Every parent reaches that point. The baby has outgrown the bassinet,
the pram is gathering dust in the garage, and the car seat has been
sitting in the corner since the little one moved to a booster.
You know you need to clear it out — you just haven’t gotten around to it.
Here’s how to do it properly, and how to turn that clutter into cash.
## Start With What You No Longer Use
Walk through your home and identify everything baby-related that
has not been touched in the last three months. Prams, car seats,
bouncers, cots, high chairs, baby carriers — if it’s sitting idle,
it qualifies.
Be honest with yourself. Holding onto gear “just in case” is one
of the most common reasons garages fill up. If you’re done having
children, or if your youngest has clearly moved past a stage,
let it go.
## Know What’s Worth Selling
Not everything has resale value — but premium brands hold their
value exceptionally well. If you own any of the following,
you likely have something worth selling:
– Prams: Bugaboo, Cybex, Nuna, Stokke, Silver Cross
– Car seats: Cybex, Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, BeSafe
– Nursery: Stokke Sleepi, Leander, BabyBjörn
– Gear: Cybex Gazelle S, Doona, Baby Brezza
Budget brands from mass market retailers are harder to resell
at meaningful prices — focus your energy on the premium items.
## Don’t Sell It Yourself
Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree seem like the obvious route —
but anyone who has been through it knows the reality.
Time wasters. No-shows. Lowball offers. Strangers coming to
your home. Payments that don’t arrive.
There is a better way.
## Submit It to LuxiKids
At LuxiKids, we buy directly from you. Submit your item online

## A Few Tips Before You Submit
– Clean the item — a clean pram photographs better and
makes a better impression
– Find the original accessories — cup holders, rain covers,
adaptors and original packaging all add value
– Be honest about condition — we assess every item ourselves,
so accuracy upfront saves time for everyone
– Check for recalls — car seats involved in accidents or
subject to manufacturer recalls cannot be resold
