Just KIDding Children's Shop is a delightful downtown store selling new and gently-used clothing and gear for parents and grandparents to be. It was founded by a Davis mom who wanted an alternative to having a garage sale regularly as a means of recycling her 'gently-used' baby clothes and equipment.The store offers a family-friendly environment with a safe place for children to try out toys while parents shop. They offer a changing table for customers with babies needing a diaper change and a cozy rocking chair for "nursing moms, tired grandparents or bored daddies."

As of June 2008, it was purchased by Dianne Rosner, a married Davis mom with two sons who often work in the shop during Summer and on weekends.

Just KIDding buys almost anything families can use for babies and children (size 0-6) that is clean and in near-perfect condition. In addition, they buy casual styles of gently-used maternity and nursing clothing. Up to two bags of clothing or small toys can be dropped off any time during store hours. They also buy larger pieces of equipment such as cribs, changing tables, toddler beds, high chairs, paknplays, cradles, bassinets, strollers, outdoor toys, etc. on a space available basis. Buyers will call in a day or two with a quote. Sellers have the option of cash or 20% more in store credit same as cash in Just KIDding for up to three months. More expensive items are consigned on a 50/50 basis, with checks issued mid-month after items sold.

With over 20 years in town, the company started as 'Tots Trade Center,' was closed in spring of 2005, but its tradition was continued later that fall when one of the former owners, Debra Minnema-Dingman, re-established it. A new partner, Dianne Rosner, was added in Spring of 2007 who purchased the business in June 2008.

2009-10-19 14:39:36   This store is okay. Sometimes I can find good deals. I still think most of the things are over priced considering this places sells used clothes. The owner can be very nice. When I go there as a customer, the owner is very helpful and talkative. Expect one timew I went in wanting to sell her clothes, but she seemed to be very picky on what she would buy from me. I thought my clothes were decent quality and cute, but she said she didn't want to buy any of my clothes and the owner gave me more of a cold shoulder. In the end, I know it's her business. I definitely felt treated differently when I sold her something as opposed to buying something from her store. I feel the good customer service should be for everyone. —areli00
