Kids outgrow gear faster than most families can use it, which makes secondhand baby and kids items some of the best value listings around. Montreal Daily’s Kids & Baby category connects local parents directly, whether you’re selling a crib your toddler has outgrown or hunting for a stroller before your due date. No consignment store cut, no shipping wait, just families in Montreal trading directly, and often within walking distance of each other. Buying and selling nearby also means car seats, strollers, and other bulky gear don’t need to be shipped, which keeps costs down for growing families.
What You’ll Find in Kids & Baby
This category covers strollers, car seats, cribs, high chairs, and other big-ticket baby gear, along with smaller items like bottles, baby carriers, and baby monitors. Clothing for infants through older kids is common, often sold in size-based bundles since children move through sizes quickly. Toys, books, and outdoor play equipment like small slides or playhouses show up regularly too, along with school supplies and backpacks around back-to-school season.
Because safety matters so much with baby gear specifically, the strongest listings mention the model name and manufacture date so buyers can check for recalls themselves before committing. Twin or multiple-birth families sometimes list larger bundles of duplicate gear all at once, which can be an efficient way to outfit a nursery quickly. Maternity wear and postpartum recovery items also appear occasionally, usually from parents who are finished growing their family and are passing along gear they no longer need.
Educational toys and books for various age groups are also common, often sold in bulk as children move on to new interests. Because many baby items are used for only a short window before a child outgrows them, much of what circulates here has years of useful life left, making this one of the best-value categories on the entire site.
Tips for Buyers
- Always check the manufacture date on car seats and cribs, since these products have expiration dates and safety standards change over time.
- Look up the exact model number for any recall notices before buying strollers, car seats, cribs, or high chairs.
- Ask whether a car seat has ever been in a collision, since car seats should be replaced after any moderate to severe impact regardless of visible damage.
- Inspect cribs for recalled drop-side designs and confirm all original hardware is included and undamaged.
- For toys, check for small parts, battery compartment security, and any recall history, especially for items intended for children under three.
- Ask about smoke exposure and pet presence in the home the item came from, since this matters more for some families than others with allergies or sensitivities.
Tips for Sellers
Include the exact brand and model number for car seats, cribs, and strollers in your listing, since safety-conscious buyers actively search for this information. Mention the manufacture date if you can find it, usually on a sticker on the item itself, and note whether the item has ever been in an accident (for car seats, be honest, this matters for someone else’s child). Clean fabric items and wipe down hard surfaces before photographing. Bundling clothing by size and season, like “12-18 month bundle,” tends to sell faster than single pieces.
Because this category moves through phases quickly, timing your listing to when other parents are shopping ahead, like late summer for school gear, can help it sell faster. Including all original parts, straps, inserts, manuals, is especially important for car seats and strollers, since missing pieces can make an otherwise good item hard to sell. Being responsive matters especially in this category, since expecting parents often shop with some urgency ahead of a due date. Keeping instructions or manuals with car seats and strollers, even printed copies, also reassures buyers that the item was cared for properly.
