Raising kids is one of life’s greatest joys – but let’s be real, it’s not exactly kind to the wallet and or the bank balance!
From the moment they’re born, kids come with a never-ending list of things they need now but outgrow tomorrow (or so it feels) – from newborn essentials and toddler clothes to the latest technology and trends. But what if there was a smarter way to kit your kids out for less, without compromising on quality or style?
Thanks to preloved marketplaces like Kidching, savvy parents can save big, waste less and still give their kids everything they need – oh, and it’s totally free to use!
Why preloved just makes sense
Ease!
One of the biggest benefits of shopping second-hand online is convenience and ease. You to browse and buy from the comfort of your sofa (or wherever you are!) at any time of the day or night, helping you to fit shopping around your day-to-day schedule – and as parents, we all know how precious and short time is!
Quality, without the hefty price tag
A lot of kids’ stuff is built to last, especially from the higher-end and more popular brands, whereas fast fashion buys are made from cheaper materials that are harmful to the environment and in some cases, to our kids! So preloved doesn’t mean worn out—it means gently (sometimes never!) used but for a fraction of the price.
You can find preloved gems for up to 50% less than the cost of buying new. Plus, price comparison (and cost saving!) is way easier online. In just a few clicks, you can compare prices from different sellers and find the best deals.
With Kidching, you can browse listings with clear photos, honest descriptions and seller ratings – so you know exactly what you’re getting before you buy. Buyer also get additional peace of mind thanks to our buyer transaction assurance. Find out more about that here.
Available items and bundles
There’s a huge selection of products available on preloved marketplaces. Having more products available from a variety of sellers means you have way more options than a single high street store. This makes it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for, and at a really competitive price too. Shopping preloved also means you might find something that’s sold out in-stores or no longer available to buy – plus, many sellers offer bundles at great discounted prices, so you can score multiple items for even better value!
Sustainable Shopping
Every year, millions of tonnes of clothing ends up in landfill – much of it being barely used. By shopping second-hand, you’re reducing waste and extending the life of perfectly preloved items. It’s a win-win for your wallet and for the environment, and a great lesson to pass on to your kids about sustainability!

Our marketplace is filled with items from parents just like you – parents who get it. Whether it’s that one pair of expensive boots that were only worn twice, or a bundle of toys that your toddler suddenly got bored of, every item has a story – and a second chance.
With Kidching, you can sort, filter and find what you need fast. Our app makes it super easy to find what you need, when you need it, without the hefty retail price tag. You can also contact sellers directly with any questions you might have about their items.
