Safety

Safer parent-to-parent exchanges

My Parent Village is designed around local trust, clear listings, private messaging, and visible community feedback.

Before you meet

Use in-app messages first when possible. Ask clear questions about condition, size, photos, accessories, and whether the item has any safety recalls.

For baby gear, always check current safety guidance before use, especially for car seats, sleep products, carriers, and high chairs.

During handover

Choose a safe, public, convenient handover location when possible. Avoid sharing more personal information than needed.

Inspect the item before paying or accepting it. If something feels wrong, pause the exchange.

After the exchange

Mark the item sold or given, choose the recipient, and leave an honest review when the exchange is complete.

Use the report option if an item, account, or conversation appears unsafe, misleading, or inappropriate.
