Are you guilty of keeping them in storage without even considering recycling, donating, or selling the car seat?

A couple of days ago, I was decluttering the attic, and under a pile of coats, I discovered not one but two of the old car seats!

They are way past the expiration date and developed dents from neglect, so logically, they are no longer usable or safe.

As a part of my annual spring clean-up, I always separate the things we no longer use and either donate them or throw them away.

However, something about these car seats made me keep them!

I couldn't throw them away just because my kids could no longer use them, and there was absolutely no way I could sell them with this kind of damage.

So, what did I decide to do? Keep them in the attic and let them collect dust!

Well, to keep you from making my mistake (and help you declutter), I did my research and found out all there is to know about what you should do with old car seats.

Believe it or not, the dumpster is not the only solution, so if you are looking to be eco-friendly or spread some kindness over the holidays, keep on reading.
