DOM is 2002, so it has one year left in it... Since I have better options for my chilld, I had not considered giving it to someone else to use. Honestly? I'd rather buy some Sceneras for someone than give them this seat. Sure, it's better than nothing or better than an expired seat. Maybe if I destroy it, I'll buy a Scenera and donate it either to someone who needs one (not sure how to find someone) or donate it to an organization that gives out seats.
Actually, I'm volunteering for an agency that helps at-risk pregnant women/new mothers. Many of them are low-income and could probably use a seat, even though many of them may qualify for a seat through WIC. But there is a "closet" of used baby gear that we have access to. There are no carseats in there (and I'd check it out good if there were!). Maybe I can redeem myself of destroying this seat by buying a new Scenera and putting it in the closet.
Regardless, I don't feel good about giving someone else a seat that I don't think is safe enough for my own child any more... I guess that's what it comes down to.
