Why donate through Baby2Baby?

What types of baby gear are most needed?
Baby2Baby typically accepts new or gently used cribs, strollers, car seats (unexpired and not recalled), diapers, wipes, clothing, and baby bedding. They also accept financial donations to purchase items they cannot accept used, such as crib mattresses for safety reasons.
Frequently asked questions about donating baby gear

Visit the Baby2Baby website and use their donation locator tool. Enter your zip code to find participating retailers, community centers, or special collection events near you.
Can I donate used crib mattresses?
