I didn't know about Britax Rewards until recently and it turns out we only need the $75 carrier to get the free $300 carseat. We need a second seat so this is perfect! I would have been SO SICK if we had tossed the boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-937350 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 23:25:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 937350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we keep the boxes to things that can be taken apart and stored, like the Jumperoo and Snuggabunny swing. Most other things we toss, but we always keep the manual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-937338 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 23:13:49 +0000 dolphin 937338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep some, but space is limited so I toss out most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-937305 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 22:46:38 +0000 immabeetoo 937305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recycle boxes &amp; save manuals (and register products). I bought a swing off Craigslist and she had the box... it was a pain because then I had to recycle it anyways :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-937302 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 22:45:35 +0000 Mommy Finger 937302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept them in case I needed to return it for any reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-937300 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 22:43:47 +0000 wheres_c 937300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep them until we're sure we wont resell or consign them.<br /> If we are certain we wont need it then we keep the upc with model and serial info plus the manual </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-936900 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:40:40 +0000 avivoca 936900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've recycled every box that's come in this house. I just don't have the space to keep them all. I do keep all the instruction manuals/information brochures to have when/if I consign/lend these items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-936895 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:38:48 +0000 chanzi 936895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept the boxes but we have lots of space for them in the basement and know we're moving in a year. Otherwise I don't know if we would have bothered. Maybe the boxes could also be helpful for storing these items between babies? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-936893 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:38:26 +0000 78h2o 936893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the space, so I've kept every bit of baby packaging... I figure it will be helpful for people to know the item name, model number, instructions, etc. when I go to pass on or consign/resell things. If you don't have the room though, then maybe take a photo of the package? Then you could print it out later on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-936843 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:16:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 936843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby isn't here yet, but I will say it's much nicer getting hand me downs from people who saved the packaging! I think if it will make future storage easier, or if you plan to loan or sell some of the items, I'd keep it, otherwise toss? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-boxes-from-baby-gear#post-936839 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:14:31 +0000 JamieLee 936839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I thought I read somewhere that you're supposed to save the boxes from baby gear like the car seat, swing, etc. but I can't remember the reasoning, so I'm thinking I imagined this advice! So bees, help me out, do I need to save all this cardboard or can I toss it? </p>
