Accepted Items
The following are examples of what we accept – and don’t accept – for consignment at Rugrats Resale events. These lists are to serve as guides. We generally accept most children’s item provided it is in excellent condition. If you have questions about an item, feel free to contact us!
​These examples are almost always accepted at Rugrats Resale!

Consignors

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bumbo Baby Seats: Bumbo Baby Seats are accepted provided they have been fitted with the free repair kit as detailed in the recall information posted here.

  • Board Games & Puzzles: Board games and puzzles must include all pieces as described on the original box. Games with missing pieces will not be accepted at the sale. 
  • Arts & Crafts: New or like-new art supplies and craft projects are always accepted at the sale. Please do not list craft items that have been used. 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.
