I have a single jogging stroller and a large-ish baby swing that will no longer work for us- both are in good condition, but not so great that I can resell them easily since there are lots of great consignment stores with cheap used baby stuff and they are picky about what they take. My local GoodWill won't take "baby items that are often recalled". Where can I (quickly) give this stuff away and make sure that it goes to someone who needs it and will actually use it? Definitely do not want to throw it away!!

Stroller: Do you have a local Moms Run This Town chapter? I would join that and see if you can find someone there who needs it. That's how I got my double Bob (I traded my single for it).
Swing: I donated my bouncer/walker/etc. to our daycare center. I don't anticipate needing them with our second and I did it so long ago because we have such a small house.

You could "freecycle" them. Check to see if there is a Facebook group in your area. Women's shelters often accept items like this, too!

Do you have a local buy nothing group? You can check on Facebook. We've given away a few baby things and also received some great items.

We donate all our old used stuff to a woman/children shelter.

Local domestic violence shelter?

Buy Nothing!
-
Maybe post to a local classifieds Facebook page?
-
Are you apart of any local mom resell or swap groups? I'm sure if you posted it there someone would take it.
The other option is your local buy nothing or Craigslist.
