Used high chairs in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). High chairs are cheap new at the budget end, so second-hand value concentrates in the designs that grow with the child.

Selling a high chair in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Test every adjustment and the folding mechanism
- Confirm the harness is complete and fastens properly
Getting it ready
- Strip it completely and wash the tray, seat pad and every crevice. Dried food in the seams is what makes buyers walk away.
- Test the folding mechanism and every height and recline adjustment, and check the locking catches engage firmly.

Put in the description
- Whether the harness is five-point and complete
- Whether it folds, and the folded and assembled footprint
- What is included — tray, insert, cushion, spare covers — and any missing part
Brand, model and type: “Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair with Baby Set” or “Folding High Chair, Wipe Clean, 6m+”. Named brands carry real value here and their accessories are searched separately. Say whether it folds and whether the newborn insert or harness is included.
Folding models fit in a car easily; solid wooden chairs need a boot. Give the folded dimensions, and hand over any instruction manual, which parents genuinely use for reassembly.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a high chair in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
What age is it for?
Give the manufacturer’s stated range, including whether it reclines for younger babies or converts for older children. Parents are buying for a specific stage.
Which high chairs hold their value?
Convertible designs that adjust as the child grows, because they stay useful for years. Basic plastic chairs sell for very little.
How do I clean a high chair properly?
Remove the tray and cover, and get into the seams and crevices where food collects. It makes a visible difference in photographs.
