Used car seats in Montreal typically sell for C$57 to C$285 (about $40 to $200). Car seats are the one item on this list where safety history matters more than condition, and honest sellers say so upfront.
Selling a car seat in Montreal
Montreal has the most distinctive moving culture in the country: a very large share of leases end on the same day at the start of July, and for about a week the entire city changes address at once. The second-hand market is built around that single date.
The July moving week produces a concentration of second-hand furniture that has no real equivalent elsewhere in Canada. Prices in the days either side of it are the lowest of the year, and the choice is at its widest.
The outdoor staircases that front so many buildings here are narrow, steep and often spiral, and they defeat more furniture than anything else. Establish the stairs before the price, and remember that winter makes all of it considerably harder.
Measure the outdoor staircase, not just the doorway. The spiral and half-turn stairs on many buildings here defeat sofas and mattresses that would fit anywhere else, and the seller may never have taken it out that way.
Handing it over in Montreal
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
- A clear history with no accident involvement
- An expiry date still comfortably in the future
What pulls it down
- Any accident history, which makes a seat unsafe to reuse
- Superseded safety standards
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the standard label is present and legible
- State plainly whether the seat has ever been in a collision
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.

- The label showing the standard it meets and the height or weight range
Put in the description
- Brand, model, and the standard it meets, such as i-Size or ECE R44
- Confirmation that it has never been in a collision, and whether you are the original owner
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.
