1st Travel Car
Posted on Sunday, October 10th, 2010 at 11:00 amA friend is giving us her Chicco travel system stroller. is it safe to use the car seat?
The travel system/car seat is almost 1 year old. I have heard its not safe to use another person's carseat and to buy a new one. Is this true?
Thank you. Its my Moms really good friend so we know there have been no accidents, and its been very well taken care of. Yay, one more thing off the list.
Its actually unsafe to get a used car seat unless it is coming from a trusted friend or relative and you are 100% positive:
1)it has never been in any wreck
2)it has all the original pieces, including manual
3)it has never been dropped, which means never been checked as luggage at the airport, either, since this frequently happens when checked or gate checked .
4)it is less than 6 years old
5)the straps have never been completely submerged or washed with anything other than mild soap(it messes up the flame retardent treatment)
But if it passes all those - then definitely, save some money and use it - the Keyfit22 and Keyfit30 are both great seats!
