We've passed along second hand baby seats and used second hand babyseats, and just check the expiry date on the seat, apparently the plastic or straps can get brittle over time. And make sure it has not been in a car accident, (we've only given them or received them from people we knew).
If it has been in an accident, there could be cracks you can't see type thing, which is why it's reccommended not to take them from people you don't know.
