Q. Are convertible high chairs OK for all ages?
A. Those that transition into booster seats and stools should last several years. Generally, your child will give you cues when they're too old for a particular configuration.
Q. Is it safe to buy a used convertible car seat?
A. In some cases, companies only send recall notifications to people who bought and registered their products. This means you wouldn't know if the car seat has been recalled. Additionally, you won't know if the previous owner has been in a wreck, dropped the car seat or compromised the seat's quality. It's best to buy car seats first-hand to avoid potential hazards.
