Buying gently used baby clothes, shoes, and toys can save money. Look for items without stains or missing pieces. Avoid fabric toys and soak everything in bleach before use.
Delivery of babies is a blessing for parents. Kids are constantly outgrowing clothes and bored with toys. Always buying new ones becomes very expensive. However, gently used toys and clothes are just as good as buying brand new ones, as long as you know what to look for.
Delivery of children includes gently used clothes. When shopping for baby clothes, look for shirts and pants that are free of stains or tears. Most stains, once set, are difficult or impossible to remove. Missing buttons and press studs can be easily replaced. Bring a tape measure to measure the inseam of used pants, as they often have shrunk.
Children’s expedition shoes can be a lifesaver for parents. Children’s feet grow like weeds, sometimes outgrowing a pair of shoes every month. When buying used shoes, make sure your kids try them on in socks to prevent the possible spread of athlete’s foot. After purchase, remove the insoles and replace them. You can buy them very cheaply at any pharmacy.
When shopping for children’s toys, look for toys that have all the pieces. You may need to put the toys together and try to play with them, while you’re still at the consignment shop. Toys without all the pieces are usually useless.
Toys made of hard plastic and metal are easier to clean. They can be cleaned and disinfected without too much trouble. These toys are also less likely to fall apart with excessive use. Bring batteries when buying toys on consignment to verify that battery operated toys are working properly.
Avoid children’s toys made from fabric. These include stuffed animals, teething towels, cloth-covered dolls, and cloth-covered rattles. These types of toys can harbor lice, germs, dander, dust mites, and fleas. Even with regular cleaning, they cannot be completely removed.
When looking for large toys for children, such as jungle gyms, look for home daycare centers that may be closing. These are usually advertised in the newspaper or on the Craigslist website. The price can be significantly reduced for a quick sale.
After purchasing baby clothes, wash them before wearing. This will prevent the spread of lice or hair that may be on your clothing. Wash in the hottest water recommended for the fabric and an ultra-strong detergent. If possible, use bleach.
Children’s toys should be soaked in bleach and water before allowing children to play with them. If the toys are electronic, clean with a cloth and bleach. Let it air dry overnight.
