The Case for Refurbished Baby Gear
Every year, millions of baby products end up in landfills after just months of use. At Karabean, we believe there's a better way.
The Problem with "New"
Baby gear has an incredibly short useful life in most households. A crib might be used for 2-3 years. A stroller perhaps 4 years. Yet these items are built to last much longer.
The Environmental Impact
- 90% of baby gear is used for less than 3 years
- 15 million baby items end up in US landfills annually
- The average family spends $12,000 on baby gear in the first two years
Our Refurbishment Process
We don't just resell used items. Every piece goes through rigorous inspection and restoration.
Quality Standards
- Safety inspection — Every item checked against current CPSC guidelines
- Deep cleaning — Hospital-grade sanitization processes
- Component replacement — Worn parts replaced with new
- Functionality testing — Full operational verification
Economic Benefits
Choosing refurbished doesn't mean compromising on quality. It means:
- Saving 40-60% compared to retail prices
- Getting premium brands at accessible prices
- Reducing waste while raising your family
Our customers often tell us their refurbished items look and function like new. That's the Karabean difference.
