Reviews of Kidding Around

Shaunna Zanker

I have been shopping at Kidding Around for over 10yrs. All 3 of my children have worn clothes from this consignment store. The variety of name brand items is what keeps me coming back. I love that I can get anything from a variety of mixed toys my kids can dig through on our hour drive home, maybe a hardly worn leotard, baseball cleats, and 75% of their wardrobe. It takes patience because they have a lot of inventory. Sometimes I leave with nothing and some times I leave with 6 bags. Regardless the outcome I always enjoy the treasure hunt at Kidding Around! Happy Thrifting!!

I am thankful for someone having recommended Kidding Around to me. I stopped in to get a few items for my kiddo and let me tell you they made my day. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have affordable pricing and a variety of things that I needed for my kiddo. Overall a great experience. I will definitely come back. Thanks!!

I shop and consign at Kidding Around often. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a large selection of quality kids clothing and accessories at great prices. Store also offers great promotions and sales! Love shopping here!

Leo Phineas

Lovely experience shopping here. I mistakenly went to the Johnson Fitness store next door first where a friendly gentleman named Matt directed me to the right door. Wonderful selection for my toddler - will be back!

Jrod K

Fantastic place to find 2nd hand, clean, and new kids apparel and toys! The vast selection of items on hand means you almost always find something your child will wear or play with. It's a great place to shop with very reasonable prices. The toys have all been cleaned and are wrapped in plastic to keep them that way. All in all a great place to shop.

Leigh Boyce

This is my favorite children's consignment store. They have the best prices on quality items.

Shawna Cook

Went in for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was astounded by the cleanliness, organization, and friendliness!! I am newer to Iowa and my mom heard of this place so we stopped in and now I am planning a big drop off of my lightly used baby and maternity things! They make it easy to sell your things and buy new ones for a GREAT price! 👍

I have been taking clothes to this store for 15 + years and could not be more impressed. The owner addresses me by name. The store is clean and organized. I have always been pleasantly surprised with amount of money I have received with each transaction. Kidding Around takes quality items and it is evident with their amazing inventory. The staff is warm, friendly and efficient.

Kim Niffenegger

Great place to shop. Staff very friendly.

Christopher Sheppard

Cool stuff at reasonable prices.I have visited here for years and always happy to do business here! The owner is friendly, welcoming , and helpful everytime I come in! She even addresses me by my name! Her staff is equally friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I highly recommend this store for superior service and very reasonable prices on their clothing for kids and juniors. This store also has movies, books, toys, and other cool stuff to check out as well! Need extra cash? Take your gently used clothing in current style for cash or store credit! Overall super-impressed by this store from service to prices.

Caden Havlicek

Kidding Around is one of our favorite stores! The owner is great and super friendly, she always calls us by name when we come in. Prices are great and the cloths are high quality!

Tim Maynard

Great prices and great services. Would highly recommend

Carley O

A family member told me about this store. They have lots of baby and toddler items and toys. I bought several shirts and adorable dresses today, that were in great shape! The staff was friendly and the store was well organized. I will definitely be going back, and recommending this store to family and friends!

Jena Moeckl

This store is my favorite one stop shop. It has everything I need for my kids. My kids are involved in numerous activities and they have it for a fraction of the price. I love the boutique wall as well of new stuff for pictures or gifts. It's so easy to go in and grab some clothes and then match hair bows with their large selection. It's a huge plus they have a play area for kids too! They pay great for consignment and have the brands I want to buy as well.

Carissa Nagel

This was the first time I consigned at this store and I was happy with what I got. They didn't take a lot, but they pay SO much better than another kids' consignment store which will not be named. Staff is super friendly and helpful and the clothes are much nicer than other similar stores. Lots of variety and very clean. I would definitely recommend trying this place out!

Sherri Friedland

This store is one of my favorites! It is so well organized and clean, and has such a large selection to choose from. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly! I would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for great kids items at great prices.

Taylor Kivell

SUPERB STORE FOR CONSIGNMENT AND PURCHASING OF CHILDREN'S CLOTHING AND TOYS!!! Workers are always friendly and willing to help you find what you are looking for! This store is always full of "like-new" products and ensures that what is put on the racks has the designer feel at a bargain price! Highly highly recommend consignment and shopping! Best place to go for quality and a pleasant shopping!!! Did I mention the store ALWAYS smells AMAZING!?!?

samantha sprague

Kidding Around is one of my most favorite stores to shop at! They have great quality clothing, and deals. Their prices are perfect for a teenager with a job getting paid minimum wage. I highly recommend this store!

Lita Noreen

Love this store! They are selective about what they accept so you can count on high quality mostly name brand items. I love that their inventory is small enough to quickly go through yet they always have the one piece I need!

Christine O'Brien

Easy to shop with good quality clothing and decent prices. You have to check back often if you're looking for something specific. Haven't tried to sell clothing so I cannot attest to that topic. Staff isn't overly warm when they interact with you which is a little sad but it could just have not been a good day or time of day when I came in. I will continue to shop there and maybe get around to becoming a consigner.

Melissa Karp

Love this place, so many great deals on a huge selection of clothing, toys, and baby equipment! The store is very clean and organized making it a pleasure to shop there. Best place to sell things as well - it's an easy process and they give you very fair prices on what they buy. Employees are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!!

Angela Hutchison

I LOVE this store! They have a wide variety of clothes, toys and equipment also. I have shopped here many times and experienced excellent customer service with the staff. I have also consigned with them and they have my cash or store credit available the next day and sometimes the same day!

Cassie Jordan

love this store!! great place to get rid of your kids stuff they have outgrown, and they usually offer more than other consignment shops in the area. also they have a great selection of clothes, accessories, shoes, toys and books for all ages. a MUST if you are in the area.

Mara Lorber

Love this store! Very friendly staff and great service! The store is well organized and welcoming. When consigning, they take all seasons year round, and it doesn't take long at all for them to go through items. You'll definitely get the most out of your items by consigning here. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Megan A

This offers the highest quality in brand and condition of any of the consignment stores I've been to in the metro. It is the only one I bother going to anymore. Also as many retail places start to fade away it's one of the few places to buy maternity clothes in store!

Lejla Mehmedovic

First time being in the shop last week and it was a brand new experience for me. I had the pleasure of meeting Mary as I was shopping. She was able to guide me through the store and helped me with check out! Will definitely be going back!

Mitchell Bilitz

Great place to look for clothes. Good selection. They don’t just have clothes! There’s toys-dolls-baby items and my favorite is the fantastic selection of Korkin Krazy bows (every color/team/Holidays). Staff is friendly.

Summer LeLaCheur

Love this place! They pay way more for my items than other places, they have a great selection of items in LIKE NEW condition, and they also ha e a huge selection of NEW hairbows and other boutique items usually only found at high end stores and Esty, but for a fraction of the cost. Would defiantly recommend.

It is also filled with the most amazing women. Jenny always greets me and asks how I am doing. They are always helpful and I can't say enough kind words about this store and their employees. It is a gem here in Des Moines! I love Kidding Around!

Kaye Hahn

I absolutely LOVE this store! The staff is AMAZING, the prices are very reasonable and all the items are taken very good care of. As a single mom I could not afford to give my child this quality of clothing at a box retail store and their prices. I love their donation program and store credit option. I look forward to every visit. Must shop for children's clothing!

Alan Kress

Great prices and great and friendly customer service! I will gladly continue to shop there and I encourage others to do so as well. 5 Stars!
