Used travel systems in Australia typically sell for A$155 to A$765 (about $110 to $540). A travel system is only worth its premium if every component is present, so count the pieces first — pram, carrycot, car seat and adapters — and price accordingly.

Selling a travel system 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.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
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
- Lay out every component and photograph them together
- Confirm the adapters match both the chassis and the seat
Getting it ready
- Check the car seat element carefully: its expiry date, and whether it has ever been in a collision. If it has, do not sell it for use.
- Wash the fabrics, test the fold, the brake and every attachment click.
Photograph
- All components laid out together in one frame
- The car seat with its expiry date stamp visible
- The adapters, raincover and every accessory included
Put in the description
- Brand and system model, and every component included
- Car seat standard, height or weight range, manufacture and expiry date
- Whether the car seat has ever been in a collision, and whether you are the original owner
Brand, model and what is included: “Silver Cross Wave Travel System — Pram, Carrycot, Car Seat and Adapters”. Listing every component in the title is what separates a travel system price from a pram price. State the car seat expiry year in the description.
Consistently strong. Complete systems from recognised brands sell within days; incomplete ones sell as prams for considerably less.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$767 a buyer pays is the A$767 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 travel system 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 car seat safe to use?
Answer directly. If it has been in any collision, or if you cannot vouch for its full history, say so — a compromised seat should not be sold for use whatever it looks like.
Do the adapters really matter?
A great deal. They are model-specific, expensive to buy alone, and without them the car seat will not fit the chassis.
Can I sell the car seat with it?
Only if you know its full history and it is within its expiry date. A seat that has been in a collision should never be resold.
