I always joke that Apt\u00adDe\u00adco was my first baby, and three years ago, my hus\u00adband and I were blessed with our second\u2014our (actu\u00adal) son, Laith. While launch\u00ading a kids\u2019 brand with\u00adin Apt\u00adDe\u00adco was always a con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion, the project gained momen\u00adtum after I and oth\u00ader team mem\u00adbers start\u00aded fam\u00adi\u00adlies. We expe\u00adri\u00adenced first\u00adhand the joy of receiv\u00ading and pass\u00ading down clothes, toys, and fur\u00adni\u00adture as our chil\u00addren grew.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As par\u00adents, we know there\u2019s a nat\u00adur\u00adal cycle of acquir\u00ading items for each stage of growth, but even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly, our chil\u00addren out\u00adgrow them. Cher\u00adished items like that first out\u00adfit or beloved crib hold deep mem\u00ado\u00adries. It often feels wrong to throw them away, so the urge to pass them on is strong. The kids\u2019 fur\u00adni\u00adture that served us well still has life left, and we want oth\u00ader fam\u00adi\u00adlies to expe\u00adri\u00adence the same joy. Shar\u00ading these items feels both prac\u00adti\u00adcal and sen\u00adti\u00admen\u00adtal. This instinct to share isn\u2019t just emotional\u2014it\u2019s sus\u00adtain\u00adable. Pass\u00ading down children\u2019s belong\u00adings keeps them use\u00adful and reduces waste.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the logis\u00adtics of pass\u00ading along clothes and toys is sim\u00adple, fur\u00adni\u00adture is hard\u00ader and more time con\u00adsum\u00ading to move, espe\u00adcial\u00adly for busy par\u00adents. Often, these fur\u00adni\u00adture pieces get dis\u00adcard\u00aded, cre\u00adat\u00ading unnec\u00ades\u00adsary waste. We real\u00adized we could make this process easier.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Par\u00adents have been buy\u00ading and sell\u00ading baby, kids, and teen fur\u00adni\u00adture on Apt\u00adDe\u00adco for years. Brands like Oeuf<\/a>, Babylet\u00adto<\/a>, Pot\u00adtery Barn Kids<\/a>, and Stokke<\/a> are very pop\u00adu\u00adlar. How\u00adev\u00ader, we noticed that kids\u2019 items were hard to find since they were list\u00aded along\u00adside tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal fur\u00adni\u00adture. After hear\u00ading feed\u00adback from cus\u00adtomers and expe\u00adri\u00adenc\u00ading it our\u00adselves, we knew kids\u2019 fur\u00adni\u00adture need\u00aded its own ded\u00adi\u00adcat\u00aded space on AptDeco.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re thrilled to launch Apt\u00adDe\u00adcoKids<\/a>\u2014a place where fam\u00adi\u00adlies can find and share beau\u00adti\u00adful yet prac\u00adti\u00adcal items for their chil\u00addren, all while sav\u00ading mon\u00adey and help\u00ading the environment!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
