FAQs

Kids2kids Pre-loved is a family-run, Solihull-based business specialising in high-quality preloved children's clothing (up to 10y), toys and baby items.

We carefully check everything we sell to make sure it's clean, safe and in great condition- because we know how important quality is when it comes to little ones.

Our aim is simple: To normalise preloved shopping- this helps families save money, reduces waste and gives children's items a second life, all while offering a friendly, personal service you can trust.

Shopping preloved means you’re getting high-quality items at a fraction of retail prices, while also making a sustainable choice for the planet. It’s a win-win—you save money, reduce waste, and support a local, community-focused business.

Most of our clothing comes
from local families selling to us! We sort, weigh, and offer shop credit in return, which can be spent on clothing,
shoes, toys, baby equipment, and accessories.

We also receive generous
donations, which we’re always grateful for! Every donation helps keep quality clothing in circulation, reducing waste and
supporting families looking for affordable, sustainable options.

Yes, we do! No appointment needed—just drop them off in-store. Every donated item is sorted and given a second life, whether it’s sold in-store or passed on to families who need it. Donations help us keep our prices low, provide a bigger selection for families, and make sustainable shopping even more accessible.

Yes! We buy good-quality
children’s clothing in a quick,
hassle-free way.

✅ How it works:

1️⃣ Book an appointment –
Message us on Facebook or email Kids2KidsPreloved@hotmail.com

2️⃣ Bring your items –
We check, sort, and weigh them

3️⃣ Get shop credit –
Use it for clothing, toys, shoes, or baby equipment straight away
or on future visits

Appointments help us manage space, time and your items properly.

When we buy bundles, those items need to be kept seperate, sorted and stored carefully, which takes space and time. Unlike donations that can go straight into storage, selling bundles needs a bit more organisation behind the scenes.

As we're usually running the shop with just one member of staff at a time, appointments help us stay organised and give your items the attention the deserve.

Our dream is to be able to accept items without appointments in the future- but for now, this system helps everything run smoothly and fairly for everyone.

Take the hassle out of selling your outgrown kiddies' clothes and sell in one go with Kids2Kids Preloved.

Here's a quick guide to what we accept and how it works, so you know exactly what to expect before booking an appointment.

What items do we buy?

We currently accept girls & boys clothing and footwear of any brand- First Size to 10 years.
