What to know
WAYB states plainly that the Pico expires seven years from the date of manufacture. Do not confuse that with the three-year limited warranty, which is much shorter than the service life. The labeling sits at the bottom of the seat in red text, and the same label carries the aircraft certification statement worth showing to cabin crew.
The date of manufacture is on the seat itself. The date of manufacture is on the sticker at the base of the seat. The manual points to the label on the bottom of the car seat and includes an illustration that circles where the model number and date of manufacture print. The aircraft certification label is on the bottom of the seat as well, in red text.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the WAYB Pico good for?
The WAYB Pico has a useful life of 7 years from its date of manufacture. The exact date is printed on the seat's own label, so check the sticker on the shell or base rather than counting from the purchase date.
Where is the expiration date on the WAYB Pico?
The date of manufacture is on the sticker at the base of the seat. The manual points to the label on the bottom of the car seat and includes an illustration that circles where the model number and date of manufacture print. The aircraft certification label is on the bottom of the seat as well, in red text.
Should I replace the Pico after a crash?
WAYB applies the NHTSA criteria rather than a blanket replace-everything rule. The manual reproduces the five minor-crash conditions and allows continued use only when all of them hold: the vehicle drove away, the door nearest the seat was undamaged, nobody was injured, no airbags deployed, and the seat shows no visible damage. Where any condition fails, or where you simply cannot tell whether the seat was damaged, NHTSA and WAYB both say replace it. WAYB asks owners to email help@wayb.com after a crash, and points you to your insurer for replacement coverage.
