What to know

The Grow and Go expires 10 years after the date of manufacture. The date is on the sticker on the back of the seat, and many shells also carry a molded do-not-use-after date.

The date of manufacture is on the seat itself. A sticker on the back of the seat shows the date of manufacture and model number. Many Dorel shells also have an expiration or DO NOT USE AFTER date molded into or printed on the plastic, often on the bottom or back of the shell. The lifespan itself is stated in the instruction manual.

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.
