Buying baby & kids in St Louis
St Louis sits below the confluence of the two great rivers with an arch on the waterfront that is the tallest monument in the country. It has a substantial brewing and manufacturing history, several universities and a great deal of brick housing stock.
Baby equipment is outgrown long before it wears out, so it comes onto the market in good condition and in quantity. It is bulky, it is needed quickly, and almost all of it is collected by car, which makes it a strongly local category.
What to check in person
Ask directly whether a car seat has ever been in a collision, because one that has must not be used again however sound it looks, and no marketplace can verify the answer. Work the recline and every buckle, and confirm the instructions are with it.
Collecting it in St Louis
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
Driving is assumed and the city is spread out. Older brick housing has narrow stairwells, so measure the turn rather than the doorway for anything large.

Industrial decline left tooling in private hands, and the universities clear student housing each May. The old brick housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market.
Wash every removable cover and let it dry properly before anybody sees it, because parents buy on how clean a thing looks above almost anything else. Photograph the underside and the seat back, which is where buyers expect a seller to be hiding wear. Steady all year; second-hand supply rises as each cohort outgrows a stage.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
