Which means anything the previous mother had you can pass onto baby. Yuck! As
for car seats, a
car seat should be replace after a
car accident, regardless of whether it looks damaged or not, and since you may never know if it was or not it is best just to buy new. Anything else, feel free to buy used. I have purchased bedding for my crib, clothes, etc. This way and have never had any problems. I am an avid ebayer, but haven't really gotten anything on craig's list.
