Buying a used stroller in Columbia: a quick checklist
- Check the recall list first. Search the exact model at cpsc.gov before you buy — recalled strollers show up in resale shops, and some fixes are free repair kits the last owner never installed.
- Inspect the frame, not the fabric. Cracks, bends, or weld marks anywhere on the frame mean it's been crashed or dropped — walk away. Faded or stained fabric is just a discount.
- Fold it, unfold it, brake it. Do the fold yourself twice, test both wheel brakes, work every harness buckle, and push it in a straight line to catch a dragging wheel.
- Know the going rate. A clean, current-generation premium stroller should run about 40–60% of retail. Prices vary shop to shop — Once Upon A Child Columbia, MO and Just Between Friends Columbia may price the same model very differently, so check both. Not sure which model fits your life? Start with our stroller buying guide.
- Treat car seats differently. Car seats expire (the date is printed on the shell) and must never be reused after a crash — which is why many of these shops won't resell them at all. Buy the stroller used; buy the infant seat new unless you know its full history.
Upgrading? Most of these shops pay cash or store credit for outgrown gear — see how to sell a used stroller for what yours is worth.
