If you're a parent, you know kids grow quickly! That means those adorable little outfits don't fit for very long. My kids are growing up, but they've gone through phases where it seems I had to shop constantly to keep up with their growth spurts--and it can get expensive!

I've been known to check out the local consignment shops (they are very hit or miss) and even eBay once or twice, but there's another option I think you'll love if you're looking to save on baby and kids' items.

Swap.com features baby and kids' clothes, baby gear, toys and games, movies, video games, and maternity clothes. There are over 60,000 items in stock, and they've all been inspected and quality-screened by Swap.com professional merchandisers.

Here's what you'll like about Swap.com vs. eBay or Craigslist:

The inspection, quality grading, photography, storage, and shipping of the items is handled by Swap.com. When you buy on eBay or from a private seller, one person's good condition is another person's poor condition. You can depend on Swap.com to be consistent--you'll know what you're buying!

Even though the items you buy on Swap.com have come from various sellers, they are all added to one shopping cart, you checkout once, and Swap.com ships them to you within one business day. (This is similar to Amazon.) Swap.com wants to make your buying experience fast and easy!

The prices on Swap.com are 50-95% off retail, which means you're getting some amazing bargains! Now's a great time to try the site too, because first time customers get free shipping. And, shipping is always free when you spend $50 or more.

When you buy on eBay (and especially from a private seller) you need to be a little wary, but Swap.com stores and ships your items from its fulfillment center. You don't rely on a private party to mail your purchase to you, and you always get the items you ordered. There's a 100% hassle-free refund policy, and you can return any purchase for any reason and get your money back!

If you've got little ones, or even big kids like I do, you'll want to check out Swap.com and see how hassle-free consignment shopping can be.
