Spring is officially here, which means “Goodbye, snowsuits!” and “Hello, rain gear!” Changing seasons equals wardrobe changes, which can clutter closets and strain credit cards. So why not save space and money by visiting a consignment shop for children’s wear? Second-hand shopping can refresh your kid’s wardrobe, unload too-small clothes (putting $ back in your pocket), and is reuse and recycle friendly. Here’s a list of our favourite Toronto consignment shops for kids’ wear:
