WWYD with baby items?

DH and I are 99% sure we are not having anymore children. If that 1% chance of us having a 3rd child happens then it will not be for at least another 3-4years.

We have a PIP, infant car seat, bassinet, strollers, playmats, gates, highchair, etc. Should I get rid of them or keep them? DH wants to keep them because we won't have money in a few years to buy new things. I'm thinking by then I'll want all new stuff because they've already been used twice and what if I have a girl. I hate clutter and if we don't even have another then I held onto this for all that time.

WWYD?

Sell them!

You can always buy new (or used) down the road. People post stuff for sale on the Buy/sell group on FB that is new or practically new for so little $....you can easily get new stuff later if you need to.

I agree with selling them. New stuff comes out all the time so more than likely you'll want new items if you decide to have another baby.

i'd sell most of it. car seats will be outdated and you don't know if your stroller will be compatible with the new seats (depending on the stroller you have). some things get icky when they are in storage for a while (i.e. mats that have been spit up on, fabric high chair covers, etc., even if they have been washed well). with some searching down the road, you have find gently used items in great shape.

I know selling is the way to go but part of me is in denial that I'm done Chat Icon

Re: WWYD with baby items?

Totally know what you are going through. After our last delivery we threw out everything. DH and I were so certain we weren't having any more dc even had my tubes tied. Now 4 years later we are going through IVF to have another. Once I conceive I will need all new stuff! Plus most of the stuff if I had kept it was probably recalled lol!!!
