Disclaimer: I am not posting the carseat for sale, I just want to know what you would do with it.
I posted our Decathlon on the board a few weeks ago and mentioned that the cover was slightly faded on the top. Someone else mentioned to me that I was missing the two pieces of foam that go on the bottom of the seat near the child's legs. I called Britax and said that I was disappointed that the cover was faded after 3 years of use, especially because it was in a minivan with tinted rear windows for most of the time. The woman I spoke to said that they had an onyx cover available that they could send me. She did not say anything about sending my old cover back to them, or anything about the seat. It has been a few weeks but every time I want to call Britax either I have no time or they are closed. Today Avi's mother calls me and says that she got a package from Britax. She said one was a big box and one was a small one. I went over and the small package is the foam, and the big package is a brand new Onyx Decathlon, DOM is January 08!! I am shocked!! I thought they would send me a new cover because my other one was faded, not a whole new seat!! YAY!!
Now for the question.... Avi's mother has been TTC for 2 years, it took her 4+ years to get pregnant with Avi. She said that maybe we should try to sell the old DC and MA and keep this one for the potential younger sibling. I was thinking we should try to sell all of the seats because she is not preg at this time so it would be at least a year before the baby would be in the seat since she will get an infant carrier, and who knows what else will be out at that time. WWYD?
Update:
I called Britax today about the Regent recall and I told the woman that I had received a new seat and would they want the old one back. She said "we wouldn't want to inconvenience you, you do not need to send it back".
