I bought a Harmony Defender seat yesterday, on January 2nd, 2014. The manufacture date is January 26, 2013. Would you keep a brand new seat that already has 1 entire year off it's use?
I looked for expiration and it says on the bottom that the seat expires 10 years after dom. Is this really true for the harness part too? Or just for the booster portion? So, it would expire January, 2023.
New baby is going to be born in March. I would like her to be able to use this seat ff until she turns 6, which is March, 2023, If it is really a 6 year expiration for the harness and we already lost a year, she won't make it until 6 years old in it. I do not want to buy another ff seat for my parents car. If it is really 10 years, it probably isn't worth messing with because by the time it expires when she is 9, I can just buy a cheap nbb. She might still need a booster through her 10 year old year, so I would have to get another booster anyway.
And just FWI, seat is for my 4 1/2 year old now in Grandmas car. I just want it to make it through all 4 kids. I am not using it for the new baby now! Also, Harmony needs to change the name. It is called the Harmony Defender Convertible seat, but it is not a Convertible seat!!
