how long do baby seats last Page 4

Baby seats, or infant car seats, typically have a lifespan of about 6 to 10 years from the date of manufacture, not purchase. Beyond this, the plastic and materials degrade, compromising safety. Check the label or manual for the exact expiry date—yes, they actually expire like milk. Used baby seats are often found on PuppyList or Tradingpost, but beware of second-hand seats without clear history. Always consult the car seat's official documentation to ensure compliance with Australian safety standards.
