Help with expiration date

I hope I'm posting this in the correct place, this site is HUGE! Okay, I have five kids and I've done this carseat thing for 12 years, but today I am stumped. I'm trying to figure out the expiration date on my Graco Nautilus. I bought it a year ago, right when they came out so this isn't making sense to me. Of the four circles (0-3 and 1 is marked) (0-9 and 3 is marked) (1-12 and 3 is marked) and (07-12 and 08 is marked). Doesn't this make the expiration date in 2008? I know I must be reading this incorrectly. Can someone PLEASE help me?

Is it possible that the date of manufacture was 7/12/08? I don't have this seat, so I'm not familiar with their system... and I'm not sure exactly when you bought it, but this seems to make the most sense to me :)

The manufacter date is on a sticker on the bottom of the seat. Add 6 years for the harness/hbb and 9 years for backless booster.

There might be a "do not use after Dec, 20**" stamp underneath the base. (Atleast my GN had that.)

Ahh, thank you so much. I knew I must be looking at it incorrectly! The owners manual says "expiration date is on the bottom of the seat, do not use after this date". I didn't even see the sticker with the manufacture date on it. I knew it wasn't as tricky as it looked! :p
