The biggest drawbacks to vintage baby clothes is that they are often found in less-than-stellar condition. Carefully examine the clothing, looking for stains, rips or other damage. Some vintage clothing materials and threads can simply begin to disintegrate from being improperly stored for many years.

If your vintage baby clothes are going to be worn by a baby, it is important to inspect the garment to ensure that all accoutrements are up to today's safety standards. Check that buttons and buckles are secure, as they could be a choking hazard for a young child. Also be aware of lead or lead paint used on metal buttons or accents. Also, vintage baby sleepwear does not meet today's fire-retardant safety standards.
