"You can either swap, sell it, or give it away."
Like many parents around the country, Bello of Tewksbury has found her answer
Swapbabygoods.com, a new website specifically designed for parents wanting to get rid of, or pick up, things for their young children.

"It's like a smaller version of eBay just for baby stuff. You can list your furniture, clothes, books, a whole list of categories."
This online marketplace was the brainchild of Asma Manzoor, a stay at home mom.

"So I just thought that creating a website like this would be a good idea."
After acquiring a collection of things her daughter wasn't using, she realized how perfect it would all be for another family.

"I was the first user of my website and I listed a couple of my daughter's outgrown clothes, toys, car seats."
Swapbabygoods.com is free to join and browse and you don't ave to spend a dime if you don't want to.

"Trading and the exchanging that has been going on."
But Terri made some money; she bought this bed for $99.99 and a few years later sold it for $30.00. Happy with her return she's ready to list more.
"I'll probably use it again when she's done with her booster seat or any other toys and things I need to get rid of."
But there's also a community section.

"Where moms exchange their baby food recipes, their product experience, any parenting tips."
Swapbabygoods.com just expanded to include Canada and the UK.
