Free: Pink Ice Skates, Toddler Size 11 (Near East/Union & Marquette) Pink ice skates in toddler size 11 (also called youth size 11, 11Y). Blades are pitted so probably need replacing, but sharpening might be enough? Play It Again Sports on the west side will do it for $8. And they should be able to tell you if sharpening the blades isn’t worth it. I got these for free, but then wasn't able to use them before my child grew out of them. Easy porch pickup on the Near East side near the intersection of Marquette and Union Sts.

Free: Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 Car Seats (Hawthorne/Near east side) Gifted Two Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 car seats with original infant accessories and manuals (see pics). These seats can be used for little ones from 5 to 100 lbs; they go from rear facing to forward facing to booster. These car seats were made in 2018 and 2021, respectively. As a fellow parent, I guarantee that they are NOT expired (good for 10 years; check Graco’s website) and have NEVER been in an accident. I can leave out for porch pickup or meet you somewhere to drop off. I would love for these to be put to good use rather than just tossed into the landfill. Alternatively, you can recycle them at Target’s next car seat recycling event (April 2025) and get coupons for free baby/toddler gear.
