The Car Seat Click Tips
Did you just buy a car seat? Don’t throw out that box or receipt just yet! You may find out it doesn’t work quite right in your vehicle or your significant other’s vehicle and you may need to return or exchange it. If you don’t have space in your house or apartment to store the box, it’s OK to break it down and store it flat.
The last place you want to throw away a box is in the parking lot of the store where you bought the car seat. That nearly assures you that once you get the car seat home, there will be a problem with it and you’ll need to return it

Sage advice! I am a big believer in saving boxes and receipts, and was well trained by my parents. They still have the boxes from their 70’s era coffee maker and warming tray (and the manuals, too).
Britax boxes (the ones in the L-shape) are also key to save. Since they have such good customer service, you never know when or why you might be shipping a seat back to them for a replacement.
personally, I don’t understand why any parent would throw out a car seat box, or, for that matter, ANY cardboard box big enough for their LO to make a fort out of
