- Infant Equipment: High chairs, bouncers, swings, strollers, activity mats, and stationary chairs are all great items to sell at Rugrats Resale. These items should all be sanitized and function properly.
- Outdoor Play Equipment: Bikes, trikes, scooters, ride-ons, playsets, and wagons are examples of items that are accepted. Play equipment must be clean and in good working order.
- Children’s Furniture: Toddler beds, cribs, mattresses, changing tables, rocking chairs, gliders, and twin size headboards are all accepted. Furniture must not show signs of excessive wear.
- New or Unopened Baby Items: New items sealed in factory packaging or with the original tags tend to sell very well. For example, unopened diapers and pacifiers sell quickly!
These items are generally accepted; however, they require some special attention. If you plan to consign any of the items listed here, please make sure you follow the restrictions carefully.
- Maternity and Juniors Clothing: Only at the Rugrats Resale State College and Altoona events, only in season items, and only properly categorized and sized items. Maternity and Juniors will not be accepted at Just Kids in Bellefonte due to space limitations. Items mismarked Maternity or Juniors will not be accepted.
- Bedding: Used comforters, quilts, crib bumpers, pillows, sleeping bags, and any bedding item that contains fiber fill will only be accepted in the toddler bed/crib size. Twin sized and larger bedding with fiber fill is not accepted. Twin sized sheets and single layer blankets are accepted ONLY if they are kid-themed. PA state law requires that previously owned items with fiber fill be sprayed prior to sale. At this time, the spraying process is too labor intensive for us to accept larger items. For more details, see the spraying section at the bottom of the page.
- Boppy Nursing Pillows: Boppy nursing pillows may be listed for sale. However, the pillows require spraying by PA state law. Please remove Boppy pillows from their cases prior to drop off. You can attach the pillow case to the Boppy with a safety pin.

This includes coloring books with missing or colored pages, boxed craft projects that have been opened, and sticker or activity books that have been partially completed.
- Used Car Seats: Must be less than 5 years old and have the date clearly stamped on it. Consignor also must print and fill out a Car Seat Checklist Form and bring it to drop off. Cars seats within one year of the expiration date will not be accepted no matter how old it is.
