Kids outgrow clothing all the time, and it'd be easy to spend a LOT of money restocking their wardrobes every time they go up a size.
Instead, look for "clothing bundles" on Facebook Marketplace (yes, FB tends to be best for this, IMO, and/or if your country or region has a dedicated secondhand clothing app or website you like) in your kid's size.
Many times, what happens is parents go through their kid's clothes, and realize a bunch of pieces are undersized now, and don't want the hassle of selling each piece, one at a time.
So, they offer the clothes in "bundles," usually separated by seasons.
For example, "Winter clothing bundle in size 3," or something.
I'm about to pick up like 3 pairs of gently-used pants and 5 shirts for $8. Even the cheapest pants I could get at a generic retailer is like $15 per pair right now, so it's a huge savings, and better for the environment, too.
Tip: Look for "Pet- and smoke-free home" distinctions, to ensure there's less chance of lingering smells in the clothes.
