For parents in Singapore, providing the best for their little ones often means looking beyond local shelves. Many popular baby brands, nursery essentials, and children’s gear are sold at better prices or wider variety in the US. From strollers and car seats to organic clothing and feeding accessories, eBay US is a leading marketplace for baby products.
Yet international shopping can be daunting. Many US sellers restrict shipping to local buyers, and eBay’s Global Shipping Program often inflates costs. That’s why more Singaporean families now turn to Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping and forwarding service — giving them access to US-only products with clear SGD billing, affordable rates, and safe delivery to their doorstep.
This guide explains how to buy baby products from eBay US and how to use Buy&Ship to make the process smooth and cost-efficient.
Why eBay US Is Great for Baby Products
- Wider Product Range – US brands like Graco, Fisher-Price, and Carter’s often release items that don’t reach Singapore retail.
- Better Pricing – Large US resellers and outlet stores on eBay offer discounts up to 50% off retail.
- Second-Hand Bargains – Parents often sell gently used baby gear at low prices, perfect for budget-conscious families.
- Hard-to-Find Items – Collectible toys, discontinued feeding bottles, or organic baby clothing lines are often easiest to find on eBay US.

- Car Seats – Britax, Chicco, Evenflo

Challenges of Direct International Shipping
Shopping on eBay US is convenient, but delivery to Singapore comes with obstacles:
- Sellers Restrict Shipping – Many baby gear sellers ship domestically only.
- High Shipping Fees – Large, heavy items like strollers can cost more to ship than their actual price.
- No Consolidation – Buying bottles, clothes, and toys from different sellers means paying multiple courier fees.
- Currency Exchange Costs – Paying in USD can add hidden bank charges.
- Return Difficulties – Baby gear often requires clear return policies, but international returns are expensive and complex.

Tips for Parents Buying Baby Gear
- Check Safety Standards – Ensure products like car seats meet US safety certifications, but confirm compatibility with Singapore’s requirements.
- Focus on Condition – For second-hand baby items, review photos carefully for cleanliness and durability.
- Avoid Restricted Items – Some products with batteries or liquids may face shipping limits; check Buy&Ship’s guidelines.

Real Example: Saving on Baby Essentials
A Singapore parent recently ordered:
- A Graco stroller (large, heavy item)
- Carter’s baby clothes from another seller
- A set of Dr. Brown’s feeding bottles
If shipped directly, each would require separate international courier fees, exceeding SGD 250.
Instead, using Buy&Ship, the parent consolidated all items into one shipment, paid in SGD, and saved nearly SGD 100 in total costs.
