Where to sell used baby baths, baby monitors and safety gear in Colombia

Quick answer: a used bathtub, baby monitor, or safety gate sells best between individuals if you post it complete, clean, with photos of its real condition, disclosing every defect, and letting the buyer test the device before paying.

It's one of those things that sits untouched in the closet once the baby grows: the plastic tub in the storage room, the monitor in its box, the gate left over from the stairs. Here we only cover that: baby bathtubs or tubs, audio or video monitors, and gates, doors, railings, and bath or outlet protectors. Car seats, cribs, playpens, and clothing have their own guides below. And if you want the big picture on where to sell any used item, start with where to sell used items in Colombia.

Which category to post it in

On Colombia Move, these items go in the Bath, Hygiene and Safety category. According to the marketplace pages checked on October 9, 2026, that category had 0 listings, while the Baby and Kids section had 42 active: 34 toys, 5 strollers and car seats, 1 crib and playpen, 1 breastfeeding item, and 1 clothing item. In other words, anyone looking for a tub today won't find anything; you could be the first.

The category page describes buying and selling as direct, with no commissions or intermediaries, and posting is presented as free. You can see how the other categories are divided in the Baby and Kids category guide or browse the Baby and Kids section.

A practical tip: write “baby monitor” in the title. If you only write “monitor,” you'll get questions from people looking for a computer screen.

What's not covered: for car seats, see this guide (the SIC recommends, if there is no expiration date, seats less than 5 years old and in no case more than 10 years from manufacture, and not reusing a seat that was involved in an accident). For cribs, playpens, and clothing, this other one.

What to show in photos, depending on the item

Photos in daylight with a clean background filter out curious browsers and build trust. Each item needs its own details:

• Bathtub or tub: the bottom, the suction cups or feet, the drain plug, and the joints where stains build up. If it has a crack, photograph it.
• Baby monitor: the parent unit and the camera unit, the cable and charger, the battery compartment or battery, and the device turned on only if the screen doesn't show your home. The range, only if you tested it in your home; don't copy figures from the box.
• Safety gate or door: the width it covers, whether it is pressure-mounted or screwed in, the complete hardware, and the grip pads.

Don't post a live image from the camera if it shows the inside of your home, the baby's bed, or an address. A photo of the device switched off works just as well.

What not to post

Here I would be strict, because these are safety items. Don't list them as usable if they have:

• a swollen battery, a strange smell, or a burned casing;
• a broken, cracked tub or mold at the joint;
• a gate missing its locking mechanism or with missing hardware;
• a brand and model that appear in a safety recall campaign.

Before posting a branded item, search for it on the SIC Product Safety Portal. A recall campaign seeks to fix a defect that may affect safety, costs nothing, and doesn't depend on the warranty. As an example, the SIC investigated how the Fisher-Price Rock ’n Play Sleeper recall was communicated in Colombia; that doesn't mean every rocker or tub is banned, only that it's worth checking.

Hygiene without promising sterility

Wash the tub, dry it well, and photograph it in natural light. You can write “washed and dry.” Avoid “disinfected,” “sterile,” or “suitable for newborns”: there is no official protocol that backs that promise, and it doesn't make sense to assume a responsibility you can't prove. The same goes for the monitor: wipe it with a cloth and keep the contacts dry.

Price, testing, and delivery

There is no official price list for used tubs, monitors, or gates, and the category was empty, so there are no comparables either. Set the price based on condition, complete parts, and whether the buyer can test it. Keep it visible in the listing: it saves empty questions.

The monitor is tested plugged in or on batteries before paying. Home delivery or shipping of a gate or monitor is agreed in the seller-buyer chat; it is not a legal rate. Hand over and collect payment in a busy place, not at a dark doorway, and don't ship the item to a stranger before receiving payment.

Warranty: if you sell once or if you sell regularly

Two rules get mixed up here, and it's worth separating them.

1. The Consumer Statute (Law 1480 of 2011) regulates relations between producers, suppliers, and consumers, and a producer or supplier is someone who produces or sells habitually. An occasional sale between families is not automatically covered by its three-month warranty.

2. If you sell regularly and the used item has already completed its legal warranty, you can sell it without warranty only if you disclose this and the buyer accepts it clearly in writing; otherwise, the term is understood to be three months (article 8).

3. Between individuals the hidden defects rules of the Civil Code apply. The buyer can ask to rescind the sale or for a price reduction if there was a defect that makes the good useless or clearly imperfect, that you did not disclose, and that he could not have known about without gross negligence. If you knew and kept quiet, compensation may also apply. A “no warranty” label does not cover what you knew and didn't say. Disclose the crack, the broken suction cup, or the missing part.

4. Time limit: for movable goods, the action lasts six months from actual delivery, unless a special law or a different agreement applies. If in doubt, consult a lawyer.

The long weekend of October 12, 2026

October 12 is the Day of Ethnic and Cultural Diversity and a national holiday (Law 2347 of 2024). Since in 2026 it falls on a Monday, the paid rest day is that same Monday, the 12th, according to Law 51 of 1983, and Saturday and Sunday come before it. If family visits leave you with a tub or monitor sitting around, post it complete before the trip, and don't send a questionable battery “for the road.”

Frequently asked questions

❓ Where do I post a used bathtub, baby monitor, or gate?

In the Bath, Hygiene and Safety category on Colombia Move, which had 0 listings on October 9, 2026. It is not the same drawer as strollers, cribs, or clothing in the Baby and Kids section, so choose the category carefully when posting.

❓ How much should I ask for a used tub or baby monitor?

There is no official rate or price list for these used items. Look at the condition, whether the parts are complete, and whether the buyer can test it. Keep the price visible in the listing to filter out curious browsers and negotiate clearly (verify with the official source).

❓ How do I sell safely and avoid scams?

Show the defects in the photos, let the buyer test the monitor before paying, and collect payment on delivery in a busy place. Don't ship the item to a stranger before receiving payment, and don't post images of your home (verify with the official source).

❓ If I sell it only once, must I give a three-month warranty?

Not automatically. The three months are the rule for a habitual supplier who does not state in writing that the used item is sold without warranty. Between individuals, hidden defects must be disclosed, and the action for movable goods lasts six months from actual delivery (verify with the official source).

❓ Can I write that the tub is disinfected or sterile?

Better not. You can say you washed and dried it and show photos of its real condition, but don't promise sterility or a clinical treatment, because there is no official protocol that backs it up (verify with the official source).

❓ What should I not sell?

Avoid items covered by an SIC recall campaign, swollen batteries, broken tubs, or incomplete gates. Car seats and cribs have their own guides, with different rules (verify with the official source).

❓ Who pays for transport of a gate or monitor?

The seller and buyer agree in the chat; there is no legal rate for that delivery. The simplest option is to hand it over in person at a busy spot, and if shipping is involved, define beforehand who covers it (verify with the official source).
