Car Seat BOX question....

[WDWorBUST]

Silly I know - but I just bought a Britax Regent for dd - which so far I love. Is there any reason I need to try and hang on to this HUGE box it came in?

Thanks!

We bought the Regent as well. I think we bought it about 4 months ago. We probably held onto the box for about a month, just in case we found anything wrong with the seat. We just put ours in the garage though, so it was out of the way. The kids enjoyed playing in it when we went outside LOL.

I broke mine down flat, and stashed it in the back of the garage. I decided to do this after someone on the car seat forum I frequent had to send hers back to Britax for a problem she was having, and was having a difficult time finding a box to ship it in. The box really doesn't take up any room and we have an out of the way place to put it so I figured why not keep it. But normally, we recycle that kind of stuff right away. Of course, hopefully, I won't even need it but in this instance I'd rather just keep it on hand just in case, since the seat is so big. If I did have to ship it somewhere, I wouldn't want to have to try and find the right size box for it and have the extra expense of buying one too.
