What to know

Baby Trend lists the Trooper 3-in-1 convertible at 7 years from the date of production. Unlike the Cover Me and Hybrid, it runs on one number for every mode, so there is no second date to track as your child moves forward facing.

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.
