Yes! We love the generosity of the community, but sometimes we have to decline certain items in the interest of safety. Due to routine product safety recalls, we may have to refuse certain cribs, and baby gear. Also, due to expiration dates now assigned on child car seats, and for safety reasons, we cannot accept car seats. We generally do not accept mattresses; however, we will make exceptions when they are in excellent condition.
