Eli5: Why do kids car seats expire?

1.16K views

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.

Frequent use and sunlight can cause the plastic to degrade or warp. Ultimately making it not safe to use. So, just a way for people to know they need to replace it so they ensure the safety of the child using it.
