Prams, pushchairs and buggies
Also covers: stroller, travel system, double buggy
Can you donate prams, pushchairs and buggies to a UK charity shop? It depends.
Why shops may refuse it
Safety standards for wheeled baby goods change often and shops can't verify a used one still complies.
What to do instead
Local baby banks often take clean, working pushchairs — search for a baby bank near you.
