What a used stroller is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for strollers, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £250 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £212 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £162 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £112 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £62 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a stroller
- Recognised brands with strong resale followings
- Clean, washed fabrics with no sun fading
- Smooth-running wheels and a fold that locks properly
- Raincover, basket and instructions included
What lowers it
- Seized or wobbling wheels
- Stained or faded fabrics
- A fold mechanism that sticks or will not lock
- Discontinued models where spares have dried up
How to work out what yours is worth
- Fold and unfold it several times to check the mechanism
- Wash the fabrics and photograph them dry in daylight
- Spin each wheel and check for play in the axle
Once you have those three answers you can place your own stroller on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Do strollers hold their value?
The recognised brands do, because they are expensive new and used only briefly. Budget models sell for modest sums.
What do buyers check first on a used stroller?
The fold mechanism and the wheels. A stroller that sticks when folding is the most common complaint, so demonstrate it works.
Should I wash the fabrics before selling?
Yes. Most stroller fabrics are removable and machine washable, and a clean stroller sells noticeably faster.
