IKEA dining chairs, worn but some life left (Raynes Park SW20)
These chairs are fairly worn - each has at least one minor flaw - with small scuff & wear marks, a few child art marks, and one of the seat cushions feels a bit flatter than the rest. They have been well loved by our family! But they still have some life left in them. We would have kept using them another few years, but our kitchen renovation is going ahead and we’ll need new chairs for the new room. They’re from IKEA with oak veneer legs and removable, machine-washable covers. You could even use the frames and put new covers on. We have a set of six.

Slide for age 2-6 ish (Raynes Park SW20)
Gifted
Sturdy Little Tikes slide in decent condition - you can see one of the screw caps has fallen off but it doesn't affect the slide. About 1m high and 1.5m slide length. Enormously enjoyed by our children for years, but very much too small for them now. The red bar can be raised & lowered so you can fold it, to make it easier to store or transport. Would fit in our family-sized car with the back seats down.

Toddler carrier, with rucksack straps (Raynes Park SW20)
Gifted
Hasn't been used for years but still seems fine. It has rucksack-type straps and a zipped pocket below the seat. There is an adjustable seat insert for smaller/younger toddlers, before they grow into the full length of it. More comfortable and secure than carrying directly on your shoulders, and more freedom than a buggy.

Child balance bike approx age 2-5 (Raynes Park SW20)
Gifted
Lovely balance bike, very well loved, still fine condition, grown out of. Great for little ones to get used to balancing on two wheels before graduating to a small bicycle.

Wooden case/trunk (Raynes Park SW20)
Gifted
Used for storing legal papers I think, it came with a solid desk to my parents in the 70’s, which we still use. The lock is missing but it’s still a sturdy wooden case and hinges seem in good condition.

Small child scooter with light-up wheels (Raynes Park SW20)
Gifted
Three wheel kick scooter for children approx age 3-7. Handle is adjustable to three heights. Brake at the rear that you press with a foot. When you’re moving fast enough the wheels light up. Rubber on handles is very marked by age but still feels fine (and could be replaced). Otherwise condition is fine, it’s well-loved but grown out of.

Joie isofix car seat 15-36kg (Raynes Park SW20)
Gifted
This is very versatile, fitting a child from toddler up to 36kg/130cm, when they don’t need a car seat anymore. The harness is enclosed behind padding when you transition from harness to car seat belt (both options are comfortable) and head rest can be raised as your child grows. There’s an isofix base and a top tether point. Also side impact protection. It has been well loved and used for years, with no accidents but plenty of marks to the seat & straps (nothing worrying, but lots of snacks!).

Munchkin set of 3 child feeding bowls with rubbery bottoms (Raynes Park SW20)
This set of child feeding bowls from Munchkin have rubbery bottoms, so you can slightly stick them in place on a table or high chair tray. I found they stuck well to a clean surface, without being hard to remove by adults. Easy for adults to work with and pretty hard for toddlers to knock over/drop. I found them brilliant with two very young children learning to feed themselves. I used them constantly at that time, but they are still in decent condition, nothing broken and obviously clean. You can put them in the dishwasher, on the top rack, but not the microwave, because it would damage them.

Tommee Tippee 360 blue cup (Raynes Park SW20)
Expired
This was used twice, tried once per child, but my children preferred sippy cups. The idea is that your child sips in a more similar way to an open cup, without sucking, but also without the spillage risks of an open cup, due to the valve integrated into the top. Some children love them, some don't. It's very clean and in great condition. You can put it in the top rack of the dishwasher and use cold water sterilisation, but you can't put it in the microwave or sterilise with boiling water/steam.

Coffee pot for drip machine (Raynes Park SW20)
Expired
We took good care of the glass pot for our drip coffee machine, thinking it would be easy to drop and hard to replace, and it has outlasted the actual machine. In good condition and offering in case it's useful to someone. It's a ten-cup glass jug with black plastic fittings and metal trim, designed for a drip coffee machine but might be useful as a jug. The height is 16cm and diameter of the top is 10cm.
