    expired car seat - as a booster?

    I don't know what to do with this car seat. My understanding "was" that booster seats don't expire, but this is a seat that originally had 5 point harness, so it has an expiration date on it (Dec 2009). We don't have the harness on it anymore. It's a Graco, the tag says LAPB0061A. My...
