Used baby carriers in Canberra 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 Canberra
Canberra is a planned government city with high average incomes, a large public service and two universities. People here replace things while they still have plenty of life left in them, so the second-hand quality is unusually high relative to the price asked.
The city was designed around driving and is organised into distinct town centres, so naming which one you are near saves everyone a long trip. Parking is plentiful and free in most places, which makes collecting large items easy.
On office furniture, check the gas cylinder and the mechanism. A lot of very good chairs come onto the market here looking barely used, with the one expensive part already worn out.
Canberra has around 460,000 people in Australian Capital Territory, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Canberra
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

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.

Are all the buckles sound?
Test each one and photograph them fastened. A cracked buckle on a carrier is a safety failure, not a cosmetic one, and it must never be sold as usable.
