They were in great shape and went quickly. I did a little research first by looking at other seats for sale on the site and posted similar pics and information. I priced on the low end of what others were asking for the brand (Britax) and they were gone within about 6 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-old-car-seat#post-2921491 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 23:48:37 +0000 ALV91711 2921491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve either given them to someone I know or given away on a community group. There is always someone who can benefit from a free seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-old-car-seat#post-2921488 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 17:29:20 +0000 foodiebee 2921488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: @PurplePumps: I had never heard of a "buy nothing" site, so thanks for that suggestion! @catgirl: Thank you for these suggestions too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-old-car-seat#post-2921487 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 16:09:12 +0000 PurplePumps 2921487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would post on a buy nothing or similar site. If not expired and no accidents, I'm sure someone would be happy to have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-old-car-seat#post-2921484 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 14:44:57 +0000 catgirl 2921484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took our infant seat to walmart when they were doing a trade in, put the bases on facebook for free for others to use at target for the trade in (they were expired which I was very clear about), and gave our two convertibles to a friend. </p> <p>I think it's fine to sell or give away if you know they haven't been in an accident or checked on a plane, and if you have followed all cleaning and installation requirements from the manual. If not you can hold on to them for the next target trade in. Reach out to a fire station or CPST to see if they need them for demonstration purposes. Or see if local high schools use the electronic babies and could use seats (if it's a bucket style). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-old-car-seat#post-2921483 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 14:36:42 +0000 LadyDi 2921483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I belong to a local "buy nothing" group on facebook and donated it to someone who lives in my community who was able to use it for his new baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-old-car-seat#post-2921482 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 14:28:25 +0000 foodiebee 2921482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you do with your old car seat? We've missed Target's latest trade in back in Sept., and ours still looks brand new and has never been in an accident. I hate to throw it away, but it looks like neither Goodwill or the Salvation Army take them, and I don't have someone to give ours to. What did you do? </p>
