Used high chairs in Australia typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). High chairs sell quickly because every family needs one for about two years, and the sale turns on whether the harness is complete and the whole thing genuinely cleans up.

Selling a high chair 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’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
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
- Test every adjustment and the folding mechanism
- Deep clean the tray and seat before photographing
Getting it ready
- Check the harness. A five-point harness with all straps and a working buckle is essential, and a missing crotch strap makes the chair unsafe rather than merely incomplete.
- Test the folding mechanism and every height and recline adjustment, and check the locking catches engage firmly.
Photograph
- The chair set up, whole, from a three-quarter angle
- The tray removed and the seat, clean, from above
- The folding catches and footprint folded, plus any crack, stain or missing part
Put in the description
- Brand, model and the age range it is designed for
- Whether the harness is five-point and complete
- Whether it folds, and the folded and assembled footprint
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.
Steady all year, with a small lift in the new year. Well-known brands in clean condition sell within days because the alternative is spending several times as much new.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$172 a buyer pays is the A$172 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 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.
Is the harness complete?
Check every strap and the buckle and answer specifically. Parents will not buy a high chair with a missing strap, and replacements are often model specific and hard to source.
Is a missing harness a dealbreaker?
It should be. The harness is a safety requirement, and replacements are model-specific, so source one before selling.
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.
