4. Preferred idea: kidwearswap
Kidswearswap helps parents to have clothes for kids that are
always the right size. For a fixed monthly fee customers get a
certain package to use. The package includes clothes for basic,
or customized needs – trousers, shirts, jackets… When the kids
grow and the clothes remain too small, parents just send them
back and they get another package with bigger sized clothes to
use.
