If you need a spare car seat for a while this Evenflo Symphony will probably fit the bill. It's definitely well used, but has not been in any vehicular accidents, and has not had any "kid accidents" of any kind on it. All buckles, restraints, and SureLATCH anchors are working perfectly. The seat was manufactured July 2012, and expires July of this year (see photo of label). The model still complies with safety regulations - see manufacturer website here: http://www.evenflo.ca/car-seats/symphony/ca_symphony.html?dwvar_ca__symphony_fashion=34612150C&lang=en_ca&cgid=car-seats#lang=en_ca&start=1 $20
