About Young Loved

Welcome to Young Loved, your preloved destination for all things kids and maternity, where buying and selling your unused *stuff* just got easier.

Buy and sell clothes, shoes, accessories, equipment, toys, furniture and books, all from your mobile with the free Young Loved app.

From maternity and kidswear to equipment and furniture, and all the essentials in between, we know how expensive the whole package can get – as parents ourselves, we’ve been there. We also understand the frustration when these good-as-new items are only used for months at a time, taking up valuable space at home or, worse, ending up in landfill.

That’s why we set up Young Loved.

We’re a dedicated one-stop shop for those who want to consume responsibly when it comes to everything kids and maternity related. Built by mums who have come to understand just how transitional the baby to preteen years are, we’ve set out on a mission to build a trusted circular community, so conscious consumers can lean on each other, while being kinder to the planet, people, your wallets and wardrobes all at once.

And we’ve made it really easy. We’ll be your new pocket pal – just download our app to buy and sell preloved clothes, toys, books, and equipment that are no longer being used, with a few simple steps.

We have so much to gain from transforming the way we shop. Join our mission to increase the lifespan of products, and help reframe ‘hand-me-downs’ as something cool, something exciting, something our kids should be proud to own.

With Young Loved, you can declutter, reduce your impact on the planet, save some cash, make some money and set an example at the same time. It’s a win-win.
