We have invoked a new rule from this point on at MyConsign. We will no longer be able to take in or sell car seats. While some of you will be very disappointed in this, it is for the safety of the most precious gift we get in life, our children. Since we cannot guarantee any shopper 100% that a car seat has NEVER been involved in even a minor accident, then we feel we should not put your child at risk for the sake of making a profit. After reading our concerns, hopefully you, too, will agree that it is just not worth the risk:
- The new owner does not know the full history of the car seat. This is critical because this could mean life or death of a child.
- The seller may think that a very minor fender bender wasn't a big deal and really wasn't an accident. However, the reality of it is that ANY car seat that took took crash forces, even MINOR, which could cause a defect in the car seat and cause a complete failure in another accident (severe or non severe).
- Some (remember it only takes one) may just flat out lie on any waiver just to make a buck. It is unfortunate, but a very possible occurrence in the world we live in today.
Thanks for your understanding!
