A website where you can get gently-used baby, kid, and maternity items like clothing, high chairs, bouncers, swings, bikes, and toys for free from other parents who have finished with them. It's also a way to get rid of baby cast offs without having to load up the car (and the kids) and take them to the thrift store.

The first 100 Offers listings will be entered in a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift certificate! The more you offer, the better your chances to win!


I'm in the Chicago forum which opened today. We've already got 2 offers out there! This site is similar to freecycle and craigslist, but limited to baby/child/maternity stuff and everything is FREE and gently used. See you there!

Let me know (here) if you've signed up, and for which city!

[lhart24]

How far away from the city can I be to sign up... for example I am about 2 hours south of chicago... so can I sign up??

[mandiedq]

I'm sure you can sign up...the question is: would you be willing to drive to wherever to pick up something free? I live an hour west of the city (well, depending on traffic) and I signed up!

[mandiedq]

I suppose, depending on what the item is, there may be an opportunity to convince someone to ship it to you, too!

[lhart24]

Awesome.. thanks for the info

[mandiedq]

No problem.
There is already free formula on the Chicago forum!

[katjim00]

Registered for the Houston area. Already 9 offers and 3 wishes on there just from today. Thanks for the great post

[mandiedq]

Great! The Chicago forum has the following freebies already:
Girl sleepers
diapers
similac formula
enfamil formula
Baby bottles
Coupons for local store for $$ off Johnsons and Enfamil

There are also several posts on the "local deals and sales" section!

Not bad for less than 24 hours of being online!!

[liv&natsmom]

Wow! Hoping we get one here soon.. I am tired of the CRAP I have to deal with on craigslist.. I did the email thing

[mandiedq]

Be sure, then, to register for an e-mail notification. I *think* that helps determine the demand for a freepeats location to open up in different areas!

[slskelding]

This is nice, my only problem is Atlanta is 4 hours away. They need to add more cities so I can get on!!
