Our Rigorous Safety Inspection

Every used stroller and car seat we purchase undergoes a meticulous inspection process to ensure it meets our rigorous safety standards. In addition to requiring the original owner to provide a full history and sign a legal attestation confirming that the car seat has never been involved in any car accident, even a minor one, we perform a comprehensive physical inspection. Our process includes the following:

  • Age: We only purchase car seats and strollers that are less than 4 years old at the time of acquisition and will not resell any car seats within 2 years of their expiration date.
  • Wear & Tear: We thoroughly inspect each item for any signs of rips, tears, stress, or missing pieces. For car seats, this includes checking the foam for damage and the shell for cracks, bends, or breaks. The straps are examined for proper functionality, with attention to any fraying or tears. We also ensure that all clips, buckle mechanisms, and interior doors are fully operational. Additionally, we confirm that all components securing the fabric cover to the seat are present and intact. Signs of water damage or improper cleaning, such as bleach or soap residue, are also checked. For strollers- tire treads, brakes, safety harness and folding functionality are tested.
  • Labels: We verify that all original safety and manufacturer labels, including the model name, model number, and serial number, manufacture and expiration dates are intact and legible.
  • Parts: We ensure that all parts are original and authentic. If any parts need to be replaced, they must be easily sourced from the manufacturer without compromising safety (e.g., shoulder straps, sunshades, etc.).
  • Recalls: We confirm that the car seat or stroller model has not been subject to any recalls.
