We reserve the right to reject any items that are not in season, in poor condition, do not meet fashion standards, are under recall, or do not function properly. Kidcycle is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
We screen items very closely as to maintain the quality of the sale. Please don’t be offended if we ask you to take back some of your items. It is often easy to miss a spot or tear when you are getting items ready at home. Many of our consignors will also be our biggest shoppers and we want you to have confidence that you are buying the best. We want to be known for having the best quality merchandise.
Items Not Accepted
Items will NOT be accepted if they are listed on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website www.cpsc.gov. More information about the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008.
All Cribs
Cribs have been highly recalled beginning June 2011. They will not be accepted.
Stained/Dirty Clothing & Toys
How dirty is too dirty? If you can see or smell the stain or dirt, it’s too dirty. If you can see that the knees or seat are worn, it’s too worn.
Hooded Sweatshirts with the Drawstrings still Attached
Hooded sweatshirts are highly recalled. Check for recalls. We will not accept them with the drawstring still attached.
Stained/Dirty Equipment
This is up to the discretion of the QC person checking you in. We know your life is very busy and chaotic, but truly, items sell for a higher price when they look like new. So, take out that toothbrush and a little soapy water and clean the straps on your high chair and car seats. It pays off in $$’s. Small stains–but not caked-on food– or big stains on high-ticket, very popular items like baby carriers, strollers, and high chairs are more likely to be overlooked than a stained baby tub or bath ring.
Broken Items or Items With Missing Parts
If you’re unable to put it together in front of us (big ticket items, not small toys), then it’s missing something and won’t be accepted. This includes unfolding and folding strollers and high chairs. Also, if your toys look incomplete, it will be returned.
Battery-Operated Toys Without Working Batteries
We know it’s a pain, but this is the only way we can ensure your items work. This also includes battery-operated swings and bouncy seats.
Underwear, Pacifiers, Teethers and Bottle Nipples

We will be collecting these for our Diaper Drop but they cannot be tagged to sell. We DO allow any diapering item that can be washed for example, G Diaper shells and cloth.
Stuffed animals
Sorry. They’re breeding ground for germs. This does NOT include collector animals (such as Steiff bears, etc.) or battery operated stuffed toys.
