I have two new toys errrr... car seats that arrived in the last couple weeks. Baby isn't here for several months yet, and it is easier to store the seats in their sealed boxes than if they were out. Its hard not to open them just to drool over but now I'm questioning whether I should open them even though moving them around or storing may get harder. Have you ever received a damaged seat, or one not as described by the outside packaging? They were both brand new. One's a Recaro Como and the other a SafeSeat (part of a travel system). Would you go ahead and "break the seals" to inspect or wait? I was going to open the SS in about 10weeks, which still will allow tons of time to get a different one if needed and also get it properly installed before occupant arrival. The Como add about another 6 months to that, whenever baby is too heavy to carry around in the SS.
