single mom seeking ! cheap second-hand articles(swing,high chair,clothes and toys. )for my 6 month old in the vicinity of lake zurich.(do not have a car so pick up would have to be at a train/bus station)have tried "brockenhaus","chinderbörse"ricardo & ebay,sadly either there was nothing to buy or it didn`t fit or postage fees made the price exuberant.greetings and thanx for all tips & hints .

jaxch

suggest you add "second hand baby gear [Zürich]" to thread title.

Have you tried joining any of the yahoo groups like Expats Moms, SwissSwapandShop, or Expats in Zurich? There is also the xpatchange forum. You didn't mention any of these in your search though quite possibly you know of them.
If you can manage in German, you could also try the following sites:
www.piazza.ch
www.gratis-inserate.ch

In both cases you can narrow your search to a postal code or area.
Good luck.

Do you have a boy or a girl?

thanx for the edit ,spent the last 20 min trying to change the headinglittle baby boy.

I have some things you could have, but i am near St.Gallen, and don`t know when i will be next in zurich, if you do not need the things right now then i can save them for you the next time i am in Zurich.

that would be really awesome,please let me know what you have and what your asking price is ? next time i can borrow a car,or someone i know is out that way,they can pick it up.thank you soo much . jackie

I have a chicco high chair, clothes, toys, baby carrier, teddys, baby bouncer, and probably more that i cannot think of at the moment, do you need a car seat if so you can have that for free, at the moment it is in Meilen, at a friends of mine. If you can borrow a car then come over, you can see what i have then you can make me an offer, i will not expect to much, as being a single mum is hard so just a few pennies will be ok

Hello,

We have an Ikea high chair (10 month old) in almost new condition hardly used.
The new one ( the chair and the table attached to it) costs 25 chf.
We are selling ours for 12 chf

The originals you can see here

table attached to it

We can bring it (it can be totally dismantled) to Zurich HB if you want to pick it from there

Thanks
Prad.

Hi!

I am touched by the help you offered someone. My husband and I often [at least once a week] pass by St. Gallon on our way to Dornbirn, Austria. I dont mind picking up the stuff from you for Jaxch.

Jaxch, I live in Oerlikon just 3 minutes away from the Oerlikon station. My husband and I dont mind to bring the stuff to a location that is convenient to you.

Since someone is offering the help, I thought I can do this much as we travel in that direction every week anyway.

Please let me know if I can be helpful.

Regards,
Shah.

baby car seat=(maxicosy)?that and the pram are what i already have bought second-hand,what is a baby carrier? baby björn,carrying cloth have those, clothes for the summer are covered,but size 68cm upward most of all for winter are neededespecially with this winter weather.will start asking around for transport,so i can take it off your hands as soon as possible, thank you again soo much.jackie

Someone as already offered to help you. My highchair cost me over 300frcs (i am not asking for 300frcs just so you know) you can remove the try, and it is very easy to clean, you can also adjust the height up,, and down, and you can tilt the seat backwards for your baby, on the tray there is also a special designed area for your babys bottle/cup.

It will take me a while to sort out the clothes as i am not very mobile at the moment, and they are downstairs in my hobbycraft room.

What else do you need?

That is very nice of you, i am closer to Austria than St.Gallen

sorry as i am new to this motherhood expedition,i am not sure what his needs will be as he grows,take it on a daily basis.if you have experience and any tips that would be really helpful,as i sometimes feel lost with everything there is on the market these days. jackie

thank you ! seen the picture at ikea.com would prefer the one offered by "sutter" as the wooden ones are too space consuming for my small kitchen but thanks anyway .jaxch

You have no reason to say sorry, we all have to learn, and grow with our babies, i have baby learning toys also, i also have some teletubbies videos you can have, and i think winnie the pooh, all in English.

Tip: love your baby everyday, and enjoy him because they grow up so fast before you know it he will be in KG, then school

dear shah, this has touched me soo much i do not know what too say,i am quite speechles,have lived here for over 20 years , never have i been given so much help in such a short time,and too top it all off from complete strangers.thank you jackie

Mine also as wheels on so you can easily wheel it from room to room, and folds together to easily put it away

Hi Jackie,

I just did/do/will do what I felt/feel is right. I wish the whole world be there for each other. Let me know if you want us to pick up stuff for you.
Take care.
Regards,
Shah.

just talked to my neighbour, and as she works in oerlikon she could lug it up to here from there,thanks so much will let you know as soon as things are running. jackie
