Did you know car seats have an expiration date? That\u2019s right! So, how do you know if it\u2019s safe to use a secondhand car seat? Here are some things to look out for when you\u2019re looking to buy or borrow a used car seat.<\/p>\n
So why do car seats expire? They aren\u2019t food, there\u2019s nothing that can get moldy if you take care of the seats properly. So, what\u2019s the deal? Well, just like anything you use often, as a car seat gets older the wear and tear grow more prominent. Normally, this really wouldn\u2019t be an issue with other items you use. However, since car seats are for the safety of your child, wear and tear isn\u2019t a good thing. So, it\u2019s important to pay attention to the expiration date. You can usually find it on the tag on the side of the car seat.<\/p>\n
If the car seat was in a crash don\u2019t buy or borrow the seat. The integrity of the car seat can be compromised in a crash. You can usually find the expiration date of a car seat on the tag located on the side of the seat. Many seats expire after 6 years, so if you know when the seat was made you can guestimate when that expiration date is.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t know the history of the car seat, it\u2019s probably best to not buy or borrow it. Sure, there might not be anything wrong with it, but that is still a huge risk you\u2019d be taking, and you won\u2019t really know until it fails to do its job.<\/p>\n
