Frequently Asked Questions

How long do car seats last before they expire?

Car seats typically have expiration dates 6-10 years from manufacture due to material degradation and changing safety standards. Check the label or manual for your specific model's expiration date, and never use a car seat past this date or one that's been in a moderate to severe crash.

When should I switch from rear-facing to forward-facing?

Keep children rear-facing as long as possible within the seat's weight and height limits, ideally until at least age 2 but preferably until age 4. Rear-facing provides better protection for the head, neck, and spine in frontal crashes, which are the most common type of collision.

Can I buy a used car seat?

It's generally recommended to avoid used car seats unless you know their complete history. You need to verify they've never been in an accident, aren't expired, have all original parts and instructions, and haven't been recalled. The safest option is purchasing new from a reputable retailer.

How do I know if my car seat is installed correctly?

A properly installed car seat should not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back when pulled at the base. Many local fire departments, police stations, and certified technicians offer free installation checks. The harness should be snug with no slack, and the chest clip should be at armpit level.
