As I see it happen a lot on the local pages I just want to give my customers some information on the dangers of buying a second hand child restraint. If you choose use a second hand child restraint, make sure you check: ~ How old it is ~ What condition its in ~ Whether its been in any accidents ~ Whether it meets Australian safety standards ~ Whether it comes with all parts including the instruction booklet To make sure your child is as safe as possible do not buy, accept or use a restraint that: ~ Is more than 10 years old ~ Has been in a crash, even if there is no obvious damage ~ Has splits, cracks or large stress marks in the restraint shell ~ Has straps that are frayed, worn or damaged If you are ever unsure of whether a child restraint is safe to use please feel free to bring it into Mollys Baby Room and we can assess it for you. I would love to see the admins on the pages make it compulsory to state these details about child restraints when advertising them for sale.
