Is there any reason why car seats have an expiration date? Is it just BS or are there legitimate safety concerns? Btw I don’t have kids, so I’m not basing any decisions on this post.

German here. Just checked my car seats, and there is no expiration date on them.
However, we have (European) safety norms that are updated every few years. Seats with a certification before 1995 can no longer be sold or used. The pre 2005 models are not recommended but still pop up on Ebay.
To actually add an answer: here, seats „expire“ because they no longer meet the updated safety norms.
