LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's unpredictable economy, everyone needs to save money -- and no one needs to more than moms, who find themselves endlessly buying clothes, toys, and strollers that their children quickly outgrow. Enter handmedowns.com, the ultimate resource for moms to buy, sell, give away, or donate their gently used items. On handmedowns.com parents can save money, make money and recycle all at the same time!



Previously, to find a second-hand item in good condition, parents had to surf through giant, impersonal classified sites like eBay or craigslist. Now handmedowns.com is a one-stop destination that aggregates baby & kids listings from top classified sites and combines them with original postings from hand-me-downs' users. It connects buyers and sellers and the next step is up to you!

Users who upload their FREE listings directly onto handmedowns.com receive priority on the site. Categories range from infant swings to toddler clothing to nannies. "Gently used" items, which the site defines as those in "very good condition with no rips, tears, stains or broken parts" are encouraged. Safety is heavily promoted, and a link to a government recall site is provided to avoid unsafe items from getting posted. As a bonus, the site's recycling of second-hand goods helps the environment.

Handmedowns.com's CEO and founder, Norah Weinstein, who is a lawyer and founded The Hollywood Reporter, ESQ., is a mom who was frustrated with searching online for much needed items for her 14-month-old daughter. "The classified sites that were available had some great listings, but were not designed with parents in mind. Moms are too busy to sift through thousands of listings to find the items they need, especially those in good enough condition for their children. Our goal is to raise the bar for baby & kids classifieds."

"Handmedowns.com helps parents save time and money by pulling together all of the products they need into a safe, simple, user-friendly environment," says co-founder Jane Buckingham, one of the country's leading trend forecasters, who founded The Intelligence Group and authored Modern Girls Guide to Motherhood. She was recently named to Elle Magazine's "25 Most Influential Women in Hollywood."

Handmedowns.com is currently available in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Orange County, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.
