Shop Consignment Stores For Quality Baby And Children’s Clothing

How much do you spend every year on your baby’s or toddler’s clothing? If you are like most parents, it is a pretty penny. Then, before you know it, the child has already grown out of these hard-earned outfits. This year, you can cut your spending by shopping for the same quality brands at your local consignment shop.

Quality Clothing That Looks Like New For Pennies On The Dollar

Consignment stores carry all kinds of gently-used essentials for babies, toddlers and younger children, including blankets, toys, bedding, pajamas, jackets, coats, gloves and winter hats. You may even find some bedding or clothing that is brand new and still has the tags attached!

Mom’s Biggest Secret For Saving On Winter Gear

In addition to finding great deals on winter items, such as coats, gloves and hats, you can often find waterproof brown boots, fun multi-colored snow boots, red rain boots or any other kind of boot that suits your child’s fancy. You can outfit your baby, toddler or preschooler in winter gear for between $10 and $20. Contrast this with buying brand new winter gear and you will save about $90 by shopping at a consignment store.

Furniture For Babies And Young Children

Cribs, strollers and baby carriers are also plentiful at most children’s consignment stores. A word of caution when purchasing a crib for your baby. Be sure that the slats are no more than 2-3/8 inches apart. New cribs conform to this standard, but some older cribs do not. Take your tape measure and do not buy a crib, no matter how much of a deal it seems to be, that fails to meet this standard. This could be a life or death decision and your baby is counting on you to do the right thing.

Clothing For Older Children

Shirts for girls and boys, as well as jeans are easy finds at consignment stores. Most stores carry clothing up to a child’s size 12 or 14 (US). The larger sizes are more difficult to find because children in middle-to-late childhood tend to wear the clothing out before they outgrow it. What you do find may not be the latest styles, but probably will not be that out of date. You may even get lucky and find popular pre-teen celebrities and singers that your son or daughter will be very glad to show off at school.

Designer Clothes At Rock-Bottom Prices

Not only will you save money when you purchase your children’s clothing at a consignment shop. When your children have outgrown the clothing and if it is still in good condition, you can sell it back to the shop. You will receive a credit that you can use when you buy your child the next size up. Shopping at a consignment store gives you double savings. Who would not like that?
