Am I missing something?

Somebody has posted on the Philly CL to check the car seat dates before selling because "ALL manufactures of these seats have an expiration date. Most of 5 years, except Britax is 6 years."

These are the things that make me feel like I'm on glue. Isn't the default expiry date 6 years? Or has that changed and I didn't get the memo? :confused:

SOmeone apparently went to the "Better safe than sorry" school of seat disposal.

I must have missed that memo too.

Most are 6 yrs, I *think* peg is 5, SK is 7, some Dorel seats are 8.

Oh...and the Graco Nautilus and Britax Frontier are 9.

Okay, thank you. I thought maybe I'd sniffed one too many Sharpie marker while I was labeling boxes this weekend lol.

Should I respond? Or email the person? WWYD?

FWIW, I've been a tech for seven years and I've never heard five years for any seat, except for the EZ on vest.

Peg Perego seats are the only ones I know of with 5 year expirations.

Maybe they were reading the date stamp on Evenflos or Gracos which are so often totally wrong you can get as little as 4 years plus the months till that next december :p (though they say 6 from DOM on the FAQ's)

SK is eight years, and the Nautilus is six years with the harness and high back, but the low back is nine years.
