Even in the UK. Parents don't want to just throw out clothes, with their associated memories, so they try and pass them on.

We bought 6 months of clothes for our son when he was born, and have barely bought anything since, he's 2 and a half now, and has more foot wear than me.




Interesting. My experience from London is, people buy clothes that they never even open, and donate them to charity 3-5 years later with tags still on. The consumerism I've seen is utterly ridiculous.
