Can I buy a second-hand stroller?
Short answer: Usually, yes. Check it is complete, undamaged and has its instructions, and look up any recalls before use.
- Check the folded size and whether it is cabin-friendly, if you need that.
- Check the recline and minimum age.
- Look at the canopy and rain cover options.
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.
