I have had 4 children the oldest is 22 the youngest is 7. I am also a grandmother of 1-2yr old and in july i will have my 2nd grand child. I have always been a fan of hanging on to certin items that i feel may be useful again in the near future. It wasn't untill just recently I found out that Car seats have an expiration date.

Car seats for children are not cheep they are an expensive item. They are also sometime difficult to move from car to car. I prefer to have one in my car just in case i have the grand child but didn't keep mom's carseat.

Now that i know they expire i don't know what to do. Do you throw it away or is there some way to trade the care seat back to the manufactur to recycle and get a discount on a new purchase? If there isn't there should be!

Let me know if you hear or know of any.

destroy them. you dont want anyone to think they are safe, and use them.
no there is no trade in program, but that sounds like a good idea.

if you post your kids (still in seats) ages and weights, budget, and what kind of car you have, we can recommend some seats for you.

I was thinking about that the other day, there SHOULD be a trade in program. Car seat companies are doing great, but they have a ways to go!

There are some decent inexpensive seats you can get for your car though, give us the kids' stats and we can come up with some.
