Why?
Second hand baby items are often in great condition as they are only used for only a short period of time before a child has moved on developmentally or simply grown. Reusing items decreases demand for new resources and keeps items out of landfill for longer. For safety reasons many baby items such as car seats and prams cannot be accepted by second hand retailers for resale.
