Although I've noticed other Freecycles prohibit offering used safety seats, my local Freecycle sucks -- their excuse to allow used seats is that some people might use them for artistic purpses.... PUHLEEZ! What's the chance of that? I'm guess like less than 1% :thumbsdown: It was like pulling teeth just to get them to post a link to the Used Seat Checklist from the NY state Gov. Traffic Safety website & still no addition to the rules about actually using it I've rescued dozens of seats in the past 2 years & only 1 was not expired or otherwise unsafe The admin never approves of my posts to the list about the issue & never responds to my attempts at communication (to be fair on that count, I have grown so frustrated that I've accused him/her of simply not caring whether the children in our community live or die ) Sooooo, instead I simply keep reposting "WANTED: child safety seats: carseats/boosters" (signed SafeKids certified Child Passenger Safety Technician: seats will be used for training purposes) I've gotten a bunch more seats in a much shorter timeframe this way & guess what -- they're all unsafe. But, to make matters worse yet still, the admin continues to edit out my disclaimer that all used seats must be demolished or donated to CPSTs :dizzy: :doh:
