Used high chairs in Sydney 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 Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest city and its most expensive to live in, which pushes people into smaller flats and shorter tenancies than the house-and-garden stereotype suggests. That makes furniture that fits a small apartment, and anything to do with the harbour and the beaches, the two things that move most reliably.
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
Confirm access and parking before agreeing to collect anything large. Between the terraces, the apartment blocks and the permit zones, where a vehicle can actually stop is the thing that decides most furniture sales here.
Sydney has around 5.3 million people in New South Wales, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Newcastle, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Sydney
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What high chairs are worth
What lifts the price
- Removable, dishwasher-safe trays and washable covers
- Complete with harness, tray and footrest
What pulls it down
- Stained or cracked trays
- Basic plastic chairs, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the harness is complete and fastens properly
- 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 harness laid out, showing all straps and the buckle
- The folding catches and footprint folded, plus any crack, stain or missing part
Put in the description
- Whether the harness is five-point and complete
- What is included — tray, insert, cushion, spare covers — and any missing part
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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a high chair in Sydney?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
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.
How much is a high chair worth in Sydney?
Most used high chairs change hands for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Condition and completeness move that figure more than anything else.
