What should I check on a used car seat or stroller?
The short answer
Four things, all on the labels or the maker's site: which version it is, when the seat was made and when it expires, whether you can register it for recalls, and whether the warranty still applies (7 brands limit it to the first owner or to authorized sellers).
The checklist is below; pick the seat or stroller for what its maker says.

What the maker says
Ask how it was used: a seat that was in a crash may need replacing
Maxi-Cosi products, Nuna Pipa (original)
What the maker says
- The car seat was in a crash but looks fine. Do I need a new one?: Maxi-Cosi strongly recommends replacing it after any crash. This applies even if your child was not in it and you can't see any damage, because damage inside the shell may not show. Call your insurance company after the accident. Maxi-Cosi help article
- We had a small fender bender. Do I need a new PIPA?: Nuna points to the NHTSA guideline: a seat does not automatically need replacing after a minor crash. It only counts as minor if all of these are true: the car could be driven away, the door nearest the seat was not damaged, nobody was hurt, the air bags did not go off, and the seat shows no visible damage. Never keep using a seat after a moderate or severe crash. Nuna help article
