My sister has a Tribute with DOM 2010-2-18, and the sticker says it expires 2018-2-16. That's a mistake, right? Shouldn't it expire in 2016?

As PP stated, there is some confusion on that but I don't think it's a mistake as in a misprint.

Some 2010 Evenflos have an 8 year expiration date for some reason.

About a year ago, KMART had a killer clearance deal on EFTAs for $34.99 and Safety 1st Avenues for $17.99. We swarmed the store and many of us scored some that had 6 year expiration dates while others got the seat with the 8 year expiration date.

For example, I have an EFTA 50 DOM 2/10/10 (DD2's bday by the way:D) which has an 8 year expiration date.

I also have an EFTA 65 w/ a 1/11 DOM but has a 6 year expiration date.

I sold an EFTA 50 w/ a 3/10 DOM but had a 6 year expiration date.

;)
I don't recall hearing about any statement by Evenlfo that the 8 year expiration dates were a mistake.

Here is EFTA Review on Amazon, where the reviewer stated an 8 year expiration date. Someone left a comment that the seats have a 6 year expiration date and he replied that both of his January 2010 models have 8 year expiration date sticker on the seat and registration card: http://www.amazon.com/review/R16R9OLALC6OYG

I called Evenflo (b/c I'm geek and wanted too:)) and spoke with a rep. Ronnie. She stated that there were some Evenflos marked with an 8 year expiration date for a period of time. She stated to follow the sticker on your carseat & that it's not a mistake. She stated that some newer models now have a 6 year expiration date. The expiration dates are not retroactive. So please follow whatever is on your particular carseat.

And then you have Maestros that have 8yrs in the manual but 6yrs on the warranty card and sticker on seat. Hopefully they have fixed that issue (it's been a little while). That is some of the main reason I moved away from the Maestro. Love the seat, but don't love the confusion with the company.

Unless you got lucky and got one like my Titan. It says 2006 and "do not use after December 2010" Stupid! I called and they said no, that was wrong, the expiration is 6 years, not 4. I would have been very upset to have bought the more expensive seat (rather than the Scenera) and only gotten 4 years out of it. I'd just call if you have any question.

Oh no! That is confusing. If you like the seat though, continue to use it--just call Evenflo to get clarification--everyone makes mistakes--human error at it's best;)

I have a Maestro stickered with 6 years while the manual says 8. I called, they said 6 years and to disregard manual. I'd much rather err on the side of caution and just use for 6 years anyway.
