Its reallt not THAT expensive Lol. & especially since its not the same parent picking up everyday, they should really save themselves some hassle and just buy another one.
I wish I put it in my policy about carseats, but I thought everyone was like me and bought more than one. Thankfully I am renewing contracts this month and can make changes!
I agree that seats aren't that expensive and am also happy to hear you are going to make policy changes...it will save you the headache for sure.
I don't have kids in car seats any more and don't transport kids but used seats aren't safe for many reasons and just because nothing bad has happened while using a used seat, it still doesn't mean it's safe or recommended.
I know there is a ton of info out there about this topic and to each his/her own (I'm not lecturing
) I still feel better mentioning it/ Someone else might come along and read this thread and learn something new
