This is the first consignment sale I have been too... and I loved it! I went on Sunday which is 50% off day, around 12 noon. I was able to find some really nice new onsies (8), 2 cute rompers, a snugli baby carrier, play mat with arch, 2 towels, 4 toys, a sun hat, tiny mary-janes and a bug net all for $31.36! no crowds and the checkout was prompt. I took my infant in her stroller and had no problem getting around. I will be back for more in 6 months! read more

Lots of inventory in terms of clothing, for big ticket baby gear/furniture try to be among the first shoppers bc the good stuff goes fast. I strongly recommend joining the mailing list to stay posted on upcoming sales. As far as my experience, I found exactly what I came for and then some. The carseat I purchased was not only gently used, it was worth over $200 but I took it home for $45. I also found a small fortune worth of Baby Gap clothing which normally would have run me $40-50 for the lot, I took the pieces home for less than $20. We also had trouble leaving without at least one toy bc the toys/books selection was equally outstanding. All in all this is an awesome sale if you need a particular big ticket item (crib bedding sets incl) or need to stock up on clothing. The auditorium & gym are practically converted into a huge Babies R Us w fantastic prices. I recommend cosigning your unwanted baby/kids items. Advice: be there as early as possible and *cash only* read more

Cozy Tots Kids Consignment Sale is HUGE! The biggest I ever been to and I been to many. If you are having your first baby, this is the place to go for all your baby gear. The selection is wonderful. They have two big gyms, one for all the big baby items, strollers, cribs, highchairs and in the other one are clothes, blankets, shoes, books, dvd, TOYS and everything that has to do with babies and kids. They also have maternity clothes. You can get all the details about the sale on their webpage, www.cozytots.org I find this sale to be very organize. Go early for the best selection and then go again for their 50% off Sunday sale. It is a sale you don't wanto miss if you have children! I get some many great things for my kids there, wooden toys, boutique brand dresses, winter coats, all reasonablely priced! I can't wait for the next sale, Aug.28-30th. Also if you volunteer, you get to shop before anyone else! read more

I just went to my first Cozy Tots sale and I was mostly impressed. It seems well organized and they open the doors promptly. I would recommend getting there early as there was a large line by the time the doors opened. Bring your own large bag for carrying items around that you want. Trust me, you will be happy you did. The selection of items was good you just have to be willing to sift through the racks. I got great deals on name brand pants, winter coats, and sweaters as well as shoes and socks. Some of the prices were a little high, I felt, for consignment. Why would I spend $10-$15 on a used outfit that I could get brand new on sale in a store? I did not shop for baby items per se however I did get a chance to browse around in that room and wish I had known about this sale when I was first pregnant. The one BIG downside was probably a rookie mistake that I will surely correct by next sale. I bought 25 items however when I counted the items on my receipt when I got home I noticed they had overcharged me for 5 items. So a word of advice, if you are getting a lot of items count them out before leaving the check out table to avoid overpayment. read more

This sale is OK, but I don't recommend volunteering for it. Instead of payment, workers who volunteer are let into a pre-sale that is supposed to grant them access to the best stuff. But the sale organizers don't put out the best stuff at all - it's just stuff. And they hold back a lot for the actual sale. I volunteered to work the sale this year (2010) and drove all the way to the sale twice - a complete waste of time, considering I could have just bought stuff at the regular sale. On the way home, the organizers didn't even say thank you after a group of us worked 3 hours for them. Never again! read more

I admit I am addicted to consignment sales, but the only reason I go back to this one is that it is very close to my home. The owner operators have a gruff way with volunteers and consignors that rubs me the wrong way. If friendly attitudes are important to you, I can recommend Just4Kids which has a totally different atmosphere. Some ways Cozy Tots could improve; 1) Preliminary screen to keep items in a state of disrepair off the crowded sale floor 2) Real-time tracking of items sold to ensure total bills are accurate and to pay consignors faster. I always ask for a recount before paying and usually don't get the same total twice. 3) Accept credit cards to avoid the risk of walking around with wads of cash in a crowded gymnasium. 4) Stop the pre-volunteer sale. read more
