Buying baby & kids in Brighton
It is also expensive, which means people live in smaller spaces and replace things more often than they store them.
Baby equipment is outgrown long before it wears out, so it comes onto the market in good condition and in quantity. It is bulky, it is needed quickly, and almost all of it is collected by car, which makes it a strongly local category.

Collecting it in Brighton

The centre and the seafront are walkable and the station is central, so small handovers are easy. Parking is genuinely difficult across the city and permit zones are extensive, so for anything large agree a plan rather than assuming.
