Car seats are a big investment for families. That’s why when a good deal comes along, it’s best to jump on it. Whether you’re looking for an infant, convertible, multi-mode or booster car seat, here are some of the top deals we found for you from Amazon and Walmart during Prime Big Deal Days (Prime Day part two).
Some brands don’t typically discount their products, but this is one of those times to take advantage. From a rotating Evenflo to a convertible that will see your child through their teen years, there’s something for everyone at these prices.
Keep in mind that some of these discounts are only available for a limited time, so act fast! Also, be sure to read the fine print before making a purchase. For example, in some cases, the car seat may only be used on your own vehicle. Some will also require a special click-in/click-out base, which can add to the overall cost of your new car seat.
While some parents are wary of buying second-hand baby gear, it is actually legal in the US to sell used car seats as long as they are still in safe working condition and have never been in a motor crash. However, the material in some types of seats does degrade over time and can compromise its performance. It’s important to note that you should not rely solely on second-hand car seat sales as many scammers exist to lure unsuspecting consumers into purchasing unsafe products.
When shopping for a second-hand seat, make sure you look at its “sell rate.” This number will tell you how much the product has been selling recently, which can give you a clue as to whether it’s likely to be safe and in good working order.
If you want to know if a specific car seat is safe, a CPST (child passenger safety technician) can inspect it for you. It’s also a good idea to visit the car seat manufacturer’s website and look up its recall history.
As an aside, if you’re interested in starting your own online store to sell car seats or other baby gear, it’s important to learn the ropes and find out what buyers are searching for on popular platforms like eBay and Amazon. This can help you optimize your listing and market your products to the right audience. Using tools such as AffiloTools Keyword Research tool can help you determine what people are searching for in your niche. Then, you can use those keywords in your listing to drive traffic to your site and boost your chances of a sale.
