Using an expired car seat is not considered safe, and experts don't recommend it. If you want your car seat to protect your child... manufacturers do not guarantee it'll do its job past the expiration date.
The Manufacturer's Alliance for Child Passenger Safety says brands stamp seats with expiration dates because exposure to food, cleaning products, and other environmental factors can degrade materials over time.
Enhancements in car seat materials, design, and safety technology happen all the time, which means regulations and safety standards change. Expiration dates help outdated models make their way out of cars.
Over time, parts may be lost, reinstalled incorrectly after cleaning, or just have some wear and tear from use. It's crucial to take expiration dates seriously.
