Default Re: Appreciable Items

Watch out on buying and selling used car seats. This is a major litigation issue. If the seat has ever been in an accident, it has to be replaced because if it isn't, it could fail in an accident. Also, over time, the sun will degrade the plastic, so that it could fail to restrain the child in an accident.

If you sell your carseat and then the person who buys it is in an accident and their baby/child dies - you could be sued. And they could win if it is proven the carseat should have been retired prior to selling it to them.

BTW - same goes for helmets.
