It expires in 2013, but it was manufactured in May of 2006! :mad:

I am getting more and more frustrated with my order from Learning Curve. I am guessing the other B505 we got was mfg'd around the same time. Will have to open it here in a bit. :(

Would you complain or what? I already shot off an email to LC about the TF not being the right pattern/color.

I looked on learning curve and the b505 was the one that was marked down. If you paid less then what the b510 was then I wouldn't complain too much especially since I was under the impression they weren't making the b505 anymore.

I got one of their boosters that was manufactured 2 yrs ago to. I called them about it and CSR said he had no idea how I would have got stock that old.

Needless to say it went back. I paid full price for a seat that I expected the full life span from.

I wouldn't have bought them, marked down or not, 50% off or not, had I known they were mfg'd two years ago.

I emailed CS about this as well. Would call but my kids are loud right now.

I guess I should've known better.

Remember that the Compass seats have an 8 year expiry. Soooo, your booster still has 6 years left on it.

Not according to the Giraffe B510 I bought.

DOM is 3-10-08
Do Not Use After: 3-10-15

OP, the DOMs and DNUA dates are on a label on the box, you don't need to open it to find them.:)

Why not?

You're still getting 6 years out of the seat so as much time as any booster you would have bought anywhere else but it cost less:confused:

Tons of people bought the compass infant seats at big lots for $40 that were already a couple years old because they were a good deal. Where else are they going to find a front adjust 5pt seat lines with eps foam and built in lock offs for $40 brand new.

I have one of those infant seats, NIB, sitting up on a shelf in my garage. It's been there for over a year. LOL

It doesn't expire until the end of 2011, IIRC. I am hoping to finally break it out this fall.

I guess I am picky. Sorry.. :/

We don't mean to make you feel bad;) I'm just wondering if there's a specific reason that you wouldn't buy a new seat that was discounted because of the age.

Of course I'm cheap too, so I have no problem buying something I know I'm only going to use for a certain amount of time if I get a good deal on it.:D
