About Middle Child Kids Consignment
Founded by Montclair resident Lacey Triplett Thistle, Middle Child Kids Consignment originated as an online shop in early 2025. It quickly expanded its reach and customer trust through in-person pop-ups at local street fairs and flea markets, including The Montclair Flea and Maplewood’s Baker Street Flea.
Lacey told The Montclair Girl in 2025 that her goal was to fill a gap she experienced firsthand as a parent: a curated, high-quality secondhand shopping experience for kids. The store also helps families pass along outgrown clothing, helping give those items a second life.
The majority of clothing comes from parents in Montclair and surrounding communities. Middle Child Kids Consignment currently has 68 registered consignors, 50 of whom have items in the shop right now…
