Question Using a seat up until expiration?

Ninetales · May 23, 2017

My 13-month-old is getting close to outgrowing her infant seat, and I want to buy her a convertible soon. But our money is super tight at the moment, I'm debating whether to use our older Myride in the meantime. It expires in December.

1) are people ok using a seat when it's that close to expiration? I know that the answer should be yes, it's fine, but for some reason I feel like I need reassurance.

2) it's been in my husband's car for two years unused. It was a little dusty/grimy but cleaned up nicely. Between the dirt and the exposure to temp extremes, would you feel ok using it?

Yes, I would use it. I have used many of our seats up until the day of expiration since they are intended to be used for their full life. They are meant to be in cars and be exposed to those temperature extremes while being used, so the fact that it was in the car for two years unused wouldn't phase me, either. It actually has less wear and tear than if you had used it the last two years.

I absolutely would feel fine using it up to it's expiration date.
