Experts are warning of the dangers of using second hand car seats and are advising parents not to purchase seats from anywhere other than reputable retailers unless they are certain the seat has not been damaged in an accident, and are provided with the original instruction booklet and all other components.
It is estimated that around one in ten second hand car seats currently in use could be dangerous because they have already been involved in an accident.
