I bought a $140 car seat for $75 shipped!

I would only buy something like this from somebody that I trusted and you obviously trust this person so well done on buying such a bargain! I got alot of the stuff that Ihave for my daughter second hand off people that I trusted and I had no problem with it!!!

I love a good bargain. I hardly ever purchase anything new. I do lots of shopping and selling on eBay and I love it. Since I'm such a fan of saving money, I would probably buy something like a car seat that was used. Why not? You got a good deal!

I would buy something if it was relatively new since its doubtful that there's anything wrong with it and it usually is up to code. My mother in law wanted to give me her youngest son's car seat and I was like, "ummmm" LOL because the thing was 14 years old! It didn't look anything like the ones we have now and she didn't think anything was wrong with it. It was covered in dirt and grime too. I think I mumbled something about needing a car seat that we could take in and out of the car from the base lol

we bought our carseat new, cuz of all the things you read and such, (like you mentioned), but we had a used crib (we bought a new mattress for it though), and most other stuff we had used, such as the high-chair, and swing and such. most of the items are always still in great shape as the baby grows so quickly, so it doesn't get worn out. i just sanitize everything before use!! we then donated all of our stuff to another friend! what goes around comes around! congrats on the deal you got! that sounds great!

I say good job! I bought my daughters new-- My mom bought one from a friend- We were lucky enough that most of the other things that we needed for my moms- family members had- We all passed them around until they were not safe or worn out- I bought almost everything new though- I only had 1 child- You are having 5- Do you have alot of things that you kept?? especially with all boys- hand me downs galore!
