You know the phrase "Someone's trash is someone's treasure"? So this is one of the guidelines for the new Jama app feature. If you've spent a short time with your baby, you already know that what was good for him yesterday will no longer be relevant tomorrow. Babies grow at a dizzying pace, their interests change frequently, and the stimuli they need.
So just before you throw away equipment that your child no longer needs, you are welcome to do good for someone else and also for the environment and pass it on to a family that is really close to you. It also works in reverse: before you purchase equipment, clothes, games or furniture for your child - check maybe someone around you is giving away exactly what you need.
So how do you reach those who deliver or those who need it?
The Jama app, which makes content accessible to parents from pregnancy to the age of three, has developed a smart map that knows which parents are right around you. The purpose can be for the purpose of acquaintance and meeting but also to give away baby and children's products or receive from another family that has finished using them.
The map is location-based, and each parent can specify what they are submitting, add photos and describe the status of the product, or "browse" through parents who have already advertised products for delivery. From there you start correspondence, coordinate collection and that's it - it's yours.
Do good for yourself, others and the environment
When the clothes are already small on your child, when the
trampoline no longer amuses him, or when you have just moved him from the cot to the bed of "grown-ups" - there are those whose child needs these things right now. With a few easy rides, you can easily reach it and find your equipment a new home.
The goal behind the "Pass It On" feature is to bring parents together, help preserve the environment (why buy and produce more when there is already enough?) and your pocket, and the ideas that get a special spotlight here are sharing, sustainability, community and connection to people you meet on the street, in the supermarket and in the amusement parks. Not only products and equipment can be earned here, but also new and surprising connections between families who gave or received something second-hand.
It's worth noting that location plays a significant role in the "pay it forward" feature, as it allows convenience to move equipment from one to another, at times convenient for you, and even on foot or leave for pickup outside the door.
In conclusion, since children's products, especially at young ages, are temporary, it is not always necessary and worthwhile to buy everything new. It is possible to give with love and use what others no longer need. Perhaps with the next child you will discover that something that rolled over to you from the neighbors is actually yours from the past.

The Jama app was established in order to provide a solution for mothers of babies between the ages of birth and three, and to gather content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period. All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to his developmental stages, so that mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.
The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and meet other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships on this fascinating journey.
