Hi,

I have heard there are some great second hand clothing stores for children near Zurich (East Side?). Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd welcome any good tips around the lake.

Quite a few places in Switzerland have a large sale (sort of bring one day and buy things the next) of second-hand children's clothes, twice a year. However, there are also shops - even two in Wädenswil, though I don't know what sort of selection they have.
You'll probably get several posts from Mums who'll tell you more, but it's always worth a go at Google to find things if no-one is around with better ideas. The most unexpected useful sites come up. Google doesn't seem to care much if the spelling is shaky and I sometimes enter the most odd language mixtures and still find what I am looking for.

Also, watch out for 'kinderborse' or 'flohmarket' - local 'fete' days...

There's one on in Witikon this weekend...

There was a small but decent range of kids stuff at the Caritas shop near Langstrasse a few weeks ago...

I just wanted to get back to you both and say thanks for the info. I'm still searching and appreciate your tips.

Sorry off-topic but the title made me giggle... I thought you were reselling kids

there is a really good second hand shop that buys and sells childrens clothes and equipment in Oberrieden next to the oberrieden dorf train station. Its only 19 minutes on the train from hb
