What do you do with good quality baby/toddler clothes your kids no longer fit?

I keep nothing. I package it up for st kilda mums. Very occasionally i give it to kinder for spares. The Salvation Army lady gave me a hard time one day and I never could face going back.

Why on earth would a SA person give you a hard time about donating clothes???

Thanks again for all your help ladies. I'm thinking I might sell a few of the almost brand new stuff on Gumtree, give some to a couple of mums from my eldest son's class who are having babies, and anything else to charitable organisations

SA often gets treated as a dumping ground. They get stuff that is not sale worthy at all. The volunteer workforce has been drastically cut in the last thirty years so many stores are now paying for staff. By the time they pay for premises, staff, legal dumping of the junk they cop, and pass it on through sales, their stuff ends up costing more than it would new.

These charities are actually the ones doing US a favour, not the other way around. That'd be my guess.

I am keeping mine as we are ttc again and if we have another girl I want her to wear them. I have sold some though.
