WASHINGTON, DC, April 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GoodBuy Gear, the leading online consignment marketplace for baby and kid gear, has announced DC-area parents have the opportunity earn a $10 GoodBuy Gear coupon on the spot, plus payout once their car seat sells, by attending its Used Car Seat Drop-Off event in Fairfax, VA on Saturday, April 15.
GoodBuy Gear’s Used Car Seat Drop-Off event is made possible thanks to the GoodBuy™ Car Seat Safety Check, the resale industy’s first-ever proprietary 30-point safety inspection process for buying and selling gently used car seats. Every individual dropping off a car seat during the event must sign a legally binding attestation certifying they are the original owner of the car seat and that it has never been in a motor vehicle crash. The car seat must also be more than two years from expiration and not recalled. Once the car seat is accepted for resale it will be listed on goodbuygear.com for other parents to purchase and the original owner will earn payment based on GoodBuy Gear’s consignment model.
How To Participate:
- Sign up ahead of time by selecting a drop-off for April 15 at the GoodBuy Gear DC location (2936 Prosperity Ave. Suite B, Fairfax, VA 22031)
- Bring your used car seat to the event and receive a $10 GoodBuy Gear coupon on the spot
- If your car seat passes the GoodBuy™ Car Seat Safety Check it will be listed for resale after the event—and you’ll earn cash once it sells
Parents who are unable to attend the event can still sell their gently used car seats with GoodBuy Gear during regular business hours year-round, pending they pass the GoodBuy™ Car Seat Safety Check. The $10 GoodBuy Gear coupon is only available during the drop-off event.
Over 12 million car seats are thrown away each year, amounting to 180 million pounds of annual waste that takes up to 1,000 years to decompose. In 2022 alone, GoodBuy Gear customers saved nearly 3,000 open box car seats from landfills by shopping with GoodBuy Gear instead of buying brand new. By reselling gently used car seats instead of throwing them away, not only do parents recoup spend, they also create a more sustainable future for their children.
