What to know

Baby Trend's standard infant seats and bases expire 6 years from the date of production, printed on the label on the underside of the seat and base.

The date of manufacture is on the seat itself. The date of production is on a label on the underside of the car seat and on the underside of the base for infant seats. The same label carries the model number needed to identify which lifespan applies.

Safety note: SeatCheck summarizes manufacturer and NHTSA guidance, but the label on your own seat and its manual are the final word. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer with your model and serial number.
