how long are car seats good for Page 4

Car seats have an expiry date, and no, it's not just a suggestion. Typically, they last about 6 to 10 years depending on the manufacturer and model. Beyond that, the plastics and materials degrade, potentially compromising safety in a crash. Plus, safety standards evolve, so that shiny old seat might be a relic by today's requirements. Always check the label on your car seat for the exact expiry date, and if in doubt, consult the manual or ServiceCentral for guidance.
