Kids' Car Seat Expiry

Something that’s come to light recently is that kids’ car seats expire! 

The life span of kids’ car seats (including capsules, convertibles and booster seats) does not depend on how well the seat was looked after, how many children have used it or even how often it has been used. Instead, look for the embossed stamp on the seat which tells you when the seat expires or when the seat was manufactured.

In general, kids’ car seats expire after 5 – 10 years from the date of manufacture.
