I'm the kind of guy that thinks I might be able to sell it for a good price, if it is high quality, after the use. Making the total money spent way less. But that begs the question, why not rent these out for 18 months at a time?
- abfan1127 3y agorenting assumes previous users properly maintained these seats. Car seats are "supposed" to be disposed of in the event of a collision due to possible cracks or other fatigues in the structure not necessarily visible to the end user. If you rent, you have to assume the seat was not in a structurally significant event. That's a lot of trust.
- esalman 3y agoGiven how these car seats are advertised as having high-tech materials, I wonder if the manufacturer can install a crash detection module in them.

- roland35 3y agoThe foam doesn't stay good for long, I think the car seats we had expired after 6-7 years? Also car seats can't be used after a crash, even if visually they looked ok. Maybe they could be refurbished (new foam, etc), but obviously this is a liability concern and probably isn't worth it.
