Booster Seat

[manoasurfer123]

Anyone on here have a booster seat that your child has out grown and wants to make a barter/trade/ or small sale off of it?

Let me know... I'm good for $20.00 if anyone has one in decent shape.

When shopping, be aware of the NHTSA guidance on reuse of child seats after crashes. An excerpt from their website is as follows:

"NHTSA Position
NHTSA recommends that child safety seats be replaced following a moderate or severe crash in order to ensure a continued high level of crash protection for child passengers.

NHTSA recommends that child safety seats do not automatically need to be replaced following a minor crash.

Minor crashes are those that meet ALL of the following criteria:

The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site;

The vehicle door nearest the safety seat was undamaged;

There were no injuries to any of the vehicle occupants;

The air bags (if present) did not deploy; AND

There is no visible damage to the safety seat".

The complete text can be found here. (http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/childps/ChildRestraints/ReUse/)

Hope this helps.

Good point. Like helmets and other safety equipment, used stuff can be a crapshoot. It might look fine, but still be compromised.

Make sure your source is trustworthy... or better yet, buy new and be sure. Pinch pennies in another area.
