Apologies for this, but as a mother fanatical about car seat safety...
There are excellent reasons why you must stop using a car seat after its
expiry date. The car seat can fail, in a crash, and your child could be
killed. Car seats in use get a lot of strain. They get used up, and
worn. They do fail.
I know, I know.. but I HAD to say this. I know Sam's point was
excellent, and I do know mothers who buy car seats that look good, as
opposed to buy ones that do a good job. And horrible care seat makers,
make them to look good and snazzy as opposed to safe. But I HAD TO SAY
IT.
*apologies* I'll go and grovel off to bed now...
