Hi,
I've been seeing a lot of "expired seats" for sale on CL. Sometimes, I send a response about the 6-7 yr. expiry date, where to get more info. I recently received a rude response from an individual quoting ICBC/TC that seats without expiry dates are ok if they are less than 10 yrs. old. The site did comment about 6 yr expiry dates stating it has to do with thepossibility of labels missing from seat and other items, but did not discuss the possibility of seats/plastic cracking down in an accident due to wear/age.
So, what is the real answer here? I know we all advocate/educate people about the 6-7 yr dates.
Also, how can we all educate Craigslist sellers about proper car seat usage?
