Question re: Graco serial number

cookie123 · Sep 11, 2012

Does anyone know, does the serial number include the year manufactured? The seat in question is a front adjust Snugride and the DOM has been scratched off.

It's JJ200712050263.

TIA!

Interesting... I notice 20071205 which could either be May or December of 2007- can you find the molded expiration date and see how that compares?

NO, as least not until Weds, when I'll have access to the seat again. Maybe I'll email Graco.

Graco didn't answer my question regarding if that number translates to the date of manufacture, but they did say the car seat expires 12/31/13.

Hmm, so that is 6 years after 2007- still don't know if it would correspond to the month and date though. If somebody doesn't beat me to it, I'll compare a Graco serial # with DOM probably tonight.

I didn't think month and day mattered so much for expiration with Graco seats since expiration is Dec. 31 of the 6th year after DOM. So if the 1205 is 12/05 or 05/12, the expiration would be the same.

good eye... that is probably your DOM... otherwise, if I need to order parts and I want a different cover, I'll bring up that seat's serial number and make up a realistic dom to get it to bring up those parts as able to be ordered.

Right, 07 is 07. They use December dating. The plastic should be molded with "do not use after December 2013". IIRC, it's on the back side of the seat near the harness adjuster (under where the baby's feet would be, but you have to turn it over to see).

ETA: I'm quite sure that is the DOM, and I believe it would be December. Chicco puts day before month (as is the European convention), but most US companies use year/month/day.

They use their Dom as serial too. These are my two seats.

auto correct hates me

When year is first, it's typically year-month-day, no matter where you're located. Can't say I've ever seen year-day-month. When the year is not first, most countries use day-month-year while the U.S. uses month-day-year. Canada uses both day-month-year and month-day-year. The latter I find is often on the receipts and paperwork from stores that are U.S. chains and have come here. Banks and such use the former as do the universities in my province. I'd think that was typical for post-secondary schools across Canada but I can't be certain.
