Baby Beni Highlights! Sourcing secondhand clothing for your kids without changing the way you shop online

If you have kids, or are about to embark on the journey of parenthood, you know the beauty of watching your little one get bigger every day. It’s remarkable to see how quickly things shift from awareness of the world around them to outgrowing the pair of pajamas you bought them a week ago.

As a first time mom and someone who deeply cares about the environment, I had a hard time knowing the purchases I was making had a 3-6 week life-span. I also recognized that as a new parent my mindset around consumption had shifted with a greater priority to focus on ease and affordability.

I know the value of finding a piece you love for your child. There is nothing better than dressing them in a cozy “new” outfit that fits them perfectly. It’s both an ode to you as a parent and to the (literal) growth they are experiencing in this life. So with your mindset, wallet, and environment in mind, here are some tips and tricks to shop exclusively for secondhand garments with Beni:

One of my favorite things about Beni is how it curates an online shopping experience based on products you search for. Rather than just showing me the exact alternative, it will take me on a journey by sharing similar secondhand options that I usually end up loving more. In the example above, I purchased a Zara product through Kidizen, which enabled me to start my next shopping experience there.

In the example above, I ended up purchasing a Gap product through Kidizen. So let’s try sourcing our next score through there! Naturally, we need an adorable pair of shoes to match this fall outfit so let’s see what we can find.
