Clothing subscription boxes from companies like Stitch Fix and Trunk Club have been growing in popularity. Now Walmart is getting into the online personal shopping business — for kids.

The move is part of Walmart’s expansion into clothing and apparel, and part of its larger strategy to compete with Amazon.
