Infant Car Seats
Did you know that car seats should be replaced around every five years even if they haven’t been in a crash? It’s because older materials get brittle with age and also because newer car seat designs get better with time.
You should never use a car seat that has been in a crash. That includes minor crashes.
Don’t buy used car seats. In most cases, the sued car seats cost nearly the same price as buying new. In addition, you don’t know the history of the car seat.
The other factor with car seats is to check for recalls. You don’t want to have a defective car seat. You can click the link below to see if your car seat has been recalled.
