When Do Evenflo Car Seats Expire?
Evenflo says all of its car seats and booster seats now have a 10-year expiration from the date of manufacture. Seats made before January 2025 may have a different expiration date, so follow the date on your seat.
| Evenflo seat | Expires after |
|---|---|
| Any Evenflo car seat or booster | 10 years from the date of manufacture |
Where to find the date on a Evenflo seat
Every Evenflo seat has its date of manufacture on a label, usually on the bottom, side or back of the seat. The expiration date is on a label too, with the model name and number.
Evenflo car seats after a crash
Evenflo says to stop using any car seat that has been in a crash right away, because there may be internal damage you can't see.
NHTSA says to replace a seat after a moderate or severe crash, and that a seat doesn't automatically need replacing after a minor one: NHTSA's five conditions for a minor crash.
