I have finally reached the critical point where my husband is getting so frustrated with my collection it's time to prune. And I decided which Como I'm keeping (at least for now. ;) ) So the following are available:
For Sale or Trade:
The ones on this list I'll consider reasonable offers. You can make me an offer that includes shipping (total cost, shipped) if you are in the contiguous U.S.; I have no idea on shipping to HI/AK or military bases overseas so if that's where you are please make an offer that does NOT include shipping and you will pay actual shipping cost. I may also be willing to trade if you have something I'm interested in; I want a Ride Safer Travel Vest size Small and might be interested in a SafeGuard GO. I might even be interested in non-carseat in-kind trades. You can see my girls' ages so if you have something you think I might be interested in feel free to offer. That's not what my husband has in mind but what he doesn't know doesn't hurt him, I'll find a way to make it good. :whistle:
I have the following:
Recaro Como in Midnight Desert, DOM 12/22/07. This one has been opened but not even removed from its box, just looked at and closed back up. Sold
Recaro Como in Blush, DOM 11/13/07. Again, opened but not removed from box, just looked at and closed. I need to at least cover my costs on the Comos or my husband will kill me, so nothing below $100, not incl. shipping, on the Comos please (unless you offer a trade.)
Graco Snug Ride (and base), rear-adjust, DOM 12/29/05. Used to be "Family Tree" pattern; cover was recalled. Replacement cover has been put on and is a plain green check. Recall fix sticker has also been affixed. I don't know if I will be able to find the infant head support but it wasn't much good anyway... I will try to find it but I make no guarantees. I also have an additional Winnie-The-Pooh cover ("Days of Hunny" pattern, I think) and canopy. I am willing to ship with either or both covers/canopies (if you just want a cover, make me an offer, I may be open to that too.) The glue on the "Graco" logo on the base was defective and the logo sticker came off; I called them and they said I could super glue it on or throw it away. I threw it away. Other than that regular wear. Never crashed, straps never washed, stored in temperature-controlled storage space wrapped in plastic when not in use, used 4 months with one child and as a backup for another. Never used by anyone but me. I'd like to get at least $15 for it not incl. shipping; $20 if you want the extra Winnie-the-Pooh cover. Oh, and my two year old colored on the instructions so it will need a new set (I can order it before shipping, or you can order them yourself. They're free, of course.) SOLD
I also have a DuoGlider in fair condition (some staining, some wear on tires, general wear-and-tear from being used with several kids in various conditions, but as clean as I can get it) in the Family Tree pattern. Works as a travel system with the Snug Ride or with a SS1, seat can be placed in either position of the stroller. I'd like to get at least $45 not including shipping but make me an offer.
Free For Shipping
The following seats I want to get rid of but I just don't want to deal with the heartache of giving/selling them to someone who I know will not use them properly. If you know someone who will use them properly, or will use them yourself, these are available for the actual shipping cost (I'll make it as cheap as possible), including a box if I don't have one large enough to ship in.
Scenera DOM 12/07/05. Blue with blue check pattern. Cover has just not held up well. This was a backup for a year and then in daily use for a year; it's got a stain on the cover that I haven't been able to get out, though you can try if you want to. The straps have never been washed and are not twisted, never crashed, stored inside. The plastic shell has been wiped down and is clean, but there's a stain on the instructions affixed to the LATCH strap (though they are still readable.) But if you need a backup/travel seat, though it doesn't look the best it's perfectly functional. Two year old destroyed the instructions on this one too, you'll need to call for new ones. TAKEN
Cosco HBB, blue and black cover, DOM 12/27/2007. This seat was used as a primary for a couple of weeks when my husband was in a crash with my oldest's primary seat in the car when we had already ordered our Radians and needed something cheap to use until they came. She was too tall for the Scenera by juuust a smidge; this has top slots about 1/2-3/4 inch higher and it was the cheapest seat that did. Then it was used as a backup very occasionally for my second, who soon outgrew it. So it really has very little wear on it, hasn't even needed a cover wash, I just don't want to sell it on Craigslist because I KNOW someone will use it as a booster for their three year old or use it after the top slots are outgrown or... *sigh* So if you have a short-torsoed but heavy kid or something and could use this seat for travel or backup (it is nice and light, and installed well in every car I put it in, and is almost as narrow as my Radians; I even put it in for the two year old when her cover wasn't dry in time for church one morning, it juuust fit next to the other Radians), it's yours. TAKEN
Post in the thread with additional inquiries or offers, or PM me. Either is fine. :)
