I found this site and have been a member for over a year now. I have gotten so many wonderful things for my kids by trading their unused items. Its a great way to recycle what they have grown out of.
Right now, they are hosting a new member drive, so please check it out. You can use my referral code, but its not necessary. It’s free to join and no money is ever involved. My Referral Code is 657A7E2B

As an active user of swapbabygoods.com, I highly recommend it to new moms. All the moms are very freindly.

Nunya: It was first of its kind when it was started initially a couple of years ago, I know there are a couple more new ones as of now. But I like this original one best.

My 2 year old son seems to be going through so many clothes that we wouldn’t be able to go through them all. That site is great to be able to swap clothes. I can’t wait.

There’s also freepeats, at http://www.freepeats.org/.

You could also try http://www.handmedowns.com – but the web site seems to be having problems at the moment.

Not a swapping web site, but perhaps also worth noting: the Once Upon a Child stores, at http://www.ouac.com/aboutus.aspx.

My only kids are the furry four-legged kind, but that website really is such a good idea I’m surprised that it “is the first of its kind.”

It is my family tradition to swap baby items, even if money is not an issue. For generations, we believe that it is a blessing to get belongings from another healthy baby. (To absorb the good mojo?)

I think Zwaggle.com is pretty similar. They both look promising.

Our local Freecycle has been full of baby clothes requests for a family that just lost everything in a fire. If you keep an eye on your local news, you could be a huge help to someone in desperate need.

Some social networking sites have in-house swap groups and used sales groups. There are a bunch on LiveJournal, and I think The Knot has some as well.

Generally they are an extension of the “social” aspect, so they usually prefer to deal with known, long-term members. It’s worth a look, though.

My son’s clothing was passed along to my daughter (assuming it was not boy specific). My daughters stuff was passed on to her cousin. Within the family and circle of friends/coworkers someone was always having a baby and we could pass stuff along. Once my daughter out-grew her crib we found a local family who needed a crib for a child they were adopting. We made new friend and were able to help out someone in need. We’ve never had a need for any of these sites.

Freepeats is another one.
