You only need one set of grandparents shopping at Hanna Andersson and Gymboree for every, I dunno, six toddlers of a given size. You can pass those cute outfits down through a whole neighborhood of 2T's and then start working through their cousins. The stuff is indestructible.

VINTAGE Gymboree, definitely. Anything modern is absolutely junk with stiff plasticky fabrics.

My kids wore a lot of Gymboree… they were the sturdiest. I’d look for secondhand items maybe on eBay or other places like that

Gymboree might be good. I haven't bought in a year or 2, but last time I did the quality was excellent.

Hanna Andersson, Primary, Boden, Land's End/L.L. Bean (great for swim and winter outerwear), Gymboree, Gap, and Oshkosh (older especially on the last 3) I go through Poshmark and make bundles. Sometimes you can get another 20-40% discounts from sellers who just want to clear things out. A bit older is best - not only will the sellers normally give higher discounts (the old 'I don't need a 12mo jacket for my 7 year old') but the quality was a lot better across the board. Carters, Old Navy, Garanimals, Gerber are all cheap enough new that it's fine to fill out a wardrobe, but I typically have more issues with tears/wear/not being able to get stains out.

If you have Once Upon a Child go there and look for second hand Primary, Hanna Anderson, Boden, and vintage Gymboree etc... take your time feeling the fabrics. I recently got a Gymboree shirt for my oldest that I'm confident will make it through all (soon to be 3) of my boys because it's so thick and well stitched. Look for shirts that feel sturdy. Some old Gap and Old Navy will be good too. I've also bought kids Ralph Lauren and Tommy Bahama second hand and those are durable too.

I buy most of my daughter’s clothes secondhand. Older Gymboree stuff holds up very well. If I had to buy only new clothes. I’d pick baby gap: gap kids their quality and affordability are what does it for me.
