How to tell if a used stroller is a real bargain? A practical guide to getting it right.

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:

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.
