What kids sports gear is best bought second hand?

Anything outgrown rather than worn out: boots and cleats, bikes and scooters, helmets with their padding intact, rackets, bats and season-specific kits. Check the listing photos for wear on the contact points and ask the seller anything before you buy.

Should I buy a second-hand helmet?

Only one that's in genuinely good condition: no cracks, no crash history, padding and straps intact. Sellers describe condition honestly and you can message them directly. If in doubt on safety gear, ask, or buy that one piece new and get everything else second hand.

How does bulky gear like bikes ship?

Shipping cost shows on the listing before you pay. For big items many sellers also offer pickup, which the listing will say: you pay through Lhoop either way, so the payment protection still applies.

Second hand kids sporting and outdoor gear

Kids' sport is a treadmill of gear that fits for one season: the footy boots outgrown by finals, the bike replaced two birthdays running, the scooter, the swim fins, the cricket set from the summer they cared about cricket. Most of it is barely used when it stops fitting, which makes this one of the best categories to buy second hand.

Everything is listed by Australian families with photos of the actual gear and honest wear notes. Lhoop holds your payment until it arrives, and when this winter's boots don't fit next winter, listing them is free and you keep 100%.
