Ten Ways to Save Big on Baby Gear
Buy used
Garage sales make sense for buying items that often aren’t used every day, such as backpack carriers, a bicycle trailer or bicycle-mounted seat. Consignment stores are often great spots for gently used clothing, toys and other gear.
In general, a used product should either be new, or look like new to you. Don’t give your baby something that doesn’t look safe. Some products, like a car seat or crib, you should always buy new because their safety standards are constantly being updated, so you want to make sure you’re buying the latest version. And whether it’s new or used, check the CPSC’s website to make sure it hasn’t been recalled.
