Frustrated by those size 8 shoes your daughter wore once last season that now don’t fit? Or by your son’s pants that suddenly became high-waters come fall? Shopping for kids can be challenging. It’s one thing to invest in quality items as an adult but quite another when contending with growth spurts and heavy playground wear and tear. For many, consignment stores can be a godsend. Not only can you find items for your children, you can also resell your children’s gently used clothing. (Always check with the store first about whether they are actively consigning and for what season before arriving with an armload of things, as all stores have different policies and cut-offs.) These stores are also great for specialty items like Halloween costumes, dance apparel, baby equipment, and toys and books. Check out the following spots in the greater Hartford area to find a consignment store near you.
