HandMeDowns.com. Now The Mommalution Has Its Own Classifieds.

Handmedowns.com is a perfect example of what Web 2.0 does best. The site takes a highly relatable concept — hand me downs – and upgrades it for today. It’s a great example of what today’s Mommalution is all about — taking that powerful VOM (Voice of Moms) and putting it to savvy, sensible good use.

Here’s what the site says:

Handmedowns is a new online classifieds site for moms where you can buy, sell, give away or donate your new and “gently used” baby gear, toys, clothes, childcare services and more in a family friendly atmosphere.

We pull together and organize the best baby/child/mom listings from around the web AND combine them with handmedowns.com listings posted on our site to create a one-stop destination for busy moms.

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.”

Guru’s Take: There are a couple of notable adds that make this site particularly Mom-friendly. Love the Eco focus. Love the Mom Police, a system for moms to flag any listing that appears unsafe or inappropriate. Love the focus on product safety, including a link to recalls. All right on. But those buttons at the top, which let users choose whether they’d like to Buy, Sell, Give Away Free, or Donate. Smart. That’s how we roll these days, managing our stuff in every permutation known to momhood.
