Located on W. Arbrook, one block east of S. Cooper.

A large variety of gently-worn clothes, many name brands.

Too sweet! Pretty petticoats and wings for your angel.

Whether you’re looking for kids’ clothes, toys, shoes, school uniforms, baby equipment…heck, even maternity wear…you can buy or sell it (and save lots of money) by visiting Kid to Kid.

It’s a common quandary for parents: your child quickly outgrows his/her clothes or toys. Why not sell it to Kid-to-Kid in exchange for cash or store credit? You can buy a new outfit or pair of shoes in the correct size and pay less than what you would pay at the shopping mall.  And these are brand name items.

But Kid to Kid has so much more than clothes for re-sale (including cute little petticoats and leotards and angel wings!).

A wide variety of toys and equipment was in better condition than I expected. During my visit, here are some examples of gently used equipment including: high chairs (e.g., Evenflo, $44.99), potty chairs ($9.99), bathtubs ($5.99 to $11.99), strollers, bouncers, baby swings (Graco $44.99), car seats ($59.99) and booster seats.

I was happy to see so such a large selection of shoes for retail (kids’ feet grow way too quickly to keep paying retail prices!!!!). And I was really glad to see that we can buy (and sell) maternity wear. What a great idea! My old maternity clothes sat in the back of a closet until my cousin got pregnant and needed to borrow them. Hand-me-downs are fine, but not as cool as cash!

Here’s something really important: this location of Kid to Kid boasts a huge section for SCHOOL UNIFORMS available YEAR-ROUND!!!!!

Parents from across Texas come here specifically to buy school uniforms. According to store owner, Debbie, customers have come in the summer from Lubbock and Abilene to buy uniforms which, apparently, are often not available year-round. It’s also common for parents from North Texas cities like Crowley or Kennedale or DeSoto to shop at her store for school uniforms.

Debbie also said that her Arlington store has been the #1 performer among all 75 Kid-to-Kid franchises world-wide (including Portugal) for six consecutive years, thanks in part to the large selection of school uniforms.

Yes, the store carries new items, too (we wouldn’t want a used pacifier!!!). And gift certificates are available. Why not give that as a gift for a baby shower or other type of gift? Then the mom-to-be of child could get a lot more items for a reduced price.

So bottom line overall for clothes/toy/equipments: If you’re selling or buying (or both), stop by Kid to Kid to see how much money you can earn/save.

If you’re looking to sell, call ahead (817 468-1995) to schedule an appointment. A computer program helps the store appraise your kids’ stuff. The amount of money is determined by the brand, style, condition, and demand for the items. You can go for cash, but if you opt for store credit you get up to 20% more.

Any clothing you sell should be freshly laundered and pressed with no stains or holes or missing buttons. Toys and baby equipment should be clean and in good working order.
