Learning to walk before I run

I feel your pain ed - we got rid of LG's first seat to the tip, because of the advice about no-one should accept a secondhand car seat - even though ours had been well looked after and hadn't been in an accident.  Chazzers won't touch them with a barge pole.  We did give the second one to my cousin, but it was to be used in 'Grandma's Taxi'.  We were able to give the booster seat away too.  And the only reason we could take LG's cot to a chazzer was because it broke down to a cot/bed, and could legally be sold.  All this gear was from JL, and we'd looked after it so well. I realise the mattress for the cot couldn't be re-used (even though it was clean, we'd used waterproof under-sheets), but the law had changed in the interim with regard to the cot bars, so that couldn't be sold.  

From a safety aspect, it's understandable - but from an eco/recycling/materials management perspective, bonkers.
