Dressing up the children seems to be a trend not only among celebrity parents but also regular parents that want their children to be part of the fashion trend. This trend has become an advantage point for luxury houses as they have expanded their lines to include designer toddler clothes.

Companies such as Ralph Lauren have started offering children's pieces for years now, while some other companies such as Versace and Lanvin have opened their doors to designer toddler clothes late this year. The money spent on designer toddler clothes have reached to about $800 million in just a 12-month period. According to the NPD Group Inc. Consumer Tracking service, most people are no longer buying top homes and cars. Now, people are continuing to splurge on designer baby clothes and designer toddler clothes.
