Used car seats in London, Ontario typically sell for C$57 to C$285 (about $40 to $200). Be direct with yourself first: if this seat has been in a collision, however minor, it should not be resold at all — and if you cannot vouch for its full history, say so plainly in the listing.
Selling a car seat in London
London, Ontario is a mid-sized university and hospital city surrounded by farmland. The student population is large relative to the city, and the academic calendar governs the second-hand market more clearly here than in a bigger centre.
Leases across the student areas turn over together at the end of the academic year, and that window puts more furniture on the market than the rest of the year combined. Winter here is cold enough to slow everything down.
Easy to drive and easy to park, so collection is straightforward year-round apart from the depths of winter. The student districts are concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip realistic.
Furniture sold in the end-of-term rush is priced to disappear, which is the appeal and the risk. Look at upholstered items in daylight, because a great deal changes hands sight-unseen in that fortnight.
Handing it over in London
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
What car seats are worth
What lifts the price
- Original instructions and all harness padding
- Current safety standard labels intact
What pulls it down
- Any accident history, which makes a seat unsafe to reuse
- Missing harness pads or the original manual
Working out what yours is worth
- Find the manufacture and expiry dates moulded into the shell
- Confirm the standard label is present and legible
Getting it ready
- Establish the expiry date, moulded into the plastic shell or on a label. Most seats expire six to ten years from manufacture and an expired seat should not be sold for use.
- Wash the cover, check the harness webbing for fraying, and confirm every buckle latches and releases cleanly.

Steady demand all year. Seats with a long remaining life and a documented single owner sell quickly; anything close to expiry sells slowly and should be priced as such.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
