Car Seats Have Expiration Dates. Get $100 Off & Free Shipping on the True Fit Car Seat!

Written by Carrie Pacini on June 11, 2008 – 1:38 pm -

Did You Know that Car Seats Expire Six Years from the Date of Manufacture?
Am I the only one who didn’t know this? You can find the expiration on one of the labels located on the side or bottom of the car seat. If there’s no expiration date listed, use the date of manufacture plus 6 years. I have Learning Curve to thank for my new found knowledge.

Big Thanks to Learning Curve
They sent me a True Fit Car Seat to try out and I have to say I really love it. It was easy to set up, I never have to adjust the harness, and my friend Marla was able to fasten my daughter in fast. Those who know Marla, can guess why this is worth mentioning. Fact: She went with me to pick up my son from school, and you would have thought she was an alien visiting planet Earth. But seriously, this True Fit Car Seat is the “luxury cruiser” in car seats. I can use it until my daughter reaches 65lbs. It really is the only car seat you’ll ever need. Unless it’s been seven years and/or you have another child. ;)

So Check This Out!
Learning Curve has launched a group on www.opmom.com, called Safe & Fun Family Travel. This group is focused on family travel with tips on managing your children and keeping them occupied, as well as car seat safety. Oh and it gets even better! * $100 Off & Free Shipping on the True Fit Car Seat * The first 100 moms to join the group, take the survey, and qualify will get $100 off & free shipping on the True Fit Car Seat ($200 value). To learn more about this program, visit www.opmom.com/learningcurve

All participants will receive free product samples, or deep-discounts on certain items, and will be invited to discuss their experiences and feedback in an open setting. This makes for honest mom-to-mom reviews in real life scenarios. Once you join, say hi to Heidi, one of our very own OpMom members, who is the official Mom Leader for this program.

If you’re not in need of a car seat, share this with a friend so they can be one of the first mamas on the block to own the “Mercedes” of car seats!
