My friend's aunt really wanted to give me a twenty year old mattress and I felt like a jerk for saying no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-654214 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:18:29 +0000 loveisstrange 654214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carseat, crib mattress, breast pump and maybe any soft toys or stuffed animals I could wash first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-654210 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:17:22 +0000 DillonLion 654210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything made of fabric that I couldn't clean easily (bed bugs!): mattress, fabric toys that aren't machine washable, pack n play mattress, bassinet, co-sleeper etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-654209 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:17:03 +0000 Silva 654209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do second hand car seat or mattress.<br /> From a stranger/Craigslist I wouldn't do anything that couldn't go in the washing machine or be easily cleaned (I work at a residential facility and am terrified of bed bugs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-654191 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:11:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 654191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car seat and crib mattress. I would have said breast pump, but mine was actually used by both of my SsIL (I bought new flanges, tubing, etc for it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-654081 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:39:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 654081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car seat, stroller, mattress, anything I can't just easily throw into the wash to disinfect. I also wouldn't buy or borrow board books at her age (maybe when she's over sticking everything in her mouth). </p> <p>I'd buy used clothes, especially sweaters, jackets and shoes since they don't get much wear at a young age. But when it's time for her to actually need shoes, I'd likely just buy them since all the used ones are well, used looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-653823 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:24:14 +0000 Boheme 653823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carseat, mattress, anything I couldn't clean easily.

Carseat and crib mattress I would not buy used. I would also wouldn't want a used breast pump but lots of people use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-653561 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 05:45:01 +0000 London Mama 653561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car seat and mattress, we bought a lot of other items used (stroller, cot bed, bouncy seat, toys). I ended up buying a lot of clothes new but that was mostly for convenience and lack of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-653559 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 05:42:36 +0000 Cherrybee 653559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For safety reasons - carseat and mattress. For hygiene or urgh factor reasons - breast pump, nose frida, towels.... I think that's it to be fair, I love second hand stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-653558 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 05:40:22 +0000 sea_bass 653558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably just a car seat. Everything else I would totally get second hand I think. For cribs etc I would just buy a new mattress and use the used crib. </p> <p>Imagine if everyone bought everything new! Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-653557 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 05:40:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 653557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carseat, mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-would-you-not-buy-used#post-653547 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 05:10:55 +0000 MrsTiz 653547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carseats for safety.
