A few times a year I sort through bags of outgrown kids clothes that get stuffed in the kids closet. I always have such great intentions of organizing them but the closet seems like such an easy black hole of avoidance. Then, the day comes when nothing else can fit in there and then I have to pull everything out and figure out what things I want to keep, what things I want to give away, and what I should try to sell. The latter is always the most challenging. There’s a consignment store I go to occasionally but it’s a pain to drag everything down there, find parking and then sort through racks of clothes to buy with Edie crawling through everything. So, I was excited to try something new when I was contacted by Kidizen to check out their free app that makes buying and selling kid clothes super easy from your phone.

So we gave it a shot…

Thank you to Kidizen for sponsoring this post. Download the free app right here to buy and sell your gently used kid clothes. 

Have you tried Kidizen before? It’s so easy to use. Simply snap a couple pictures with your phone of the items and then list a few characteristics about them like condition, size, and your price. The shipping is included in your price so it’s easy to shop. You know exactly what you’ll be paying (that always bugs me about ebay. I find this amazing chair and then realize the shipping is $200. Yikes).

After you list a few things you have a little shop that people can follow. The design of the app is really user friendly. I found the searching and shopping so easy, it’s addicting! It’s just connected to my paypal so payment is a cinch and you can search by your child (sorted by size/gender) or favorite sellers.

The items we ordered included sweet hand written notes. I love thinking about how it’s just one mom passing on their favorite items. Something much more personal (and way easier!) than shopping from a thrift store or consignment store.

Do you use Kidizen? I have a lot of friends that have been using the app for a while, so I guess I’m a little late to the game but happy to have found such an easy to way buy and sell used kid clothes. What do you do with your outgrown kid clothes?
