Yeah, but the salvation army rejects any used furnishings or appliance that appear to have been, well, used.
We must not live in a very poor nation when I had furniture rejected for donation because it was no longer in style (and FORGET about a used baby car seat).
That is a liability issue, pure and simple. In fact, a person should never use a used car seat as they can be dangerous. There are programs in place to provide low income folks with new car seats...most of them based in the private sector.
It's all well and good to be offended sometimes...but in this case, don't waste the effort.

Well if they are REALLY used ... there is a point of no return and the dump is the next best home for the item.

I've had no issues with them on a baby playpen, car seat, changing table, desk, bureau - in fact they picked it up at the house. It was in good shape.
