Do Baby Car Seats Expire?
January 26th, 2010
Yes, baby car seats do expire. You can try to look for an expiration date on the bottom or side of the seat. There should be some info about expiration in the users’ manual too. If you can’t find any information on the seat and in the manual, you should call the manufacturer and ask about it. They would probably want the date of manufacture and model of the car seat. Baby car seats expire within 6 to 10 years from manufacture. If you’re not sure about the dates it would be safe to condemn the seat 6 years after you bought it. The same rule goes for car infant booster seats.
