Chicago's Premier Children's Consignment Event will be held October 14-15, 2011 at 1505 W. Chicago Avenue. The twice-yearly event features thousands of quality, gently-used or new kids and maternity items including clothes (sizes newborn - Youth 16), shoes, toys, books, nursery and children's furniture, baby equipment, maternity items n' more. Not only can you pick up absolutely unbelievable deals, you can become a consignor and have someone else advertise, display, and sell the things that your children have outgrown or grown tired of. The best part is that you will earn 65% -70% without even being there.The Babies, Tots n? More Consignment Event is very organized with items sorted according to type (toys, books, strollers, games, etc.) and clothes are hung on racks according to gender and size. It's awesome! Want to be involved? Register to become a Consignor, Volunteer (they shop first) or to attend the First Time Moms presale. Please visit our website at www.babiestotsconsignment.com for more information and to register. It is going to be a HUGE event!
I was super-excited to see this until I saw I cannot bring Max with me to the presale (not even sleeping in his Moby). Too far from home to leave him since I EBF (no pumping). Too bad it doesn't seem more welcoming to FTM...
Children can attend the pre-sales as long as they are "worn". You can absolutely bring Max with you in his Moby
The "no children at pre-sales" rule was created for the safety of the children. It is a busy time, and people are on a "mission" to get to their choice items first, not always considering their surroundings. Worn children are safe nestled close to their parents.
All children are welcome during regular sale hours - it isn't as crowded then

Thanks, Kristin - that does help a LOT! I understand about crowds - I would never even think about trying to get a stroller into a sale like this!
Thank you for responding!
