Theoretically car seats, crash helmets and cot mattresses are allowed on Freegle Groups; the general feeling on Freegle UK Central is to leave the decision on whether to take a seat/mattress/crash helmet or not to the member who wants it, so leaving the members to decide on whether or not they wish to take the possible risks. However, many of these issues are emotive. If you have strong feelings about the use of any of these items you can chose to not to allow them on your group. You may wish to consider polling your members first.
Also, by limiting the things that are allowed for safety reasons we can be, by implication, suggesting that all other things are safe. Once you start doing that where do you stop?
