What to Do with Unsafe Items

If you have something you’re concerned isn’t safe, destroy it – dismantle it and take it to the city dump. If you have something that could be useful and you know is safe, such as a car seat, some charities will accept used car seats to be inspected and then given to needy families.

The Baby Bin Boutique is happy to accept and donate these items on your behalf at any time. Just give us a call so that we know when to expect you! #487-4687

Finally- please keep in mind that The Baby Bin Boutique carries a great selection of current brand name baby gear, clothing, educational toys and books.

We take the guess work out of the equation for you when consigning and or buying these essential items from us. Feel confident knowing that we have checked all items for recalls for you prior to placing them on our sales floor- after all we are parents too!
