Kids are expensive, man. From the cost of the prenatal visits to the exorbitant amount you spend on extracurricular activities to the price of proms and college tuition, there’s never really a point in their lives where they don’t push your poor wallet to its limit. (Also your patience, but that’s a whole other topic.)
There’s not a parent out there who doesn’t want to maximize every dollar they spend on their kids — which is why resale items are looking more and more attractive. In 2022, Forbes reported that the resale market was growing at an astonishing rate: 11 times faster than the traditional retail market. It’s the result of a couple factors, such as pandemic-era supply shortages and an increasing desire to go green … but also because parents just wanna save money.
Who can blame us? According to 2022 figures from the Brookings Institution, a middle-income family can expect to spend an average of $18,270 a year or about $1,522 a month on their child. Ouch! If anything’s more painful than childbirth … it’s reading that sentence.
Luckily for those of us looking to stretch our budgets, 4moms — makers of innovative baby gear — has partnered with Rebelstork, the only AI-powered resale baby gear marketplace, with its ReLuvable Collective Trade-In Program. Now parents will have the ability to resell their 4moms gear for credit or cash — thereby extending the life of their products, and getting more bang for their buck.
Parents will now be able to see their estimated trade-in value of their 4moms product with REV, Rebelstork’s AI-based real-time pricing technology, when they purchase it on 4moms.com, knowing in advance how much of their investment they could potentially recoup once their kiddo has outgrown the product.
The process is super-simple: just go to this page to fill out Rebelstork’s easy online form and find out the estimated resale value of your 4moms product. Then download your free shipping label, pack up your item and mail it in, and voilà! — all that’s left to do is spend your earnings, whether it’s credit to buy more 4moms products or cash.
There’s also an FAQ section that addresses common questions like “What if my item doesn’t sell?” and “Do I need the original box?” There are even helpful tips to maximize the resale value of your item, so you don’t miss out on a single penny.
If you’re in the stage of buying rather than reselling, here are just a few of the 4moms products that you can purchase now and resell for top dollar later.
Mimicking parents’ natural movements to ensure maximum comfort when your baby can’t be in your arms, the mamaRoo multi-motion baby swing has five motions, five speeds, and four sounds to soothe — plus Bluetooth and voice control compatibility.
With a safety strap fastener, a sleek and modern design, and five speed options to choose from, this gliding baby rocker will keep Baby quiet and content — while the toy mobile with reversible, removable toys keeps them entertained (and parents can take a moment for themselves!).
The mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet follows AAP Safe Sleep Guidelines to create a restful and safe place to snooze for your baby — and priceless peace of mind for you! Its five motions, five speeds, and four white noise options make it easy for Baby to drift into sweet dreams.
One push open and one pull close: that’s why they call this amazing playard the “breeze,” because it’s such a breeze to handle. Not only is it a portable playard, it’s a one-stop care station, doubling as a bassinet and a changing table. An included travel bag makes it easy to tuck away and take on the go.
The only baby tub you’ll ever need, the cleanwater tub grows with your baby in three stages: newborn, infant, and older babies (6+ months). Its unique design provides a constant flow of clean water, with one reservoir holding fresh water for rinsing while dirty water flows out of the side drain — and its built-in color-coded digital thermometer ensures a safe and comfortable temperature every time.
So to recap: buy great baby gear from 4moms, use it for as long as your baby needs it, and then resell it in a snap to recoup a portion of the cost. That’s a complete win-win! 4moms’ money-saving partnership with Rebelstork resale has you covered during the baby gear phase of your little one’s life. Too bad they can’t help with the “hey mom, I need $20” teen years!
