About Car Seat Expiration Date

Car Seat Expiration Date is a free, independent tool. It helps parents and caregivers calculate a car seat's expiration date from the manufacture date and the manufacturer's stated useful life.

How we check our information

Brand lifespans on this site come only from the manufacturers' own web pages (Britax, Chicco, Evenflo, Graco, Clek) and crash guidance from NHTSA. Each page links its source and the date we read it. If we could not find an official figure, we say so and ask you to use the number on your seat's label or manual. This site is not affiliated with any car seat brand and is not a substitute for your manual or a certified child passenger safety technician.

Corrections

Manufacturers update their guidance. If you spot a difference between this site and your seat's label or a manufacturer page, please tell us through the contact page and we will re-check the source.
