Maybe it was the castle-like design of the stores, but a trip to Child World seemed positively grand to millions of kids in the 70's and 80's.Toys R Us eventually won the toy-store war by stocking better and more products, but kids who weren't too picky and parents who couldn't afford high-priced items were loyal to Child World.You can still see vestiges of the store, as many modern retailers never bothered to change architectural aspects of former Child World locations.If you see a Big Lots with unusual turrets, it might be an old Child World.
