Evenflo Portabout 5 expiration date?

I have an old Portabout 5 infant seat (used it for DD and for a couple months with DS), DOM March 2004. Does it expire this month, or is it December 2010? I've loaned the seat to my step-brother, so I can't exactly look at it right now, and want to make sure I tell him if it needs to be tossed. I can't remember if Evenflo is 6 years after the DOM, or in December of the 6th year. Thanks!

I thought only Graco had the good till December rule. I thought Evenflos expired 6 yrs from DOM. I don't have any at the moment so I can't check. I will on Thursday though when I am back home. I can check our spare seat.

December of the 6th year. I did a seat check on a portabout 5 last month that was DOM Feb. 04 and in fact it said Dec. 2010 right on it. Its on the back in raised plastic set out on those stupid clock dial thingys.

Thanks everyone! I was thinking Graco was the only December of the 6th year brand, but I couldn't remember.

Gah, I really want to destroy that thing. I hate it, but in my brother's situation, it was needed and served it's purpose.

I think the baby is probably approaching 22lbs now anyway, so I sent him a message asking about her weight and whether or not he has another seat. Hopefully he'll give me the seat back instead of passing it on or putting it out at the curb. I want to give it a proper farewell. :evil grin:
