Katy Newton of The L.A. Times has an interesting video report about the
LA Kids Consignment Sale, a biannual kids' used-clothing and equipment sale. Over 275 families consigned pricey baby wear, toys and equipment to the sale, which is a treasure trove for new parents. We like the new father who is sent on a mission to the sale to find baby clothes. He's taking his mission very seriously, as he carefully compares sizes then calculates how much the child will have grown by winter.
It's all part of a growing trend of high-end baby gear consignment. Everyone wants the hottest stroller and gorgeous kids' clothes, but the prices of the top brands are sky-high. But smart moms are finding fabulous deals on gently-used items which are sold on consignment.
The article accompanying the video has some great links for new moms who are looking to find great deals on second-hand high end strollers and other must-have items.
