As a parent, it’s hard to know what’s safe to buy secondhand. Listed below are some of things on your list that are fine to buy used. Many of us have been raised on hand-me-down’s from our older brothers or sisters. If one was part of a big family, it was not unusual to inherit things that were on their second, or even third go-round. Since family sizes tend to be smaller these days, never used and gently used items are often bought and sold rather than passed down. You can save a lot of money with used baby gear and kids’ items by Selling on Buynuse. Below, we break down the secondhand items that you can buy and use, without worrying that you’re a bad parent. 1. Used Clothes

2. Buying used baby clothes is one of the best ways to save money. Babies grow so fast they usually don't stay the same size much long, and that means their clothes aren't worn very often. And clothes are completely washable. When buying used clothes, check that all buttons, zippers, and clasps are secure, and that nothing is unraveling to ensure that what you are buying is proper and you are not spending your money on something that needs work later on. If something would require a lot of repair, it is better left as it is. 2. Used Baby Toys As you may have already learned, it is not possible to predict what your baby will enjoy. So it is better to take a test drive with second hand toys and board books before you buy new baby toys. Simple toys with few or moving parts, like blocks, rattles, and stacking cups are consistently safe bets. Lookout for loose pieces, missing parts or chipping paint, and leave behind anything with small parts that could be choking hazards. And of course, wash it before giving it to your child. 3. Used Baby Furniture Nursery furniture is one of the very best ways to save money. You can safely buy gently used furniture such as glider or rocking chair, the dresser, or shelves. There are countless furniture pieces you can save money on. You can also make a fun project out of it, for example by painting it. Always check for paint chips, lose or missing pieces. If you are buying a used high chair, check post and straps. Make sure that the chair has a wide, stable base, is sturdy and doesn’t wobble. If it’s a folding model, check the mechanisms to make sure they work and lock properly. And check carefully to make sure all the end caps on any metal tubing are in place and there are no exposed sharp edges. 4. Secondhand Strollers

3. Strollers are sturdy and can be cleaned easily. Purchasing new strollers will empty your wallet of at least a couple thousand rupees. Instead, find a like-new, used stroller for a lot less. Avoid any broken, loose, or missing parts when looking at a used stroller. Take it for a spin to make sure it has a smooth ride and is sturdy. You should also make sure it has its instruction manual and that the brakes, restraining harness and the folding mechanisms work properly.
