Can I buy a second-hand pushchair?
Short answer: Usually, yes. Check it is complete, undamaged and has its instructions, and look up any recalls before use.
- Check the minimum age for the seat and how far it reclines.
- Try the fold, the weight and the basket size.
- Look at the wheels and suspension for your usual routes.
What the guidance says
- It is fine for a baby to fall asleep in a car seat while you travel, but take them out as soon as you arrive.
