Buying used children's pyjamas and sleepwear
Pyjamas are worn and washed often, so condition matters. A few checks help you choose sleepwear that is comfortable and still has life left.

Check the fabric and elastic
Look for pilling, thin areas and tired waistbands. Soft, intact fabric matters more than an attractive print.
Follow product guidance
Read the label and follow the manufacturer's guidance on fit and use. If in doubt about sleep safety for babies, ask your health visitor.
Wash before first use
Wash according to the care label before use, and check seams and fastenings once more afterwards.
