Namely, who did it? Better yet, just clarification that it, in fact, wasn't just the car seat manufacturers trying to ilk us all out of money :rolleyes:

The one that is frequantly posted here is a 10 year old Britax seat. I don't know if it was done by Britax though.
Not for sure if you are thinking that it is just put out to scare parents into buying new seats every 6 years but I am inclined to believe it. Not really worth the risk to me to try and push the expiration envelope either. :twocents:

Oh, yeah, I totally believe it (and have the Craigslist correspondence to prove it ;)). There's a very stubborn DH on another message board who doesn't understand (and his reasoning is that it's just the manufacturers trying to make more $$)

It's a Britax seat and the video used to be on ther website, about three or four revisions ago.

I thought it was on the Britax UK site, not the Britax USA site.

Yea it doesn't look like a US seat to me? Definitely looks European.. I guess lol.

I figured it was European, because of the "GMTV" logo in the bottom corner - isn't that like the Today show over there?
