Random PSA: Wonder Nation from Walmart is surprisingly good quality kids clothes

[Anonymous]

I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of Walmart kids clothes. My six year old wears clothes hard - faded knees, paint, marker, grass stains, red mud, rips from the hooks on the swing set. I previously shopped more expensive brands and Walmart has held up really well.

Just a PSA.

🙄 rich person discovers Wal-Mart. Literally millions of people shop there. Do you really think this is news?

Dp. Do you shop at Walmart? Garamimals from Walmart is terrible. It's not all good quality.

I've tried to look at clothes there and the clothes section smell so bad. I don't know if it's chemicals used in production or whether warehouses or trucks are sprayed, but that stuff reeks. I don't want it on my kid.

Put it outside for a few hours in dry weather, then wash and dry. Problem solved.

Ps Walmart also has a lot of good clothes and accessories for adults too!

Op here. Of course everyone knows about Walmart but the quality of different lines there can vary. I’m sharing my good experience with Wonder Nation. Granimals was hit/miss for us over the years but this line is close to JCPenney Thereabouts which I have kids tees lasting five years from.

Agree, OP. There actually aren't very many Walmarts where I live (Northern Virginia), so it's not unusual for someone to not shop there ever. I received some hand me downs from this brand and they were nice.

I’m not rich and I have no interest in shopping at Walmart. They’ve destroyed too many small businesses.

I agree, my kids have a bunch of their stuff. We also like their Athletic works line. Their girls shorts with the liner have lasted longer than their Nike shorts. I haven’t been to Walmart in person in years but we buy online and I’ve never noticed a smell on the clothes.

I literally just discovered this. We bought an emergency swimsuit at a Walmart on vacation (Wonder Nation brand) and it was insanely inexpensive ($12 for a rash guard and bikini bottoms) and after a week of wearing and washing and drying repeatedly, it looks great! I thought it would fall apart. And DD loves the look of it.

Another mom recently told me that she buys her kids' school uniforms at Walmart and has been surprised by the quality at the price point. I haven't looked yet to see if my kid's uniform colors are available but will definitely be checking it out now.

I grew up in a small town (not rich) and this was the general outlook of everyone in town when the Walmart went in on the edge of town, which really shaped my view of the company. Though 25 years later, I actually don't think they destroyed any small businesses -- the places we all thought would be threatened by the Walmart all survived. Turns out what Walmart sells actually has very little overlap with most small businesses. I think the ones that were most at risk were the local hardware and auto parts stores, and both survived. Though eventually the hardware store was put out of business by a Lowe's.

Now in 2025 I am "discovering" Walmart for the first time as we go hunting for bargains thanks to price increases. I know a lot of people have shopped there for years, I just had this negative association with it that stuck I guess.

I always preferred their clothing to others. They have decent clothing for adults especially their Levi jeans. I love their delivery service.

Same experience in my small town a generation ago. This “save the local business” thinking is from a time before Prime two day shipping and online shopping. Not even the big chains are immune from those market forces, let alone the little mom and pops.

The Time and Tru line for women is good too.

Amazon is just as bad. You both must have had loyal customers in your towns for the stores to survive.

Everything in Walmart is from China so who knows what will happen
