    Clothing Requirements:

    • Freshly laundered (preferably in an unscented detergent).
    • Children’s dress clothing should be on hangers.
    • Children’s items not on hangers should be placed flat in a tote or laundry basket to minimize any wrinkles.
    • Free of any stains, holes or excessive wear.
    • All buttons, snaps and zippers in working order and closed.
    • Children’s shoes should be like new. They must be free of scuff marks and no excessive wear.
    • Career maternity clothing should be wrinkle free and on hangers, otherwise folded neatly in a tote.

    All items should be in ready to sell condition when you bring them in.  For this reason we cannot accept clothing in garbage bags. When selecting items for consignment, ask   yourself if they are  in the condition in which YOU would like to buy them yourself.
     

    Toys
      
     
    We are looking for good-quality toys for infants, elementary school-age children, and everything in between.
     
    Toy Requirements:

    • In like-new condition, clean and in good working order.
    • Toys with multiple parts should not be missing any pieces.
    • Battery-operated toys should have working batteries installed.
    • If you have the original packaging, please bring it in.

    Gear
      
     
    Strollers, backpack carriers, high chairs, bouncy seats, saucers, etc. should be thoroughly cleaned and in resale ready condition before they are brought in. Please check the wheels of the strollers for excess dirt etc. and make sure fabric is free of noticeable stains.
     
    Think about how you would like for an item to look if you were going to purchase it.  Remember that the better your items look the more appealing they are to potential buyers and the greater your opportunity to receive top dollar.
     
    Due to safety and liability concerns, we cannot accept or trade in second hand car seats.


    Nursing Gear
     
     
    We also accept a variety of nursing items. We will accept used breast pumps for consignment as long as they are classified as CLOSED SYSTEM hospital-quality only.  Closed System means that it is impossible for the milk to reach the motor hence they are safe to be used by multiple mothers.   The following pumps are designed to be used by multiple users:
     

    • Hollister Elite Hollister Lact-e
    • Hollister SMB Breast Pump
    • Medela Classic Breast Pump
    • Medela Lactina Breast Pump
    • Medela Symphony Breast Pump
    • Bailey Nurture III

    If your pump is not on this list please consult the operating instructions or the original packaging.  Anything labeled as “Single User” (or if it cannot be determined) will not be accepted due to health concerns.
     

    Nursery and Children’s Furnishings


    Cribs, changing tables, playpens, dressers, lamps, nightlights, mobiles, monitors and crib bedding sets will all be accepted if in excellent condition and provided they meet all current safety standards.  Please call ahead for larger items to check for space availability.
     
          

    • All gear and cribs should be of current style and meet all current safety standards.
    • Whenever possible, please include the owner’s manual and assembly instructions. 
    • Cribs must be pre-assembled in shop for inspection. If you are not able to transport your crib assembled, we will provide the space, tools, and assistance if necessary.
    •  Baby gear is often recalled for minor problems. Please do a quick recall search before bringing items in to save you the trouble transporting them in the event there has been a recall. You can do a search on the Consumer Product Safety Commission web site: http://www.cpsc.gov/
