2012 compliant? - a 2011-12-19 manufactured 22-699 Eddie Bauer SureFit

Unregistered · Sep 24, 2015

This is a bit of an older question resurrected, but from what I understand:

I can receive/be gifted and use a carseat made in the "grey area" just before 2012:
- as long as its within its expiry date
- and if the manufacturer verifies it still meets current regulations
If it is not verified to meet the 2012 regulations, it would be safe for the prior owner to use but I cannot receive or use it.

I have been gifted an Eddie Bauer SureFit, 22-699, manufacture date 2011-12-19.

I have not seen this model in any of the old threads about 2012-compliance. I have a number I can call and see from the car seat, but I don't know if they will even still answer that.

How else could I check, or does anyone know how I could?

I also can't imagine that a seat manufactured literally days before the new regulations wouldn't meet them, but I don't know.

Correct.

If you call they should be able to confirm. I suspect that it IS compliant with that date. Does it require the handle to be up? That's the defining feature on compliant vs non seats. It's a twin to the OnBoard seats.

I'd encourage you to go over a used seat checklist carefully before determining if it's safe to use. And if not, I'm sure we can suggest something that would!

Thank you for helping me make sure that I'm understanding these regulations correctly!

So all I had left to do was call the number during business hours.

After getting through to the number, they confirmed that

- this model is 2012 compliant
- and they can email me the manual with installation instructions
