Shopping for growing children can be a daunting task. Your kids are growing a mile a minute, and they show no signs of stopping. Why would you want to spend much more than $20 per article of clothing when you know your child won't even be able to fit into it within a matter of months? The thing is, you still need to keep your child outfitted in the necessities, and honestly, even the basics can get pricey, depending on where you shop. Kid basics should be cute, comfortable, and, most importantly, affordable!
We've picked out some of the cutest kid basics so you can fill up your cart guilt-free. And when your kiddo does inevitably grow out of these pieces, you can hand them down to younger siblings, cousins, or neighbors. You can even resell your kids' clothing online at shops like Kidizen .
