Used Car Seats: An Unsafe Choice
.................................................................................................................................................
It may be tempting to buy a used car seat
from a thrift store or a garage sale.
However,
it is recommended that used car seats be destroyed. During normal use, car
seats undergo stress as well as temperature changes from being in the car.
No one can be certain that a used car seat
will perform properly in a crash. Also, no one can be certain as to the
crash history of a used car seat.
