@beniteza11

Car seats 'expire ' due to the plastic/materials wearing down over time.

@maya......

Look for trade in deals online. Target has one, toys/babies r us did one too.

Please follow the expiration date. Don’t do your own research and do what someone random says, including me. Go to safekids worldwide website and find a local Carsest tech (CPST) in your area and they can explain things better to you 😊 if you find them through safekids they are legit certified. Safekids works with the national highway traffic safety administration to provide training and certification to car seat techs.

@maya......, hahaha ok! I was like oh well. I tried. 😂

@tegandavis16 lmaooo no not at all! I thought it was a happy face lol my bad

@maya......, are you being sarcastic? Lol you gave me an eye roll? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@tegandavis16 thank you for the advice 😊

@amk212 thank you

@beniteza11, the plastic breaks down. That’s why they expire. You don’t want it to break in the event of a crash because of broken down plastic. They do all kinds of testing to figure out how long they last. If they never wore down then they wouldn’t have to put expiration dates on them.

You can also do your own research. Lots of different things said.

@maya...... I see it now. Lol funny.

I would keep the stroller but look at getting or doing a trade for the car seat. As shayybear has said the plastic can wear out over time, in the event of an accident or if you have to stop suddenly at a higher speed the seat may not offer the protection needed, it may appear in good condition but there could be hairline cracks that are near impossible to see.

You can actually turn the seat into a few different things (a seat to use at the table and so on) and certain charities take them too for that very reason.

Sorry to hear people gave you a hard time, it's completely unnecessary. Us mums (and dad's) should help one another not tear each other down. Chin up mumma x

@beniteza11 Google plastic fatigue.

I wouldn’t use it if it is expired or has been used at all. Car seat safety is no joke. I agree to see if you can trade it in somewhere for a percentage off a new one. I would also check out babies r us. Their prices are getting lower.

Oh yes. I forgot about the trade in. I think Target just had theirs so it may not come back till this fall. But definitely look online. And no you do not have to toss the stroller. That is perfectly fine to keep.

@maya...... idk you can try. I wouldn't have sold it without the information.

Ok your able to take the washable parts off and take a look at it. Dont see how plastic goes bad unless broken.

@beniteza11 you think they would care lol? It's not like I can get a refund 🤔

Really no reason for carseats to expire other then safety regulations changing. And if it was in an accident. But do what you feel comfortable with.

Strollers are ok

Reading some things online if it hasn't been in an accident and straps look ok. Then you should be ok. Idk. Some say it's ok. You can also try to get ahold of seller and tell them.

@lilnote yea that's the good thing. Should I also toss the stroller?

Oh no. But yes I would cut the straps and toss it. I hope you didn't pay much for it 😔

@lilnote It says "do not use after May 2014"

Some places take them. Toysrus did a trade in deal.

What was the date, if you don't mind me asking.

@maya......, or give it away for free. I didn’t see any attitude. The user just stated her opinion.

@bulmabreigh3 it's about a carseat. My dumbass didn't check the expiration before I bought it. It's been expired since 2014. I was blinded by how nice and well taken care of it was. My question was if i should throw it away :(

@beniteza11 well I'm glad you haven't. It's sad I can't even ask anything without getting judged

I haven't seen that yet

Agreed
