FAQs

What can I swap? Baby clothes for ages 0-18 months (tops, bottoms, onesies, shoes) and toys for ages 0-18 months. Please ensure that all items are in good clean condition. Please ensure all toys are given a good clean to comply with Covid-19 regulations. We ask that participants bring only what they can fit inside of a small box/ 30L storage tub.

How does the swap work?

Each item will be exchanged for a token (1 item of clothing or matching set = 1 token, 1 toy or small toy set = 1 token). Tokens can then be exchanged for an item in the swap. When you arrive at the event for registration please advise staff if your items are grouped or not.

If two or more people want the same item then this will be decided by either a game of paper, scissors, rock or by drawing a name out of a hat.
