Why families join

Less stuff at home, more time to actually play.

Less clutter

Everything your kids outgrow — toys, clothes, books, gear, even furniture — can go to a family who'd love it right now. No storage bins, no guilt.

Less spending

Kids change fast, and keeping up shouldn't cost a fortune. Swapping keeps something new-to-them arriving without buying new.

More connection

You'll meet the families down the street, at your school, in your parenting group. Real people, real names.

How it works

Seven friendly steps, most of them take seconds.

Join or browse

Join your school, neighborhood, or parenting group — or just browse your city.

List an item

Snap a photo of anything your kids have outgrown. Our little AI helper writes the description for you. Your first 5 points arrive with your first listing, whichever path you pick.

Request an item

See something your kid would love? Ask the family who has it.

Owner approves

They say yes or no thanks. No pressure either way.

Swap, sell or donate

You choose one path per item. Swapping moves points across, no cash involved. Selling is arranged directly between the two families in person — playloop never handles the money. Donating sends it to our partner organization.

Meet up

The family who listed it picks the spot — usually somewhere you'd already be going.

Leave a review

A thumbs up and a kind word, if you feel like it. That's it.

Points are how most things move on playloop. When you list, you pick one path for that item: swap for points, sell for cash arranged directly between families in person — playloop never processes the payment — or give it away as a donation.

Real families

What parents are saying.

"My daughter grew out of her toy kitchen and my friend three streets over had one on her wish list. It took twenty minutes."
— Marta, la Vila de Gràcia

"It's the parents from our school, so handing my kid's things along felt easy from the very first swap."
— David, el Poblenou

Kids outgrow things fast. They don't have to be thrown out fast.

Every swap keeps one more thing in use and one more family from buying new. No guilt-tripping — just a small good thing.
