The big thrift shop in town is run by all of the churches. They have an auction there a couple of times a year for antiques and nice items that are donated so I went down yesterday to check that out. Every time that I am there I notice really ratty looking car seats out front with all of the baby items.
There was a booster seat there yesterday, one of the backless ones with the abdominal shield. I decided to say something about it but before I did I wanted to see what the actual DOM was on this thing! I was poking around, looking for a sticker and a man that volunteers there came over. He said, "I haven't checked those ones yet". I guess people just plop their baby items in with the stuff for sale but the volunteers do actually come and check the items before they can be sold. He said there is another man that knows all of the years/expiries and he checks that part of it. The man that I was talking to sorts them for this other man to check. We looked over them together and decided that the three that were there needed to visit the dumpster.
I was getting disheartened by all of the old seats but am glad to learn that they check them and do get rid of them if they are too old or missing parts.
