Buying Second-hand Child Car Seats

Don't compromise on safety

If you are thinking about buying second hand, here are some things you will need to consider:

Don't buy anything that you even suspect might have been involved in an accident as it will no longer be capable of offering the level of protection that it could when new.

Check that nothing is missing or broken - including the fitting instructions which are essential if you're going to be able to fit and adjust the seat properly.

Buying from family or friends is a good idea because you'll know the history of the seat and can be sure that it's not been involved in an accident.

Car boot sales, free ads and other sources where you don't know the seller can't be recommended.
