I'm not sure about this.
Hmmm.... should I email her and suggest she give it to a tech for training? On one hand, if the seat really was only in a minor crash and Britax says it's okay, this would be great for a low income parent who needs a higher weight seat. But at the same time, I am squeamish to see someone take a used AND crashed seat, even if the person appears to know her stuff.
FREE: Britax Marathon car-seat
Car-seat was manufactured January 19, 2005
Cover is black and gray. All original pieces and instruction book.
Rear facing 5-33 pounds, front facing 33-65 or shoulders over top harness position. Will last most children rear facing until 3 years old and front facing until 5 years old or until January 19, 2011. Do not use this seat after January 19, 2011 or after your child is to heavy or too tall. You will need a booster after this seat.
THIS CAR-SEAT HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A WRECK.
I was rear ended and the car-seat was not occupied at the time. It was put in fron facing with the latch system. According to Britax, the accident was minor and the seat does not need to be replaced. However my insurance is paying to replace it so I am going to. Since I am getting a new seat and my son is almost to big for this, I am giving it away.
PLEASE ONLY TAKE THIS SEAT IF YOU TRUELY CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW SEAT FOR YOUR CHILD!!
A used car-seat is a risk, and this seat HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A WRECK. Normal guidelines are to destroy a seat after any crash but this seat meets the criteria for a minor crash and therefore is considered by Britax to still be safe to use. However you must make your own decisions as a parent.
This is a very easy to use seat and very safe when undamaged. All car-seats are equally safe if used correctly every time.
I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY NEGATIVE OUTCOME FROM USING THIS CRASHED CAR-SEAT. I recommend that you buy your child a new car-seat and do not use a used one. However if you can not afford a appropriate seat for your child, this seat is available.
