I knew my DDs Marathon that was in DHs truck was expiring soon...so when the straps needed to go up to the top slots I figured I would check it. Well I searched all over the sides of the seat and found nothing, I thought maybe the sticker came off or something until DH lifted up the seat cover and there it was on the front of the bottom of the seat, with a date of....March 2003
I almost had a heart attack! I know we want to get her a Frontier 85 to have in the truck, we just dont really have the extra funds right now. I tried her in our spare seat, Evenflo Titan, and she is too tall.
So...I had a Marathon shell in the garage with a date sometime in 2006. I stripped the expired seat of the crotch buckle and straps because I bought new ones 2 years ago and then put them in the seat from the garage. Only problem with that seat is that I bought it from someone because I wanted the cover, they did assure me it was never in an accident and they knew I was just buying it for the cover so I figure why would they lie. Other than being filthy the seat was in great shape.
Do you think this is a safe temporary seat for her? She primarily rides in my vehicle and is only in DHs truck a couple times a week, but she needs something until we can get her a Frontier.
PS...we dropped the expired seat off at the recycling center in town, with no straps or buckle so hopefully nobody thinks they can use it...
