my dump has a swap shack that you can come and drop things or take things. we have been frequenting lately since we are low on cash and i "new" toy or two can usually be found. unfortunately so can a OLD car seat or two. i picked up a july 1997 evenflo discovery today. the guy that runs it was there and i told him about the expiration thing "they can't gaurentee the strength of the plastic" is what i said so i was straight forward and believable. i told him that if he sees them to just junk them. there is a date made on all of them. i told him 6 years to keep it simple. seemed not to be the smartest fellow, but interested and i made sense to him "you mean because it gets brittle?" precisely! it's a really clean seat too which is the scarry part-i KNOW someone would have taken it.

our play space is right down the road from here so we are going to start adventuring over there on a regular basis for car seat trashing. guess i don't need therapy!

What a great idea! (the Swap Shack) I know people who toss out good stuff because they can't be bothered taking it to Goodwill. And also great idea to waylay those expired carseats before someone else gets them!
