Buy a second-hand stroller
A second-hand stroller can be excellent value when a few key points are checked. Here is what to inspect before agreeing, and which questions to ask the manufacturer about safety.
Check the age of the stroller
Ask about the manufacturing date and how old the item is. Strollers are quickly outgrown, so a several-year-old model may no longer fit your child’s current height or weight. If you need a car seat stroller or a model with a lie-flat position, an older frame is unlikely to match.
Inspect the frame and wheels
Check the frame, folds, wheels, brakes and attachments. Look for anomalies: excessive play in the folds, grinding wheels, brakes that do not hold, or buckles that no longer click. Gently shake the stroller to detect unusual looseness.
Check the wear parts
Inspect the padding, seat, backrest, bumper bar and harness. Seams, buckles and fabric parts wear over time. Make sure all original parts are present and functional, or ask what was replaced.
Safety: ask the manufacturer
For any product linked to child safety, check the manufacturer’s official guidance and any recall notices. If an accident, fall or defect has been reported, do not use the product and contact the manufacturer. If in doubt about a specific model, ask a healthcare professional for advice.
Frequently asked questions
What age should a second-hand stroller be?
There is no fixed age, but recent models usually offer better guarantees. Check the age and the model suited to your child’s size.
Should wear parts be replaced?
It depends on their condition. Check the fabric, harnesses and buckles, and ask the seller what was replaced.
Can a product that was in an accident be reused?
No. After an accident, major fall or defect, do not use the item and contact the manufacturer for guidance.
