In my area we have huge issues with consignment shops selling expired seats. I go every friday to about 6 of them and take the ones they cant sell off their shelves. I dont get why they dont just stop selling them i've told them how to see if they are expired and why its dangerous but they seem to like me to do it for them.
What really gets me in the shop thats the worst for it sells mostly expired evenflo discoverys for 29.99 our walmart sells new ones for 28.98.
I'm planning on making an info seat with all the information about expired seats and the used seat checklist and a list of EVERY recalled seat and taking it to every consignment shop in my city (not town. city!)
I dont know what the consignment shops do with the seats i say cant be sold. I havent seen them back on the shelves (i've gone in and spot checked midweek). I;ve gone to checking the whole baby section. One had this gorgeous crib so i wrote down the serial numbers to try to find two and it turns out it was recalled! And after checking it, its slates were too far apart (just barely) so i've learned now to just check it all.
Are there laws about selling seats with aftermarket products? One shop has a portabout with a head support on it but i cant decide if i should make them remove it (i would if i knew how to get the straps off the portabout. Its a rear adjust harness and i've never used one.)
I think its aganist ebay rules to sell expired or broken seats. I know you cant sell recalled seats that arent fixed (if its possible to fix them). if you report it it may take a while to be taken off. they get tons of complaints to wade thru every day!
