So yesterday, SJC was offered a free secondhand carseat. A coworker of hers had purchased the carseat at a garage sale, intending to put it in her car for her soon-to-be arriving grandchild. However, she now wants to get rid of it because the mother (her daughter) doesn't want her child riding in a secondhand, garage sale carseat. So she has offered it to us, free of charge. The question is whether or not to accept it?
On the one hand, this is a nice opportunity. It's one of those newer carseats that comes with a base and a carrier, the kind we'd be buying anyway. And it's free. On the other hand, I don't really like the idea of a secondhand carseat, and I really don't like the idea of a carseat that was picked up at a garage sale. It's probably irrational, but I'm just not sure I'm psychologically comfortable with used safety items.

So we thought we'd put it to a vote. Take the poll, and if you have a strong opinon, leave a comment:
