Kid to Kid

I really hate coming to this place, this has been our 3^rd sales visit and they will only take about ¼ of what we bring. I have been to other places with same concept and they usually take most or all of my daughter’s toys, shoes, and clothing.
This place has restrictions.
I do not think I will be using Kid to Kid anymore. I have a big box of gently used clothes that can be sold of given else where. The most we have earned back was $ 14. That is a rip.

Stopped by at 10 am with one bin of clothes and was told they are not accepting items. This despite the fact that the website says no appointment is needed.
I had also placed a call earlier this week to make sure they need the things I have. Winter coats, boots and snow pants since it’s only the end of September. I was told to come on in! Poor communication. Frustrating experience.
Take your chances.

First time at this place and also the last. The owner was talking about a lady asking to sell her infant swing. She told the lady «well you need to set it up». So the lady said okay. But with no help from the owner or the other two workers. The lady was having trouble so she said forget. As the lady left the owner started making comments. That was in front of my friend and myself! I was so baffled! I didn’t purchase anything because that turned me off and so I left! If your going to run a business please don’t talk about a customer until there are NO customers in the store! Also i’d suggest you change your attitude as well!

Bottom line: buy here (obviously wash and disinfect everything, including toys… who cares what the store smells like) you have to dig, but you can find some really great deals. Jacadi. Janie and Jack. Baby Gap. Etc. Do NOT sell/​consign here. It is not a good value and a bad experience. You’re much better off consigning your high end clothes at Cherry Picked and lower end brands at Children’s Orchard or just donate them for the tax deduction!

Hey, y’all.
I loooves me some drama, but it’s really not that bad.
I went in here expecting everyone to be rude, etc., (like so many people have said) but had no problems.
Everyone was polite to me and do all the other customers who talked to them while I was there. I was in there to buy, not consign — so maybe that’s what the difference was. Anywhoo. Don’t be afraid.
P. S. I came away with five pairs of pants for $ 12. Not too shabby.

I stopped in on a whim on our way back from Natic Mall. They have quite a few larger items outside on the walk way into the store, but I have to say the store is not organized very well. They have items in more than one spot. I was looking at bathing suits and there were some hanging and then a bunch in bins below. The 2 piece suits were not attached to each other and I couldn’t find he bottoms to the one I wanted. I did end up buying 2 suits for $ 3.99 each, which is a good deal. If the store was bigger or laid out better I think I might have stayed longer to browse, but I was a bit overwhelmed so I got the suits and left.

i was so looking forward to visiting this store during my visit from out of town. terrible online reviews, but i wanted to give it a try — as i enjoy these types of stores. terrible! the first thing i noticed was the smell of armpits. yuck. second thing i noticed was a used lily pulitzer dress for $ 25! are you kidding?! that is insane! the racks were full of unattractive overpriced used clothing. i left disgusted and empty-​handed, which for me is highly unusual. i do not recommend.

Great selection and prices! I don’t understand all the negative reviews — the items are in good condition, sometimes brand new, and all ½ or less of retail. I’ve tried a number of shops in the area and this is my fav. If I need a piece of baby gear I can usually find it here. The shop workers were not overly attentive but they were nice.

Booo! You get PENNIES for gorgeous, quality, designer items… IF they accept them, that is. Seems like the planets have to align. Save your stuff for your friends or charity – you’ll feel much more fulfilled. I actually wanted to take the whole bin of clothes back when they made me their ridiculous offer, but I was so annoyed that I spent so much time waiting there already that I just kissed it goodbye. They also have the WORST taste, as one reviewer ready pointed out… they should be far less concerned with the season or size than how nice or what kind of quality an item is. Maybe a greater focus on quality would help them pare down their stained and smelly inventory. I had Kissy Kissy stuff rejected by the boatload, and she seemed to be hoarding Carter’s stuff. Go figure. Not worth shopping second-​hand if the selection is bad!

I have shopped here looking to limit waste– of $ and landfills– but I agree with reviewers about the RUDENESS of the staff– they make the customers feel like they are shopping in a thrift store–
I saw a family trying to sell some items to the store (which the website appears to welcome) and I was embarrassed for the family– the staff had a lot of eye rolling and were acting like they were doing the customers a huge favor–

I visited there with my 2 children today. It was pretty gross. It makes me want to open my own kids second hand store. I know I could do a better job. The toys were nasty. The clothes were even worse. Much of the stuff was not clean. Does the owner read these reviews? No employee approached us to ask if we needed help. It’s basically an over priced junk shop.

