Whether you’re expecting your first baby or welcoming another, there are some excellent reasons to buy resale baby gear.

Secondhand gear costs a fraction of what you’d spend on new, so you save money. Buying resale baby gear is also a sustainable choice, giving items a second life, reducing consumption and waste. What’s more, when you shop resale and consignment, you’re supporting a local business, as well as the families who consign there.

Baby Gear Group

Center City Philadelphia and Ardmore

That’s why she founded Baby Gear Group: a library-style borrowing service with the best gear for baby’s first year and beyond. Once you sign up, you can borrow all the gear you need for a flat membership price, starting at $49 per month. You can pickup or swap gear from a Center City location or from Mi Casita in Ardmore.
