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?

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!

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.
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).

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.

@LadyDi: @PurplePumps: I had never heard of a "buy nothing" site, so thanks for that suggestion! @catgirl: Thank you for these suggestions too!

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.

I sold two of mine on FB Marketplace! 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.

I gave one of my old ones away on a local facebook group - someone just wanted to have an extra carseat around for when grandparents were visiting!
