Seeking Consignment or Charity to Accept Car Seats
My youngest child has outgrown the Graco infant carrier/car seat (I also have the "base" for it that mounts in the car for it to be used as a car seat). Do you know of a place that will accept the infant carrier/car seat (and base) on consignment? I would love to sell it. Also, in case I can't find a consignment store in Atlanta, if you could recommend a charity that would accept it as a donation, that would be helpful, too. Thank you.

You can always sell it on www.craigslist.com I would look at women's shelters, too. There may be program for teenage mothers, too.

Hi Susan,
I've shopped at this consignment sale which is held in Roswell/Alpharetta (www.secondchildhoodconsignment.com)in the spring and in the fall. They take all sorts of items and I bet your set would be in high demand.
Check it out!

Many churches have consignment sales call some of the churches in your area or go onto their websites. Some locale newspapers also advertise some churches getting ready for those sales.

Many churches in the metro Atlanta area do spring and fall consigment sales that include clothes, car seats, etc. Several of the better ones that I have attended are at Orange Hill Baptist Church on Austell Road, Bethany UMC on the corner of Hurt and Hicks Roads and Smyrna First UMC on Concord Road. Hope this helps!

S.,
Normally consignment sales DO NOT accept car seats as they have NO way to know if the car seat was involved in a wreck at any point in time during use.
However, I do know that North Fulton community Charities off Hwy 9 in Alpharetta (Elkins Drive) will take it and give you a tax receipt.
Also M.U.S.T. Ministries would be happy to receive your donation. They are on 41 Hwy in Marietta in the Old Elizabeth church. They too will give a tax receipt for your donation.
I understand completely about wanting to recoup some of the monies spent on baby items, but resale of car seats I have found VERY hard to do.
HTH,
Barbara
