Used Car Seats

I tend to agree about the expiration date thing. I can't imagine they truly become unsafe that quickly. I'm sure it was the lawyers who made them add expiration dates. It is just like medications. They are good for years after the expiration date but the companies don't want any liability risk so they put the date on. We always use expired drugs. They always work just fine.

I'm curious. How do car seats keep you in business?

Moms (and Dads) putting the kids in the seats, lifting them in and out while putting rotation into their back while lifting - it's a chiropractic gold mine

Never thought of that. Guess I should have, being an osteopath myself.

Of course, having kids in general does bad things to your back, neck, shoulders, arms, etc. Carrying around a 10 or 15 or 25 pound kid on your arm all the time, plus a diaper bag, plus lifting a stroller in and out of the trunk...

OMG, I certainly knew immediately what Scanner was talking about, though it has been 20 years since my infant car seat days. I probably should've seen Scanner for treatment in the first couple years of parenthood, but I did not think of it.

Does anyone use "OMAB" on the internet? "Oh, my achin' back."
