Used Baby Gear: What We Can & Can’t Accept

Buying secondhand baby gear is a cost-effective and sustainable way to provide our little ones with quality baby items that help them reach their full potential (not to mention make parenting just a little easier). That’s why we created GoodBuy Gear, after all. 

Our aspiration has always been to create a marketplace for parents as trusted as your circle of friends. For that reason, our guiding principle is to only sell items that we would be proud to give to our own children. 

That’s why we accept a wide variety of high resale value items such a strollers, bassinets and high chairs. However, we cannot accept items for sale that are not in clean, working condition. 

Even though we can’t accept everything, you might be surprised how many items we can accept! For a breakdown of exactly what we can and can’t accept, read through our guide below.
