weagle 813843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Carter's for pjs and play clothes. It definitely has a presence in LO's closet. When I'm looking for something special or extra cute, it's not my first stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813842 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:16:01 +0000 mamimami 813842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like their stuff OK but I had a TERRIBLE customer service experience with them and now I am anti. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813840 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:14:51 +0000 HLK208 813840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy some stuff from Carter's but I like baby gap better and I don't think the prices are that far off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813817 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:04:27 +0000 teamjse 813817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overall not a fan of their clothing, I bought some of their premie clothing and donated it after Ds grew out of it. I didn't like the quality or the style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813784 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:54:21 +0000 loveisstrange 813784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: There was a really cute one last Fall that said "Boy Genius" with an atom on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813778 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:51:57 +0000 lomom 813778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I am so with you on the wording. "Mommy's Rebel?" Ugh. How about "Mommy's Future Honor Student", that's a shirt I would buy. I want bigger, better things for LO lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813775 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:50:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 813775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overall I like it, I try to avoid phrases or overly cutsy items, but its great for onsies, and play comfy clothes for daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813773 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:49:23 +0000 BKCaribBaby 813773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, of all the clothes she's received or I've bought, Carter's fits her the best. She's tiny, and she is swimming in most 0-3 month clothing from many popular brands because they are way too big for her (looking at you, Baby Gap). I stay away from slogans and such regardless of brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813762 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:45:09 +0000 Boheme 813762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do the cutesy sayings or slogans, or animal appliqués ... But I have noticed that this summer they have a ton of cute boys stuff that look like mini versions of DH's clothes - little polos, khakis, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813758 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:43:37 +0000 hilsy85 813758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their sizing fits LO well, and I think they're great for basics (onesies, both colored and white) and footed sleepers. Some of their stuff is too "cutesy" for me, but on the whole I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813756 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:41:57 +0000 loveisstrange 813756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fan. Their sizing fits C really, really well. I like the cutesy stuff and their bold colors and prints. My main squeeze is Gymboree though. Im a Gymbo addict. </p> <p>Im actually really NOT a fan of Baby Gap, Janie and Jack, Mini Boden, etc like a lot of people around here are. So, I guess that's just where tastes differ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813737 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:34:18 +0000 JerricaBenton 813737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were gifted a ton of carter's. I really like some of the more 'outfitty' things but I'm not a huge fan of the outfits with sayings and the applique on the butt. They are totally fine and comfy for home but I usually choose something else if we're going out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813720 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:28:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 813720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them for affordability and comfort (who doesn't love cotton stretchy pants). But I don't love the style. Too much has cutesy sayings or is loud crazy prints. You can find some really cute classic pieces but they are hard to find. I also got annoyed that a lot of their stuff isn't "mix and match" outside that season. So if you bought pink leggings from spring, it probably will not match the shade of pink in a shirt from summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fan-of-carters#post-813714 Tue, 28 May 2013 15:26:52 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 813714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some stuff is ok, but a lot of it is too cutesy for me. Especially the slogan stuff! Mommy's Little Hunk and such ... blah. </p>
