Petite 3yo who normally rear faces needs a seat while vacationing with grandparents. Seat choices are MA that expires dec 31 or ff only seat. The vacation goes into the first week of January.
Wwyd for your own child?
Will the child still be rear facing in a new seat once home from vacation? Or will they then be going forward facing?
I'd use the seat RF without a 2nd thought.
That said, Britax is 6 years from the date of manufacture, NOT December of the 6th year so if it actually was made on December 31st, then yes, use it. If it was sometime earlier in the year, no way.
I feel like such an idiot!! The DOM is April 2008!!! I have no idea why I thought this seat had its days numbered lol! If i hadnt posted this i would have never checked!!
At least I'm glad this happened because now I can remind my friend who's using my old graco bucket that she has to stop on December 31!!
How, exactly, would anyone know?
As a tech I'd tell others to respect expiration.
For my own kid I'd consider it an option depending on other factors. Insurance wouldn't likely be an issue.
Since it's not expiring yet though, no worries.
