Second-hand baby & kids in Long Beach typically sells for $4 to $540.

Buying baby & kids in Long Beach
Long Beach combines a major port, a large university and a genuine beach culture in a denser, more walkable form than most of the Los Angeles basin.
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.
What to check in person
Find the date stamp moulded into the plastic and work out the real age, since these items have expiry dates that owners forget and buyers rarely ask about. Check every fabric part comes off for washing and is actually all there.
Collecting it in Long Beach

Denser and more walkable than the surrounding metro, so more handovers happen on foot or by bike than you would expect. Parking near the shoreline is difficult, especially at weekends.
