How Meetups Work on Little Swaps

Written By Monica Leesha

Simple, Safe & Parent-Friendly.

Parents asked for a safer, easier way to buy and sell locally without the chaos of Facebook Marketplace, designed for verified parents only.

So we built Little Meetups on Little Swaps.

Here’s the quick guide. 👇

1. Message Inside the App - No Numbers or Addresses

See something you want? Tap Message Seller.

You chat inside Little Swaps, not through texts or DMs.
And since our community is parents-only with verified profiles, meetups feel safer from the start.

2. Pick a Public Meetup Spot

Choose anywhere you’re comfortable:

  • Coffee shops

  • School or library parking lots

  • Police-station safe zones

  • Playgrounds

No pressure. No awkwardness. Just two parents meeting to swap something useful.

3. Pay in Person (Cash Only)

For now, meetups are cash-only, by design.
It keeps things simple and avoids coordinating transfers.

Meet → Check → Pay → Done.

4. Seller Marks the Item as Sold

After the exchange, the seller hits Mark as Sold in their Active Listings.
This avoids double-selling and keeps the platform clean.

Why It’s Safer Than FB Marketplace

  • Verified Parent Profiles (no random accounts)

  • In-app messaging (no phone numbers shared)

  • Clear expectations (cash-only, meet in public)

  • No “Is this still available?” spam

It’s the same convenience of a local meetup with the safety features parents actually need. Every parent on Little Swaps goes through a basic verification before they can post or buy, so go ahead and start swapping!

Perfect for:

  • Strollers, wagons, cribs

  • Last-minute kid needs

  • Sellers who prefer local

  • Buyers who like to see before paying

Meetups are live, simple, quick, and built for parents.

Happy swapping! 💛
