I've read in so many places not to go with hand me down items for anything that is safety related - crib, car seat, stroller, etc. We just recently had someone offer us a car seat which BF is very interested in getting. He said that other mom is even more neurotic than I am (how sweet so we dont need to be worried. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a used car seat but really its just b/c of what I've read online and in books. We don't need to borrow the car seat to save money.
What would you do?
