Every squishy deserves a new squeeze.

Fidget Trades is the kid-safe app where collectors show off their squishy squads and trade with kids across the US — every trade ships through our Hub, gets inspected by real humans, and no family's address is ever shared. Ever.

HOW IT WORKS

From “I have doubles!” to a new squishy in the mail

Kids do the collecting and choosing. Parents approve everything. The Hub does the shipping — so no one ever needs to know where anyone lives.

1

Snap your squad

Photograph your squishies to build your collection. Photos are screened before anyone else sees them — squishies only, never faces or rooms.

2

Match & make offers

Browse collections from kids across the country, get smart trade matches from wishlists, and check the fair-trade meter before you offer.

3

Parents approve

Every trade waits for a parent PIN on both sides. Parents see exactly what's traded and what it costs before anything moves.

4

Ship with a QR — no labels, no addresses

Pop your squishy in any envelope and show the QR code at the post office — postage's on us. Both squishies meet at the Fidget Trades Hub, get inspected, and ship on to their new homes.

FOR PARENTS

Built kid-safe from the first line of code

We started Fidget Trades because trading was happening anyway — in DMs, in Facebook groups, with strangers and home addresses. We built the version we'd let our own kids use.

🏠

No addresses. Ever.

Families ship only to our Hub, and we ship onward. The other family never learns your name, your town, or anything else.

🔍

Every trade inspected

Real people at the Hub check every squishy against its photos and the CPSC recall list. Not as promised? The trade reverses free — that's our SwapSafe guarantee.

👨‍👧

Parents hold the keys

Parent-owned accounts, PIN approval on every trade and purchase, auto-generated usernames, and screened photos. COPPA-first by design.

QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK

The fine print, in plain English

What ages is Fidget Trades for?

The app is designed for kids, with a parent running the account. Parents create the account, control payments, and approve every trade — kids get a supervised profile with an auto-generated username.

Do families really never exchange addresses?

Really never. Shipping labels are generated by us and only ever carry the Hub's address. You ship to us, we inspect, we ship onward. The receiving family sees a username and a squishy — nothing else.

What does the $9.99 trade fee cover?

Postage in both directions (via a QR code — no printer needed), packaging, human inspection at the Hub including a recall-list check, and the SwapSafe guarantee: if what arrives isn't what was promised, the trade reverses free.

What can be traded?

Squishies and soft fidget toys under about 8 oz — squishy dumplings, slow-rise foam friends, and their cousins. US addresses only at launch.

Is my kid's photo or name visible?

No. Collection photos are screened before going public (squishies only — never faces, rooms, or anything identifying), usernames are auto-generated, and there is no direct messaging between kids.
