Second Nature is a seasonal subscription box of high-quality, preloved children’s clothing, delivered right to your door. Each box is handpicked for your child’s size, style, and the upcoming season, so you can stop stressing about last-minute shopping and start enjoying a simpler, more sustainable wardrobe solution.

Definitely! Families typically save 50–70% compared to buying new. Plus, you’ll save time, avoid extra store trips, and skip the impulse buys.

We give great clothes a second life. Every piece is carefully selected, freshly laundered with eco-friendly detergent (unless brand new with tags), and shipped in sustainable packaging. By choosing Second Nature, you help keep textiles out of landfills while dressing your child stylishly.

As part of our style quiz, families can let us know if they’re comfortable receiving “perfectly imperfect” gems — like a gorgeous Zara dress with a tiny pen mark. When you say yes to these special finds, we’ll often add a few bonus pieces as a thank you for keeping great clothes in circulation.

You’ll find a thoughtful mix of everyday favorites and higher-quality gems. Many boxes include trusted thrift-friendly brands like Carter’s, Joe Fresh, and Gap — perfect for comfy basics and playwear. Alongside those, you’ll often see premium and boutique labels such as Zara Kids, Roots, Patagonia, and other specialty finds that give your child’s wardrobe a stylish edge. Some pieces are even brand new with tags. Every box is designed to be a balance of practical staples and standout pieces, so your child always has a well-rounded, stylish wardrobe.

When you sign up, you’ll complete a quick style quiz about your child’s size, favorite colors, lifestyle, and clothing needs. Want more detail? Subscribers can also book a free 20-minute call with one of our stylists to talk through your child’s style, special requests, or unique needs. Prefer surprises? You can skip the call, give us just the size, and we’ll take care of the rest — the unboxing joy is part of the fun!

Each box is seasonally curated and may include tops, bottoms, outerwear, dresses, pajamas, or special occasion pieces. We can also include swimwear, accessories, or activewear if requested.

Subscribers receive 4 boxes per year — August (Fall), November (Winter), February (Spring), and June (Summer) — always ahead of the season so your child is ready.

You can order a Top-Up Box (5–8 items, starting at $35) for vacations, growth spurts, or events.

Yes! Add requests in your style quiz or let us know before your box ships — we’ll do our best to track them down.

They can be. Many families choose neutral palettes for easier hand-me-downs, or simply to give kids more freedom with their style.

We size boxes using a “grow with me” approach, based on your child’s age, measurements, and feedback. Preloved clothing often runs smaller, so a 2T box may include pieces up to 4T. Before each shipment, we send a quick “size check-in” to make sure everything will fit.

Just update your child’s size in your account anytime. We’ll adjust your next box or recommend a Top-Up Box if you need new clothes right away.

We do everything we can to make sure each box is a hit. Before every shipment, we confirm sizing, and our stylists carefully check each piece. If there’s ever something you don’t love, contact us right away — we’ll make it right, whether that means adjusting your next box, sending a replacement, or adding an extra surprise item.

Every item is hand-checked for stains, holes, and wear. Only high-quality, durable pieces make it into your box. Occasionally, we come across a standout piece we just couldn’t let go to waste. If your style quiz tells us you’re open to “perfectly imperfect” gems, we may include these unique finds — and thank you with a few extra items in your box.

Yes. Everything is freshly laundered with eco-friendly detergent safe for sensitive skin, unless brand new with tags.

We encourage passing them on to siblings, donating them, or sending them back to us through our Buy Back Program (coming soon) to earn credit toward future boxes.
