Having used a second hand booster seat for my daughter, I can testify sun damage is a real thing. I could not pass it on in good conscience. And we replaced it with a more modern and much sturdier version.
That’s not to say I think all seats should be summarily discarded after an expiration date because some people (like me) don’t garage their car. I’m saying there is some nuance to this choice.
- jakobegger 7y agoA booster seat is just a piece of plastic that's supposed to raise your kid to the correct height for the seat belt, right? Does it really matter if the material is still sturdy in a booster seat?
- CodeWriter23 7y agoIf it cracks into knife-like shards, I think that would matter. The updated booster however was like a car seat. The car's seat belts held the seat which in turn had a 5-point harness.
