Shop Report: Taroo Too

A new children's store called Taroo Too (a sibling store of Taroo for women) opened in our neighborhood last month, replacing another store called Tutti Bambini where I never bought anything due to 1) high prices and 2) snooty sales clerks. Taroo Too is a welcome additional to the 'hood. Here are some pictures I took of the store and its inventory of trendy kids' togs:

There are lots of cute layette outfits (if you love pink/brown or pink/black combos, and animal prints, this is the store for you) plus accessories from brands like Mud Pie:



Here is a view of the little kids' section of the store--there are many printed graphic tees but also useful cotton basics like tees, skirts, and leggings.


This was one of my favorite boys' tees, I think available in sizes up to 4T.


For 'tweens and big girls, there's a decent assortment of casual wear plus some dresses. Nothing too flashy, which I appreciate as the mom of a 7-year-old.


This red-and-white cotton sundress by LeLe for Kids particularly caught my eye.


It's also a handy shop to pop into for a baby shower gift--there are pre-packaged gift items like booties, bibs, and burpcloths.


Stop by and visit Taroo Too, located at 1480 First Avenue (northeast corner of 77th St. and First Avenue) in Manhattan. Call 212-772-0400 for store hours or more info.
