At What Point Are We Officially Ready to Give Away the Buggy?

Because apparently “not using it for eight months” still isn’t enough 😭

Every family seems to have one.

The buggy folded in the hallway.
The buggy taking up half the boot of the car.
The buggy under the stairs that nobody has officially dealt with yet.

Even when your little one has completely outgrown it, there’s still something emotional about letting it go.

For a while, it was part of everything.

Walks around the estate.
Coffee runs during nap time.
Trips to the shop with bags hanging off every handle possible 😂

And then one day, your toddler decides they absolutely must walk everywhere themselves.

Why Do We Hold Onto Them So Long?

For many mums, it’s not really about the buggy itself.

It’s what it represents.

The newborn days.
The routines.
That stage of life that somehow felt endless while you were in it, but now feels like it passed far too quickly.

So instead of being passed on, many buggies stay sitting in hallways, spare rooms, garages, or the boot of the car for months.

A Lovely Way to Pass It On

Lets Match Mums helps connect local mums with families who genuinely need baby essentials, including refugee mums and families in Direct Provision.

And somehow, it feels easier to let go when you know your buggy is going straight to another parent who will use it for walks, naps, shopping trips, and all the little everyday moments that come with having a baby.

Because maybe it’s not the end of the buggy’s story after all 💛
