IF YOU LIKED IT, SHARE IT :)
Buying a secondhand stroller can be a great opportunity to save money and reduce your environmental impact. But beware: not everything cheap is a bargain. At BUBU , experts in cleaning, repairing, and selling strollers in Barcelona , we give you the keys to making a smart, safe, and sustainable purchase.
What is a bargain really?
A real bargain isn't simply the cheapest stroller on the market. It's one that, in terms of price-performance, offers you the most for the least. That is: a stroller in good condition , functional , safe , and clean , at a much lower price than a new one.
How to spot a worthwhile used stroller
- Technical inspection: Make sure the brakes, wheels, frame, and harnesses are in good condition.
- Professional cleaning: A stroller may look fine on the outside, but if it hasn't been properly cleaned, it could harbor germs or dust mites.
- Clear information: Look for ads or stores that tell you the brand, model, weight, capacity, and approximate year.
- Warranty: Whenever possible, choose places that offer a purchase warranty . At BUBU , for example, you get a three-month warranty.
- Reasonable price: Compare the new price. A good stroller with a 30% to 50% discount off its original price is usually a good deal.
🚫 Avoid these warning signs
- Missing parts or visible breaks
- It is dirty or has an unpleasant smell
- The seller does not know the model or year
- You can't try or review before you buy.
Where to buy inspected and ready-to-roll strollers
At BUBU we not only clean and inspect each stroller, we also offer two options:
- Second-hand store with warranty
- Private bulletin board (no review or warranty)
- Online platforms such as Milanuncios and Walapop
This way, each family can choose how to shop, always with the peace of mind of knowing they're helping the planet and their wallets.
♻️ More than a purchase, a circular mission
When you buy from BUBU , you're investing in a more sustainable way of parenting. A well-maintained stroller can accompany several babies on their first walks. And this is an act of love that contributes to a better future.