I have bought and sold to Kid to Kid for at least 7 years. I reiterate all the negative reviews written before this one. Many of the employees are rude. It does have a funky smell. The clothes are fairly pricey especially when you consider the very little they pay for the clothes.
The «rules» about when they will buy, how much they will buy, when they will buy, what they will buy, when they will «donate» clothes they don’t buy seem to change depending on the employee or whim. Frankly they pay almost nothing for unworn clothes with the tags still on. They are always complaining about how little space they have.
You will feel much better donating your children’s outgrown clothing and toys to a charity. I get annoyed every time I drive past Kid to Kid on Rte. 9.
I do not think their business is sustainable. And I wish they would just go out of business.

This place is kind of a mess. To put it nicely. Its crowded and PACKED with stuff, a good deal can be had but you really have to «dig» to find it. Some of the employees look a bit glazed over like they have no clue what they are doing.

Ew. Walked in on a saturday afternoon. They weren’t buying that day… but it looks like they don’t turn away anything. Anything. They probably should. They have loads of crap. The stuff they do have out is dirty and crusty. I mean, can’t you even take the 3 seconds required to CLEAN the toys you buy and re-​sell?
The Smell… in a word… gross. Salvation army is cheaper and takes care of the stuff. This is like digging through the trash and paying for it.
The cobwebs! how much does it take to dust once in awhile? I felt like I needed to take a shower after leaving, everything was grimy. We bought a couple two dollar items and promised we’d never come back.

Sure a consignment store is going to smell a bit and have piles of take in orders etc.
I thought this place decent enough to make purchases and found the staff alright too. Definately worth a visit to make your own opinion.
I don’t normally shop Talbots kids, Izod, Janie and Jack, or Deux par Deux– so I enjoyed the exposure to the brands. You obviously have to hunt and peck a bit in terms of checking over for quality, wear/​tear, as any consignment. Found racks organized well enough to find the size and gender I needed quickly–
Overall I would say a fine experience and would go again.

This place was really helpful when we had our first baby & we didn’t want to pay full price for the big clunky plastic stuff, swing, exersaucers, activity table. Most of the woman working the counter are helpful.
They had one new worker there that is a complete stress case & really bitchy. I hope she doens’t last long. I had a similar experience where I called ahead of time, made sure they needed the items & then I got there & the woman was such a bitch… If you can’t handle a simple job like that & can give basic customer service, then maybe you shouldn’t be working. She treated you like a criminal & all I was trying to do was not throw some really nice things on the curb… it’s such a waste.
I also have no idea why the place smells so bad. Maybe stuff coming from so many different homes & sitting in people’s basements & garages. It’s gross. I have never bought clothes there. I think you can do a lot better shopping the sales in stores.
The store is packed… to the point where instead of treating people like they can’t be bothered, maybe they should just leave a message on their voice mail that they are taking any more things or only very specific items… at this time we only will look at equipment, or winter jackets… or whatever.
Sad to see this place go downhill.

In a word– ick. Kid to Kid is dirty and their selection is lacking. Most items seem heavily, rather than gently used and the store has a weird odor which does not instill confidence in this establishment. You can find similar prices by watching sales and using coupons. Better yet, hit Craigslist for the exact baby items you are searching for used. Don’t waste your time at Kid to Kid.

«They must be under new management because they got all bitchy»
That’s what my husband said to me after we walked out. We brought in a bunch of things to sell, we even called ahead to make sure they were items they wanted. «Oh yes, we’re looking for those items».
So then why did they not only not take them, but act all nasty about it? Our items were clean and in excellent condition. So many of the items in the store are in bad condition.
We were looking at some of the Thomas the Tank Engine trains. It’s almost the same price as buying them new except if I buy them new they don’t look like someone chewed through them.
They were so rude and nasty to both myself and my husband and acted like they really didn’t want to be bothered.

Not really a true consignment store, more of a re-​seller. They don’t use the typical 30÷60÷90 day price drops that cosigners do. Sometimes you can find deals, and they occasionally have really cheap sales, but i think their everyday prices are a little high. Wait for the itme to go on sale at BRU, Gap etc, and you can get it NEW for the same price as kid-​to-​kid.

Do you want to save 50% on everything you buy for your kid? The newest projections show that children cost something like $ 200,000 by the time you can legally kick them out of the house… So Kid to Kid helps you pocket some of that and use it towards your own retirement.
Like the previous reviewer said, it’s absolutely pointless to buy this stuff new. They use it for two weeks, it no longer looks new, and you’ve wasted a ton of money. Kid to Kid has an amazing selection of clothing, but where they really shine is the used toys. Rows and rows of plastic kiddo crap — perfectly priced and able to make your home look just like a Babies R Us in one visit.
