A car seat has an average lifespan of 6 to 10 years from the date of manufacture, but it is critical to check the expiration date on the seat itself for correct information.
The expiration date is usually specified on a label or sticker attached to the seat. Several variables can influence a car seat's longevity, including exposure to severe temperatures, prolonged sun exposure, and any involvement in small incidents that jeopardize its safety.
If you're unsure about the age or quality of a car seat, prioritize safety and replace it with a new one. Finally, protecting your child's safety is vital.
