When you’re out shopping for a car seat, one of the first things you’ll want to do is check the expiration date. But what if you don’t know when your Graco car seat expires? Fortunately, there are a few ways to find out. You can check the manufacturer’s website, or you can call customer service. But be warned: If you don’t use your car seat within its expiration date, it will no longer be safe to use. In fact, it could even lead to injury in a crash. So be sure to take care of your car seat and use it as long as it’s still safe to do so.
How to Check the Graco Car Seat Expires Date
Graco car seats typically have a five-year expiration date. This means that the seat may not be fit for use after this time, even if it has not been used or abused. The safest option is to replace the Graco car seat with a new one every five years. However, if your Graco car seat is less than five years old and has never been in an accident, it may still be safe to use. In this case, you can check the manufacturer’s website to see when the seat was made and find out whether it has been recalled or is no longer being manufactured.
How to Replace a Graco Car Seat if it Has Expired
If you have a Graco car seat that has expired, you will need to replace it. Follow these steps to find out when your Graco car seat expires:
1) Remove the child from the car seat and check the manufacturer’s sticker located on the base of the car seat. This sticker will tell you when your car seat was manufactured.
2) Check the date on your existing car seat cushion or insert. This date should match the expiration date on your Graco car seat. If it does not, your car seat is likely still good for another year or two.
3) Contact Graco customer service at 1-800-446-9266 to get a replacement kit. You will need to provide your original purchase information as well as the manufacturing date of your Car Seat.
