The Second Child
The Second Child is an upscale children's and maternity consignment boutique in Lincoln Park. July 2021, the Second Child celebrated 34 years in business.

After spending half a day figuring out how to keep storing fall inventory without limiting even more of our limited space, we thought 🤔, you know what?! Let’s just put some of it out now! Why not?!
We’re releasing just over 1,500 Fall items online & in-store starting today with so much more coming after our big Clearance Sale coming soon!
Sale details to follow. We feel lighter already!!😅

2 weeks left until Summer Break for all our CPS kids! Not sure whether to celebrate or cry??? 🤔

That you, Summer Time Chi? 👀
After the tamest winter in recent memory, we’re still out here feeling like we made it through a chiberian apocalypse; what can we say? It’s the Chicago way! 😆
Friends, that stack of bikes we had last week is GONE! We only have this pretty purple stunner left, so never mind this Saturday’s forecast and get ready for when is here to stay. 😎🤝
Don’t worry, we couldn’t think of a good reason, either. 🙃😉
Lots of “new” finds on our, as always, fully-stocked website, friends! Thousands of items ready to be shopped, shipped, or picked up!
Reasons why we should normalize upcycled gifts in 2023:
♻️ They have already been carefully selected by someone.
♻️ They carry happy kid juju.
♻️ Keeps them out of landfills.
Simply wrap them up nice & boom!
Maybe one of these days we’ll start helping you wrap them pretty? New service idea?? What say you, Chicago?? 🤔
Happy Almost Weekend!
