I destroyed all the expired car seats I had in storage in my garage and had been given/found on the side of the road this afternoon and boy was it satisfying! My Husband and my best friends Husband had the honours!
There were seven seats in total.. all are now broken beyond 'repair' and their straps cut up.
The most shocking though, would have to be the Evenflo Ultara that my friend bought for $10 at a market. Made in 1998 (I think). Apart from the fact it's quite obviously expired what else do you notice?
It's a 5 point harness seat.. turned in to a 3 point harness seat, no stickers, or anything with material sewn over the original cover. Obviously whatever child had been using it, had been using it as a 3pt for some time, as the obviously worn cover had no holes in it on the sides for the straps to come through. Look how the harness is threaded!
To the dump they go!
