Would you ever buy a car seat off Craigslist?
I'm pregnant with what I plan to be my last baby. My previous infant car seat is expired. I can't stomach the thought of spending $200 on a car seat I'll use a handful of times for a year. (I don't go in the car much and I usually switch my babies to a convertible seat around that time).
I see some listed that the owners' claim have never been in an accident and I'm only looking in more upscale neighborhoods (so I don't feel like they're lying for the money)
I know all the warnings not to, but I'm so tempted...

Nope. I buy Graco for around $100 new from
Target.

No it’s better to buy new. You never know if the car seat was in an accident and people lie.

I wouldn’t. I have to buy a car seat now, for what will probably be my last kid. I’m buying a not so expensive graco.

Which one are you getting? I'm not so thrilled with some of the reviews on the $120 one, and the price just goes up from there

Nope. I’d only take second hand from a trusted friend or family member.

I still have a few months, I haven’t decided yet.

Someone posted a link in this thread that explains the differences between all the different graco car seats. I found it very helpful, but haven’t made my decision yet.

You can buy a graco forever model that’ll last until the kid no longer needs a car seat

Thank you. I already have a convertible car seat that is fairly new, and I absolutely need the convenience of taking an infant seat in and out of the car for a newborn

You said that you will only use it a handful of times. Are you sure that you absolutely need it for such a small number of times?
Keep in mind, convertible car seats can be used rear facing for newborns.
If you really feel it's needed, there are infant car seats you can get for under $70 from walmart. Look for Evenflo. No need to spend $200 or risk safety witj a used car seat.
