Consider posting locally for reuse once cleaned though FreeCycle, Craigslist, Facebook Buy Nothing in your city group, or such if the car seat has not been in an accident and has not expired. (See expiration date on sticker on the frame).
Child Car Seats - Working/Non-Expired/Accident Free
Child car seats are designed to fit inside an automobile's backseat to secure small children. (Expired car seats, or those involved in a car accident are considered "Rigid Plastic" & can be recycled once the seat is stripped of its cover &/or straps/buckles. Give the latter away to owners of similar models for use as back ups or replacements due to spills.)
