I just recieved this email from a woman on craigslist about expired car seats and I wanted to know if anyone has heard this..
"Both a firefighter and a safety person from a car seat manufacturer told me that the any car seat that has never been in an accident, recalled, and is in good condition is safe to use. I asked the manufacturer personal why bother to put an expiration date on it at all and she said it's only a precaution in case the car seat is no longer in good condition. The thought is that if the seat us used for 6 years, which is when the expiration is up, the seat will no longer be in good condition. Many times, however, the seat is not used for 6 years. It is used for a year or 2 and then stored. Both parties stated that the criteria listed above is the real deciding factor."
Please let me know!
