[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to a thrift shop, or a salvation army. You can purchase a car seat for $10.00.   Usually they are in fine condition and cleaned up before being sold.   If you still feel like they are not enough, you can always throw a towel or blanket on the seat.   My daughter did this when she flew to see her brother in No. Carolina with the baby, so he could put it in his car while she was visiting.  [/quote]

That is the worst suggestion ever! And also, I don't buy it. Thrift stores do not accept car seats. This is because there is no way for them to know whether or not the car seat has been in an accident before. If a car seat is involved in an accident, you're supposed to replace it because it isn't as strong as before.

But sure. Just toss the kids in whatever.  :roll: Why not just borrow a truck and let them ride in the back, while you're at it?[/quote]

This is totally true, you are never supposed to sell a carseat and anytime getting one for free from someone, you need to make sure it was never in an accident and has not expired.

The truck comment is funny though. When I was little there were no car seat laws at all and you would frequently see people in cars just holding babies or young kids sitting with just a seatbelt (or even without). It was not safe at all, but I do think that the laws have gotten a bit insane with the height and age requirements these days. Babies and toddlers, yes. 7-9 yr olds? Shouldn't really need a booster seat anymore. [/quote]
