Is it safe to swap second-hand prams and pushchairs?

Check the frame, brakes, and any recall notices for the specific model before listing or accepting one — prams get heavy daily use, so mechanical condition matters more here than cosmetic wear.

Should I swap baby gear that's approaching or past its recommended age limit?

Always check the manufacturer's safety guidance for items like car seats and cot mattresses — some baby equipment (particularly car seats) shouldn't be reused past a certain age or after any impact, regardless of how good it looks.

Do baby items need to be sterilised before swapping?

Anything that goes in a baby's mouth (bottles, dummies, teething toys) should be sterilised before handover; clothing and soft goods should be freshly washed, same as any other clothing swap.

What details help other parents most when swapping prams or gear?

Model name, age/stage it's suitable for, and any missing parts (rain covers, straps, wheels) — parents are usually shopping against a specific need, so vague listings get skipped over.
