What to know

Evenflo's FAQ gives the Transitions 8 years from the date of manufacture rather than the 6 that applied to most older Evenflo seats, because it is used from harnessed seat through no-back booster. The date of manufacture label is on the bottom, side, or back of the shell.

The date of manufacture is on the seat itself. The date of manufacture label, which also shows the model name, model number, and expiration information, is usually on the bottom, side, or back of the seat. On infant seats check the underside of the carrier and the base.

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.
