I have to brag about my mom for a second she went to a 2nd hand store and bought a carseat double stroller and bouncer…

Look into your resources. If you can't afford to buy a new (safe) car seat, there are places who have low cost or even free seats.

Trumbull family recourse center will have you do a $20 copay for a seat in the next link. The phone number is listed and you will have to make an appointment.

Safety isn't an opinion. It shouldn't matter how many kids you have, they should all be safe.

Caring about car seat safety is pretentious? That’s a new one!

I just don't see why some people have to put the multiple same opinion on a post multiple times like if I go in I want to post something on somebody's post but I see that somebody already said what I wanted to say I just move on because I'm sure the person who posted Does not need multiple people gaining on her or him

Car seat safety is pretentious now?

Your child is worth spending a few extra bucks to ensure their safety.

Well good for the people who don't buy used which is okay state your opinion and move on there no need for the same opinion to be put on a comment by multiple people I don't understand why people think repeating the same thing over and over is going to make your way the right way

Caring about car seat safety isn’t pretentious, it’s smart. As a mother to so many children, you should be well aware that it isn’t recommended to buy a seat second hand. You never know what kind of damage it could have to it from being in an accident, from being dropped, or anything else. You’re going to do what you want to do, but I wish you would show a bit more care about car seat safety and get your baby a brand new one. Your choice could be a fatal one for your baby. If money is an issue, there are programs to help!

The amount of kids you have shouldn't determine if you take safety seriously or not.. Just because the seat looks good doesn't mean it's safe. If you cant afford a new one there's usually programs that can help you get a brand new one for free.

I don’t care if I have 300 kids. I’d still never buy a used car seat. You can’t see internal damage. And since when is safety pretentious?

That’s a score!!! Definitely would toss the seat though. You don’t know it’s history whether it looks to be in good shape or not. They sell infant seats for around $50 now or a lot of agencies give new ones free to ensure safety.

I have 4 kids, and I’d still never buy a used car seat. It’s not pretentious. It’s life or death.

Lol by time you have had as many kids as I have you stop being pretentious about things it is within the safety date and it is in good shape.

Yes that’s very awesome and the bouncer looks great but I wouldn’t trust the car seat unfortunately

I would definitely toss the car seat and get a new one.

Not to rain on your parade but car seats should never be bought second hand. Unless you know the previous owner and are absolutely sure it wasn’t involved in a vehicle collision. Even if it looks fine on the outside, there could be micro cracks or damage that can’t be seen by the naked eye. Damage like this could hinder the seat more susceptible to breaking apart/injuring your child/not protecting child during an accident. Please cut the straps, toss it and get your baby a brand new one. A life could depend on it.
