The Growing Kids Consignment Sale accepts just about ANYTHING related to babies and kids!
ITEM CONDITION: Clothing items must be in great condition with little-to-no signs of wear and no damage, such as stains, tears, holes, missing buttons, or dysfunctional zippers. Only items applicable to the upcoming season will be accepted. Equipment and toys should be clean, include all pieces, and must not be recalled. Below you will find specifics on what items will be accepted at the Growing Kids Sale.
ITEM INSPECTION: During Growing Kids drop-offs, all clothing and shoes will be inspected, and any unacceptable items will be sent home with the consignor. Please don't be offended if we ask you to take back some of your items. We will be checking very closely so as to maintain the quality of the sale. We reserve the right to refuse any item that we feel may not sell. It is often easy to miss a spot or tear when you are getting your items ready at home. We want to be known for having the best quality merchandise and we want you as a purchaser to have confidence that you are buying the best at Growing Kids.
REGARDING RECALLS: It is the CONSIGNOR'S RESPONSIBILITY, as seller of the items, to make sure none of their items have been recalled. Each consignor will be required to bring a signed waiver to drop-offs accepting the liability of the items they bring, and stating they have ensured that none of their items are recalled or do not meet safety standards. The waiver, along with the recall lists & safety standards are on our Product Safety & Recalls page.

NOT Accepted
- No dirty or broken equipment. If you are bringing large baby equipment items, all fabric parts should be washed and plastic/wood parts should be wiped down. Items that have not been adequately cleaned WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, and will require further cleaning before they may be consigned. We understand that these are used items that do not always look brand-new, but every effort should be taken to clean them as much as possible, and some items may just be too loved to pass on to someone else. And remember, clean items priced well ALWAYS sell, so the time you take to clean adds up to more CA$H in your pocket!!! Cleaning tips can be found at the bottom of this webpage.
- No equipment with missing seat-straps.
- No recalled or unsafe items
- No carseats that were manufactured more than 5 years ago (exception made for those having a future expiration date imprinted on them that shows they will be good for at least 1 more year), and none that have been in a wreck or are missing straps.
