Kids Kloset is a resale-focused baby gear and children's clothing store in Oklahoma City that operates on a consignment model, meaning stock changes constantly and prices run 40 to 60 percent below retail. The shop carries everything from strollers and car seats to cribs, high chairs, and seasonal clothing, drawing families who need affordable gear for fast-growing children and parents looking to offload equipment their kids have outgrown.
Kids Kloset functions as a consignment shop rather than a traditional resale store. Parents bring gently used items to sell on commission; the shop handles pricing and display. This model keeps inventory fresh but means you cannot expect the same items to be in stock week to week. The physical footprint is modest compared to big-box retailers, with tight aisles and densely packed shelves organized by item type (strollers, swings, clothing by size and season) rather than brand. The typical customer is either hunting for specific gear at a steep discount or browsing to see what has arrived recently.
Prices vary by item age, condition, and original retail cost. A basic umbrella stroller typically costs $25 to $40 used, while a name-brand jogging stroller might be $80 to $150. Convertible car seats usually range from $60 to $120, and standard cribs from $100 to $250. Clothing is sorted by size and priced per piece, usually $2 to $8 for everyday wear and slightly more for branded or seasonal items in excellent condition. Because inventory depends on what parents consign, availability is unpredictable; if you need a specific model or size, call ahead to check stock rather than making a special trip.
Oklahoma City parents buying new gear typically turn to Target, Walmart, or Buy Buy Baby-adjacent retailers (though Buy Buy Baby closed nationally in 2023), where prices are full retail but selection and stock certainty are high. Tulsa-based Once Upon a Child operates resale locations in the metro area and functions similarly to Kids Kloset, with the same consignment model and comparable pricing. Once Upon a Child tends to have larger locations with slightly more consistent stock rotation, while Kids Kloset maintains a smaller, neighborhood-scale operation. For parents willing to hunt online, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist often yield better deals on single high-ticket items like strollers or cribs, but they require vetting sellers and coordinating pickups. Kids Kloset suits families who want to browse in person, avoid the friction of private sales, and trust the shop has already inspected items for safety and cleanliness.
Kids Kloset works best for budget-conscious families with flexible timelines, families who need multiple gear items at once (stroller, car seat, high chair, crib), and parents downsizing after a child outgrows equipment. It is less suitable for someone seeking a specific high-end brand model on a deadline or for families who prefer buying new for health and safety peace of mind. Car seats and cribs at Kids Kloset meet safety standards, but consignment gear shows wear; if you prefer pristine or prefer the option of a manufacturer warranty, new retail is the better choice.
Arrive with a list of what you need or want to browse, since staff cannot predict what will be in stock. Items are organized clearly, but the shop is cramped and requires patience to browse thoroughly. Staff can tell you if a specific item has come through recently or watch for it, but they cannot hold items indefinitely. Bring cash or card; transaction speed depends on how busy the shop is. If you have items to consign, bring them clean and in usable condition; the shop will assess them and explain the commission split (confirm current rates when you visit, as they may vary).
Verify current hours by phone before visiting, as consignment shops sometimes shift hours seasonally. Parking is street-side or nearby lot parking typical of Oklahoma City's retail corridors. The shop location is accessible from central OKC but not situated in a major mall, so plan a dedicated trip rather than combining it with other shopping.
Kids Kloset fills a practical gap for Oklahoma City families managing gear expenses across multiple children or seasons. The consignment model makes it worth visiting repeatedly if you live nearby, since the stock genuinely changes week to week.
