Used travel systems in the UAE typically sell for AED 395 to AED 2,000 (about $110 to $540). Travel systems sell better than their individual parts, because a buyer expecting a complete set will not settle for pieces.

What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with parts still available
- Car seat still well within its expiry date
What pulls it down
- Missing adapters, which are model-specific and costly
- Any accident history on the car seat
Selling a travel system in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
The UAE has an unusually active second-hand market driven by how often people arrive and leave — relocation sales mean good-quality items turn over quickly and often at well below their age.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the car seat’s expiry date moulded into the shell
- Confirm the adapters match both the chassis and the seat
Getting it ready
- Establish exactly which components you have and whether they all belong to the same system.
- 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.

Put in the description
- Brand and system model, and every component included
- Car seat standard, height or weight range, manufacture and expiry date
- Fold dimensions, and all accessories included
Bulky and multi-part, so collection is usual. Lay every component out at handover and let the buyer check the inventory against your listing.
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 AED 1,977 a buyer pays is the AED 1,977 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 the UAE?
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 and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Are all the adapters included?
Count them. Adapters are system-specific, expensive separately, and their absence turns a travel system back into a pram.
What makes a travel system worth more than the parts?
Buyers want one purchase that covers everything. A complete, matched set with adapters sells faster and higher than the components separately.
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.
