Used baby carriers in Australia typically sell for A$29 to A$135 (about $20 to $94). Carriers sell on fit and safety, and the detail that matters most is whether it supports a hip-healthy seated position — that is what informed parents are actually searching for.

Selling a baby carrier in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every buckle clicks firmly and inspect the webbing for fraying
- Confirm any inserts and instructions are present
Getting it ready
- Confirm the weight and age range printed on the label and note whether it does front, hip and back carries.
- Look for any fraying at load-bearing seams. A carrier with a compromised seam should not be sold for use.

Put in the description
- Brand, model and the weight and age range from the label
- Which carry positions it supports — front inward, front outward, hip, back
- Whether a newborn insert is included or required
Brand, model and carry positions: “Ergobaby Omni 360 Baby Carrier, Newborn to Toddler”. Brand and model are the search because parents research carriers heavily. Say the weight range and whether it needs a newborn insert, since that is a common follow-up.
Steady year round with lifts in spring and before Christmas. Popular brands in current models sell within days; older or discontinued designs take longer.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$134 a buyer pays is the A$134 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 baby carrier in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What weight range is it for?
Quote the label rather than estimating. Parents are matching a specific baby and the range is the whole basis of the purchase.
Do carriers hold their value?
Recognised ergonomic brands do reasonably well, because they are expensive new and used for a limited period.
Should I include the newborn insert?
Yes if you have it. Inserts are model-specific and buyers with a newborn will specifically look for one.
