6 years from the date.
:yeahthat: Britax usually has a specific date, not just month/year (at least from the ones I've seen), so you have an actual date that it expires.
New ones are month/year. So by those I'd go to the last day of that month, seven years in the future. Older ones are six years from the date, and they were month/day/year.

Thanks. My oldest seat is from last spring and it still has month/day/year, so I didn't know they'd changed.
Spring 2010, or 2011?
I happen to have a handful of Britax seats in my front room today (all but one are brand new). They range from August 2010 - October 2011. The boxes have the exact day. The stickers on the seat are just day and month. I helped a mom with an old style Advocate last week. The DOM was 06/30/10. As far as I can tell, the new ones all just have month/year on the actual seat.
Spring 2010. Now I'm curious to go look at the seat (it's in DH's car). I know the DOM is 3/1/10 on the box, but maybe it's just on the box and not the seat? Does that mean I can use it for 30 more days without going over expiration (since most people don't keep the box just in case they decide to sell or trade their seat )?
No, it had the actual day on the seat through at least the end of June 2010. The format didn't change until the new design came out. I've never worried about those last few weeks because I've never kept a seat til expiration.
