It's yard and garage sale season, and I just want to caution the possible sellers and buyers against buying used car seats that have an unknown history.

It may seem like a good bargain at the time, but car seats are something that you really shouldn't go cheap on. There are strict guidelines for how to use and even sell or manufacture car seats, and with good reason. Please take care of your littles by ensuring that they're as safe as can be in your vehicles.

It's also illegal to sell expired seats or seats that do not conform to the current Health Canada standards, so please be mindful!
