Second hand baby stuff (?!)

Question

So... As you know there are SO many things to buy for a first time mumma. I'd much prefer to buy all brand new but I hear my friends get great bargains for "almost new" baby stuff online etc. what are things that are ok(safety/SIDS wise) to buy second hand. Also are second hand cots ok? (I know the mattress needs to be new) Any advice appreciated xox

Answer

I would not buy a used car seat. If a friend gives you one and can verify it's age/condition I think that is different. Car seats do expire and they should never be used after an accident even if there is no damage.

Answer

There is this store called "kid to kid" where I live and they sale used baby stuff , it's all in great condition . They don't sell car seats because of safety reasons .. But i think it depends on where you get the stuff , and the condition it's in of course .. But my firstt is still a baby himself and a lot of his stuff was bought used and we haven't had an issue with any of it .

Answer

I don't think there is a problem with it, other then a car seat I think should be bought new. Also drop side cribs are now "illegal" to even donate. So look for one that isn't built like that or buy new.

Answer

I've been told not to buy car seats and cribs second hand. Everything else is fair game.
