How do you figure out how much to charge?
This would be a seat that still has a good amount of life left in it (not expired), has never been in an accident, not recalled, well-cared for, etc... I wouldn't sell an unsafe seat of course.
Thinking down the road a bit, I may need to sell ds' Boulevard which I bought last year. He seems awfully close to the top slots so no telling how long the seat will really last him. If I sold it I could justify to dh replacing it w/the Regent. DS is only 31-33lbs right now (at age 3-1/2), 40" tall, and I would like him to stay harnessed until he's closer to 40lbs but on his current growth curve, that is a long long time away and I'm sure he'll have outgrown the BV well before then. Almost kicking myself for not buying the Regent to begin with however at the time the BV was on sale ($235) and I wanted to keep him rear-facing as long as possible.
Or, say he's got an inch of growing room in the BV, is it possible this car seat may still last him until he's around 5yrs? His torso growth has seemed to slow down but I'm just wondering if that is even a realistic expectation?
