Park It

Baby Posh Garage

All this talk of recession has you cutting back on lattes and getting your color from a box.

As for your investments over the past few years? They’re tied up in baby gear.

Time to cash out at Baby Posh Garage, an upscale consignment shop where you take home 50 percent of the profit.

Opened by two moms in search of an outlet for their own outgrown car seats, highchairs, and strollers, they accept designer, high-quality brands in like-new condition (they also do pickups free of charge).

Shoppers can expect to snap up Flowers by Zoe, Harajuku, Burberry, Juicy Couture, Bugaboo, Maclaren, and Silver Cross, all at a fraction of retail. Plus, local kiddie boutiques unload overstock of new items there at a serious discount.

At last, economy that makes cents.

Baby Posh Garage, 18060 West Dixie Highway, Aventura (305-932-9655 or babyposhgarage.com). Grand opening party, Sunday, noon.
