Babies grow up really fast, which is especially challenging if having a well-dressed toddler is one of your #lifegoals. It’s a darn shame if those baby-sized Y-3 Adidas sneakers never get worn.
Shopping at one of these Calgary second-hand stores is an awesome way to keep your kid’s closet on trend without draining your bank account.
