๐Ÿ›๏ธ When Should You Go Back-to-School Shopping? A Baby & Toddler Edition

Jul 17, 2025

๐Ÿ‘‹ Wait โ€” Back-to-school shopping for babies?

Yes! While your little one might not be heading off with a backpack or sitting in a classroom just yet, the back-to-school season is the perfect time to refresh their wardrobe. Whether theyโ€™re starting daycare, tagging along with older siblings, or just need cozy fall-ready clothes, early planning can save you time, money, and stress.

So, when exactly should you start shopping? Letโ€™s break it down by timing, needs, and tips โ€” especially for babies and toddlers under 3.

ย 

๐Ÿ“… 1. Start in Late July to Early August

Why?
This is when most retailers start rolling out back-to-school collections โ€” including baby lines. Shopping early gives you:

  • The best size and color options

  • Access to seasonal deals or bundles

  • Time to plan mix-and-match outfits

Tip: If you see something you love, grab it. Baby sizes tend to sell out fast in trending prints and colors!

๐Ÿ‘• 2. What to Shop For (Even If Baby Isnโ€™t in School Yet)

Here are essentials to look for during the back-to-school season โ€” all practical for little ones, too:

  • Bodysuits: Great for layering and easy diaper changes

  • Sleeve Rompers: Choose short sleeves for hot days, long sleeves for crisp mornings

  • T-Shirts & Joggers: Comfy for playdates or at-home learning moments

  • Matching Sets: Perfect for sibling drop-offs or cute fall family photos

๐Ÿ›’ This season, our store features adorable back-to-school bodysuits with playful prints and versatile sleeve rompers that transition from summer to fall.

โฐ 3. Donโ€™t Wait Too Long โ€” Late August is Risky

By mid-to-late August, many popular baby styles (especially seasonal rompers or themed prints) are gone.
Why it matters:

  • Sizes become limited

  • Delivery delays may affect first-day outfits

  • Less time to exchange if items donโ€™t fit

If you're shopping online, factor in at least 5โ€“7 days for delivery to avoid the last-minute rush.


๐Ÿงก 4. Make It a Moment, Not a Chore

Back-to-school shopping can be more than checking off a list โ€” even for babies:

  • Choose outfits together with siblings

  • Snap a photo of babyโ€™s โ€œfirst fall lookโ€

  • Let your toddler โ€œhelpโ€ choose their favorite tee

Itโ€™s a way to celebrate transitions, however small โ€” and create memories from everyday moments.
