are the car seats sold on amazon due to expire very soon? I know if I purchase directly from GRACO that the exp date will be longer down the road

No. Amazon sells most car seats very fast and frequently and they do not sit around. I bought one a few months ago and it had only been manufactured a few months prior. They also have a great return policy, just in case.

Actually no, my wife and I order the Snugride 35, on July 25, 2013, and it had only been manufactured 3 weeks prior, so if anything, they are brand new. Chances are Graco stores a greater supply, so your are less likely getting a newer one directly from the manufacturer.

The Graco car seat I recently ordered was manufactured less than 2 months prior to the date I received it. I doubt ordering direct from Graco could give you a newer seat than that.

Every car seat has an expiration date. Usually around five years or so from the date it was made. Car seats deteriorate slowly over time when exposed to heat, sun and cold.

My guess is that it is unlikely as it would be based upon production date. The good news is that the problem only occurs after a child has spilled food and drink on the buckle. If you plan to order, I would go ahead and visit the Graco site. All you have to do is enter the style carseat you have and they will mail a replacement out right away.

This would be a question for the Seller (Amazon or whomever you purchase from).. I am just a consumer. I will say that the exp date on mine is out far enough for me that there isn't any chance they will reach expiration before I use them all.. (About 2 years).

This seat expires 6 years from the date of manufacture. The Radian is 8. I believe one of the newer Britax may also be 8, but the Radian is the only seat I know for certain is longer.

I purchased mine around March, 2011 and they all had an expiration date of June 30, 2012. I still have part of a can left, and I really can't tell the difference in quality despite it being "expired" for 4 months now. It's hard to say what the date will be, but I haven't yet received anything from Amazon that was going to expire within 6 months.

When I ordered it in the past the expiration date was a year from when I got it. Amazon has always been good about not selling near expiration stuff unless stated and discounted for the reason.

The price was same as the one I bought in 2009. But the qualities of the car seat went very low. Can I get exchange service from britax? Everytime when I load my baby to new britax car seat, it feels so horrible. The old one (2009) has very nice fabric, comfort cushion and a big audible sound in click and safety. Can I exchange an old model of britax riviera in 2009 even though I do not have a box for the car seat??

The coupons expire 90 days after they have been mailed. I just requested mine, assuming Amazon would be ready to accept them. If they won't take them until Jan. 2009, mine will have expired months before. Amazon is dropping the ball on this one.

Amazon is NOT an authorized reseller of Aeron Chairs according to their list of resellers. If you buy through them, even though the new chairs come with that 12 year warranty, I would advise going over it very carefully so see if it would actually be honored if something went wrong with the chair. You wouldn't want it invalidated because you did not buy the chair from an authorized reseller. If it were me, I would just buy it from an authorized reseller and save myself the aggravation of having to be concerned about it.

i saw this car seat at costco for 84.00. is it a different year?? why is it so much cheaper at Costco?

It's 6 years from the manufacture date on the actual seat. The reason for this is the foam inside the carseat breaks down after time and becomes unsafe!

Not sure without seeing the box or seat but they have long lifespan. 3-7 years. Britax website tells how long each should be in service and I have never purchased a seat over 6 months old from manufacturer date w any of the 4 I own from them. My kids will be out of them before the date. At 4 they can get in a booster based on height and weight. My 3 year old is big 99% and I moved him to frontier model and his 8 month sibling is in old model boulevard. I have this frontier for other vehicle. Figure when my 3 year old is bigger little one take over booster combo and 3 year old will be 5 and in regular booster. Not sure without seeing the box or seat but they have long lifespan. 3-7 years.

Answer from their site to a costumer with the same question:. We do have a 5-year expiration recommendation for all of our car seats and bases.Most car seat experts do recommend that you not use a car seat or base that is more than 5 years old from the manufacture date (located on a white sticker on the bottom of your car seat). The theory is that as plastic ages it becomes brittle, so it may not perform correctly in a serious crash. The harnesses and other components also wear, and the car seat may no longer meet current standards.- See more at: http://blog.pegperegousa.com/2011-collection/2011-primo-viaggio-sip-3030-faqs/#sthash.1NTih6G7.dpuf Answer from their site to a costumer with the same question:.

The expiration date will be on the package I have never received anything from amazon that was expired.that is just my experience

Not sure if there is an expiration date on the seat but this is the best seat on the market right now hands down. We have now purchased two of them for our kids. Really easy to secure, move around and adjust for a growing kid.
