The rule of thumb for kids clothing is 100% cotton especially for warm weather clothing. Cold weather clothing tends to use synthetic fibers to help with insulation but breathable cotton is best for delicate skin and less likely to cause irritation.
Here are some great places to find good quality and hopefully affordable baby items that can be handed down to another child, donated or sold if needs be.

1. Amazon
Anyone can sell clothing on the great Amazon so be sure to use search filters. Search filters are your friend to get to the good stuff if you want to get the quality cute stuff. Don't just sort from low to high and buy inferior things that won't wash well and last long.
You can start by searching popular kids clothing brands like Carters, Disney and Gerber etc.
Filter by 'top brands' to get to some quality pieces. On Amazon you may be able to find quality cute pieces for kids from, at marked down prices, from popular top brands like Adidas, Calvin Klein, Crocs, Juicy Couture, Puma, etc.
Don't miss other little known brands for kids like Baby Soy and Baby Dee Des that have unique kimonos, sleep gowns, sleepers and sleep sacks for babies.

2. Buy Buy Baby
Another great place for finding unique casual and formal pieces for kids as well as sleepers (because let's face it - babies spend many days in their PJs.)
3. Babies R Us
4. Carters/Osh Kosh
Yes Carters is considered a top brand for kids but it may be cheaper to buy directly from Carters in their Sales/Clearance section.
5. The Children's Place
6. Gap/Old Navy
This is a good one stop shop for kids clothing. Definitely wait for their weekend sales and sign up for email alerts to get that 30% off.
7. Google
Google is your friend when shopping for kids clothes and can help you disvover new stores and new trends in kids clothing. Definitely use the shopping comparison tools.
8. H&M
9. Hudson Bay
10. Joe Fresh
11. Roots Canada
Roits is great for all things Canadian kids wear and they have some of the best cold weather accessories for kids and adults alike. Again check the sales/clearance section first.

12. Walmart
Definitetly the winner for deeply discounted kids clothing in their clearance section and especially in store.
Kids clothing is quite pricey especially in a four season environment. So plan ahead for your kids clothing needs and shop out of season. Shop for summer clothes in the Fall and Fall clothes in the Winter/Spring/Summer etc. It saves you more money in the long run.
