Jane's Exchange is often described as one of the city's best consignment shops for children's clothing.  The store is so beloved by the community that a neighborhood 11-year old generously donated his Brio train set for the store's children play area, which also boasts a really cool wooden kitchen (made by a local East Villager), and a wooden beaded roller coaster for the littler ones.  The store carries children's (infancy - teens) and maternity clothes, furniture, ExcerSaucers, bouncy seats, carriages, shoes, boots, books, videos, toys, games, and more.

Sellers should call for an appointment - the store accepts only good-condition, gently-used clothes and equipment. Maternity and nursing clothes may also be consigned.

Jane’s sells gently worn—and sometimes never worn—kidswear and maternity clothes. With leggings for as little as a dollar, broken-in Gap jeans for $7, and a brand-new Absorba snowsuit for $30, why pay retail? Be sure to check out the kids’ shoe nook, where you can get deals on pre-owned European footwear. If you’ve got spotless clothes to unload, you’ll get a store credit worth 30 percent of the selling price.       http://nymag.com/bestofny/kids/2007/28919/

Like the mighty Phoenix, the world's best consignment store for kids' clothing and gear has resurrected itself from the ashes of a lost lease. Those who've been on the receiving end of a clerk's stink eye for such offenses as nursing in a commercial establishment, or asking if one's crotch-clutching, hopping toddler can use a store's bathroom will feel like they're sinking into a warm bath. If you forget about the financial transaction, it's almost like getting hand-me-downs from a really friendly, super cool European mom whose kids don't blow out the knees of their jeans the way my kids do! (Of course my kids' jeans were her kids' jeans to begin with...) 

Jane’s Exchange, has found a space in the East Village. After losing her lease in Dec. 2005, owner Eva Dorsey found bigger and brighter digs four blocks away and quietly reopened. A special maternity section and a fabulous set of purple leather chairs, compliments of the Hotel Gansevoort, are ready for the expectant crowd. Kids’ clothing, always in excellent shape, goes from infant through teens. We nabbed a kid-size pair of leather Versace pants for peanuts. — Susan Avery    http://nymag.com/listings/stores/janes_exchange/
