We will move to Europe next year and I'm already thinking what to do with our Boulevard. I can not find the manufacturing date but I think it is 2007. So next year 2011 it would have only about 2 years useful time left. I'm worried if I give it to someone they will use it after the expiration or move their child to booster too early as the convertible expired.


Also can I whine a bit about Britax & Buy Buy Baby. I bought the seat april 2008 thinking it would have 35lbs Rf limit. I researched online and read from britax website that Boulevard went to 35lbs RF. As a new parent I could not think that it would be possible to buy a seat from a store that would have a different weight limit than stated at their website. I'm afraid DD will be over the 33lbs limit before our big move so we need a new carseat for only few months but the 35lbs limit I though I bought would have probably been enough.:mad:

I'd sell it and make sure the people buying it knew the timeframe on it. In fact, I did with our Wizards (which expire in September and October of this year). I sold them in 2008. But I sold them at a price that reflected the fact that they had just shy of two years of life yet, and the person who bought them knew that.

You can only point to the expiration date on a seat so many times. Even parents who buy new seats run into expiration dates a lot.
