Success after IF

What do you do with your old infant car seats?

If people aren't supposed to buy them used, what do you do with them?  Are they recyclable?  Do you just throw them in the trash?  Or do you sell them at a garage sale or something (if they haven't been in an accident) and let other people make those decisions for themselves?  

Re: What do you do with your old infant car seats?

  • I would offer them to others, and let them decide for themselves.
  • I see them listed on Craigslist all the time.   Not sure what we'll do with ours when we're done.  Probably CL, unless we have a garage sale this summer.

  • BRU has a thing where you can trade in your old stuff for 25% off a new car seat, stroller, high chair, etc.  Jan 29th - Feb 20th.

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • our town has a recycling event for car seats once/year.

    I will probably give mine away on freecycle.  even though you aren't "supposed" to get them 2nd hand - many people don't care and are happy to get one for free --- and since i know mine are in good shape i feel good about doing that.

  • Just B/W Friends (JBF)!!!  I am not sure how many states have it but is a twice a year HUGE resale sale.  There are JBF sales all over the state of TX and it is a great way to get DC name brand clothes inexpensively.

  • I have no idea.  I bought the whole thing to match. Double stroller and the matching infant carriers.  I wanted to sell it as a whole but I haven't bought another double yet.

  • There is no rule that people shouldn't use used seats, it is a preference that many people make, many people don't.

    I would sell them at a consignment sale, garage sale, or offer them to someone you know having a baby.
