Most car seats expire within six years of the manufacture date. Plastic car seats break down over time – especially in the Arizona sun. The harness can break through the car seat if a car seat is used past its expiration date. Garage sales and trash cans are not the answer to unwanted, old car seats – de-manufacturing and recycling is. Car seats do a great job protecting children, but at the end of the seat’s life they contain many materials that could be recycled.
