Kidswap is one of the best kept secrets on the internet. We focus strictly on the buying and selling of new and used baby, toddler, and children's clothing.
Kidswap serves over 200,000 page views on any given month, and the user base is constantly growing. As of April 2008, we've turned into a free site to give our users better options than ebay, craigslist, or kiijii. A site that focuses on parents knows how to support parents, and by changing the format to free we're giving you more freedom to sell to your target market and more money in your pocket.
In March of 2008 Kidswap branched once again into Charity swap meets. Our first swap of the year was a resounding success, with all tables sold out and a constant flow of traffic. We were able to donate $250 to the Douglas Park Infant and Toddler Centre in Langley, BC. Our next swap is currently being planned.
Kidswap was founded in 2003 by Shelly Wutke, a mom of three in Langley, BC. Throughout the past 4 1/2 years, Shelly has been profiled on City TV, in the Vancouver Province, and even asked to appear before the Dragons' on CBC's Dragons Den in August of 2006. Keeping Kidswap online has not been without it's difficulties, and as a result Shelly has started work on a book called "Scamming Mom: A frazzled moms guide to avoiding the pitfalls of ecommerce." For more information on Shelly and her book, check out the Kidswap blog.
