What to know

Mico infant seats carry 8-year lifespans from the date of manufacture, per the manual. The manufacture date sticker is on the back of the seat; confirm your specific Mico variant in its manual.

The date of manufacture is on the seat itself. All Maxi-Cosi seats have a sticker on the back of the seat with the date of manufacture and model number. The lifespan in years is stated in the instruction manual; combine the two to get the expiration date.

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.
