I would encourage you to donate it to someone who could really need it. Id be hesitant to list as free because so many people resell stuff to make a profit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186059 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:02:07 +0000 twodoghouse 2186059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave them to my parents so my sister's twins could use them when they fly down to my parents' this summer. After that I think my mom plans to give them to her boss who is a foster parent and often in need of things like this on short notice (or knows other people who need them quickly). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186031 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:50:45 +0000 PinkElephant 2186031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whether you sell it or give it away, maybe you could do so on a local parenting site/listserv rather than a more general forum like Craigslist. My parenting listserv requires your email address and real name (and you pay to join), so while people could technically still create fake identities, there's a bit more of a sense of trust and someone might be more open to receiving a product you're not *supposed* to get used because they feel like they know you just by being part of the same community. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186026 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:47:24 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2186026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a buy nothing group in your neighborhood? If you want to give it away that might be a good route.</p> <p>We're saving ours for another child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186025 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:46:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2186025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Donated it to a family that needed one- it was a connection through a friend! Maybe a local church might be able to take it and give it to someone?<br /> I get the reasons why people aren't supposed to use used car seats, but if a family needs one (versus going without one), then it's better to have one used! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186019 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:45:16 +0000 autumnlove 2186019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to throw mine away after LO 3 is done with it. It expires in 2016. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186018 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:45:15 +0000 lamariniere 2186018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggest selling it or donating it if you can find a place (women's shelter?). I bought both of our infant car seats used because we don't have a car and if you add up the days, we used each seat for less than 2 weeks. I really didn't want to put a ton of money into a seat when I knew we would barely use it. Trust me, someone will be grateful to get a good seat at a low price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186015 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:44:22 +0000 Andrea 2186015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave it to a friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186014 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:44:05 +0000 lovehoneybee 2186014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were pretty sure we were one and done, so we donated it to one of D's coworkers (as an extra car seat for her parents). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2186013 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:43:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2186013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I don't think donation places can accept them. Right now we have it stores in dhs grandmothers basement, for number two. By the time we are finished with it it will be just about expired, so I guess we will throw it out. </p> <p>Do you have any friends having babies who might want it, or want an extra for a grandparents car or something? Or you could sell it for the $20 and then when the person picks it up, give it for free?</p> <p>(Eta: mine is a hand me down from my sister and nephew, so I feel it will have gotten its share of use after three babies). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-infant-car-seat#post-2185999 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:36:52 +0000 HLK208 2185999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once LO outgrew it? </p> <p>We're done having kids so we either will need to donate it or sell it. The same car seat on local listing sites goes for $100-170 but I don't think I would feel right selling it for more than $20. DH said if someone buys a second hand car seat, they probably need it more than we need extra money so he wants to list it as free - but then people assume something is wrong with it! Places like goodwill won't accept baby gear.</p> <p>Did you sell yours? Save it? Donate it? </p>
