Just a reminder to check the manufacture date of your seat and follow the expiration guidlines on your make and model (most seats expire after 6 years from the manufacture date...but there are some that expire after 5 and some that expire after 9 like the new frontier from britax)

this is a 10 year old britax...and the reason you want to replace them after on average 6 years is because the plastic deteriorates over time and can't be seen with the naked eye...
