There are plenty of good reasons to dig through the second hand shops for babies and children in Berlin: the kids usually outgrow their clothes very fast, so it's not really likely that the pieces are torn and tattered. Adding that due to frequent washing, there are no harmful residue chemicals left in the used baby clothes - an infinite advantage for the soft baby skin. Brand followers will find in many second hand shops nice clothing items by Finkid, Petit Bateau or Naturino at a fraction of their original price. Also high-end prams by Bugaboo and Teutonia are much cheaper second hand. Many second hand shops offer apart from used baby clothes also buggies, strollers and fine wooden toys. Are these enough reasons for you to go on a treasure hunt through the best second hand shops for babies and children at Berlin?
