Used Child Safety Seat – A Wise Purchase?
Avoiding used car seats is a very wise idea. There are few exceptions to this rule. The only time you should even consider the idea is if you know the people you are getting the seat from. If you can trust them to tell you the truth about the seats condition you might consider the used seat.
If the used car seat you are considering has been involved in an automobile accident then it has likely sustained damage. The challenge is that you can look at the seat and it will seem okay. Yet the seat has been damaged in was that you can not see. The strength of the materials has been weakened or there are very small stress fractures in the plastic. Running the risk of using a car seat that will fail when you need it most is not worth the risk if a lower price tag.
Another hazard with used child safety seats is that you may not be able to determine if all the parts are there. Even if you do realize something is missing it could be rather difficult to locate a replacement part.
There are lots of places online now were you can get used car seats. Do not be tempted to risk your child’s life to safe a few dollars. You might get a safe seat and you might not. What good is spending less money to only wonder if your child is raiding is a seat that will fail when you need it to protect their life?
Do not make the mistake of risking your child’s life over a used car seat. The only purpose of a car seat is safety. If you compromise that safety factor with a risky seat, then what have you accomplished.
I would suggest buying a new car seat to every parent. A very safe seat would be a Britax car seats. The safety of your child far outweighs the $20 you may save by getting a used car seat.
If a car seat has been through an auto accident, certain parts of it may be stressed from impacts, and may not be as strong as when it was first made. This could cause the seat to be weaker, and possibly fail as a safety device should you be in an accident with your child.
The best advice is staying clear of used car seats. Yet if you know the owner and they have been the sole owner and they have only had the seat for a couple years you might consider this as an option until you can afford a new one. But if you do not know the owner or the history of the seat you need to stay away from them. Risking your child’s safety knowingly is not right.
