Back in 2003 when we were expectingmy DD, we received a Graco LeisureSport travel set that included a jog stroller and a 3-point Snugride with base. We really wanted a 5-point harness, so we never even opened the box (it was purchased from an online retailer and we couldn't seem to get the info to return during those inital crazy post-partum days, soon enough the box was forgotten). We forgot about it in our garage (I know, how do you over look such a huge, unopened box?) The when we moved houses last August, we moved the box. We are now FINALLY cleaning out the back of the garage that has all the (mostly unwanted) boxes from the move that we should have sorted before moving them.
So, there is only one year of so on this car seat before it expires and it is a sub-optimal 3-point harnessed infant seat. But it is otherwise in brand new condition. I've checked and it was not included in the recalls from that period. It is not an ideal seat, but I am wondering if it is better than many of the old seats in use out there. Should I donate it to the local birth education center for use by a low-income mom or should I just destroy it??
I would hate to pass on a seat if it is not safe. But if it has some safe and useful life left in it for someone in need, then I'd donate it.
I just want to do the right thing.
So, WWYD??
