What sells here
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.
Prams, travel systems, nursery furniture and bundles of clothing. Parents buy second-hand heavily because everything is outgrown so fast.
Typical CAD price range
Guide range for used baby & kids on WishThrift: C$6 to C$755 (approximately $4 to $540), depending on condition, brand and completeness. Safety-critical items are the exception to everything else in this category: car seats, cots and carriers should not be passed on if damaged, at any price.
Guide ranges in CAD with an approximate US dollar equivalent; WishThrift lists in CAD here and sellers set their own price.
What listings are live in Canada
Nobody has listed baby & kids in Canada yet. That is worth knowing rather than glossing over — it also means the next person to list one has no competition. See baby & kids listed everywhere, or everything currently live in Canada.
How buying and handover works
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 Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Condition is seller-described against five grades and nobody inspects it for you — what each means. Manufacture date and model number, moulded into the plastic or on a label under the seat, and the recall lists, which are free to search.

The baby & kids that come up most often, with the guide range each one sits in:

The commonest mistake sellers make here: Not finding the manufacture date. It is moulded into the plastic or on a label under the seat, and for most of this category it is the first thing a buyer asks.

Frequently asked questions
Is WishThrift free in Canada?
Yes. Free to list, no commission, and no buyer-protection fee on either side — you keep the full amount the buyer pays you.
How do I pay the seller?
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. WishThrift does not process payments or hold funds, so the money goes directly between the two of you — agree the method in the messages before you meet.
Can I sell baby & kids from anywhere in Canada?
Yes. You set your own location and whether you are offering collection, postage or both. Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
