Question Britax Companion infant seat?

It has a 9 year expiration date????

I know that my MA's don't so why is this different?

(Ad on Craigslist caught my eye) that said "manufactured in '05 so there are 4 more years until it is "expired." I personally don't think a car seat can have an expiration date on it, but there is."

I think I am losing my mind LOL I *know* this HAS to be wrong but wanted to be sure before I sent her a message...

Perhaps you can send her this, their website and the excerpt about the expiry.

When does my seat expire? The service life for Britax infant carriers (including the base), convertible car seats, youth seats (such as the Britax Regent), and belt-positioning booster seats is 6 years from date of manufacture. The Britax Frontier Harness-2-Booster seat has a service life of 9 years. To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage, do not use child restraints or booster seats older than their service life or if it has been in a moderate or severe crash. You can find the date of manufacture on the child restraint/booster seat serial label.

So it expires in 2011.
