I would. I'm sure many on here wouldn't because it might be stuffed with drugs, dipped in covid, or some other strange reason

Depends really if it’s a vintage / collectors item? My daughters were gifted lots of silver cross rag dolls - discontinued so you can only obtain second / third hand and I was fine about it

Or vintage Disney - quality of the modern soft toys is crap compared to the ones from 20 years ago
or vintage Paddington bears or steiff etc all fine

My opinion is probably invalid because I wouldn't use anything at all second hand for my newborn, but no.

No I wouldn’t give a second hand, bought on Vinted soft toy to a new born.,

Second hand like it's been passed down by a family member, great. Otherwise I'd say no.

Meh, I'd have been fine with that, but maybe I shouldn't have been 😬

If you mean it's actually brand new with tag or in box, but bought on Vinted rather than the original shop, that's fine. But actually used, no, unless it's something very coveted by the parent and you have asked them first if they'd be ok with that.

No. Cuddly toys are not usually that expensive, I wouldn't give second hand.
