Free: Small plastic containers w/lids (Near East/Union & Marquette) Expired About 15 tiny plastic containers w/lids - rounded or spherical. These are the containers you get with little toys or really cheap costume jewelry from those coin-op vending machines in grocery stores and restaurants (the ones that drive parents crazy).

Free: Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 Car Seats (Hawthorne/Near east side) Gifted Two Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 car seats with original infant accessories and manuals (see pics). These seats can be used for little ones from 5 to 100 lbs; they go from rear facing to forward facing to booster. These car seats were made in 2018 and 2021, respectively. As a fellow parent, I guarantee that they are NOT expired (good for 10 years; check Graco’s website) and have NEVER been in an accident. I can leave out for porch pickup or meet you somewhere to drop off. I would love for these to be put to good use rather than just tossed into the landfill. Alternatively, you can recycle them at Target’s next car seat recycling event (April 2025) and get coupons for free baby/toddler gear.
