We are expecting our third baby in March. When we were over at my Mom's house yesterday I noticed an infant seat sitting in her garage. I asked about it and she said she had bought it at a consignment sale to use to pick up our baby from daycare. She will be doing this once a week and daycare is an in home daycare about two blocks from our house.
I immediately went into a "no used seat that I don't know the history of for my baby" speech. She argued that she would only be going a few blocks and I was overreacting. DH initially backed me up, but then I just ended up being the crazy carseat lady who spends too much time online.
I know I am right, but now I am just second guessing myself because I feel bad. I know my mom was just trying to help out. The seat is a Graco Snugride with a manufacture date of 2008 and it looks like it is in great condition- but I know nothing about whether it was in an accident or not. I mean, probably not, but I just don't know.
I guess this is sort of a vent... but I do want to know...I am doing the right thing right?
