New vs Hand-me-down

A FTM here. Just want to know do you prefer everything new for your baby or will you accept hand me downs ie clothes and such?

For clothes, hand me downs are actually more comfortable than new clothes. I will choose and keep the ones which are in a good condition. Babies grow so fast and will outgrow most new clothes. As for other items like baby cot / rocker / high chair, it depends on the condition such as cleanliness, stability, wear and tear etc. For toys, I wouldn’t accept soft toys. Only certain ones which are safe and educational. Please inspect and wash/sanitise all hand me downs before letting your baby use them.
