What is the expiration date for this seat (how many years is it good for?)

Sorry it took so long for me to answer it's 6 years from the date it's manufactured.

On page 4 of the manual it reads to discontinue use of Recaro Pro Sport after 6 years or if an accident occurs. My daughter, almost 3 years, has been in the seat for 2 months and we both thing it's awesome. It's a solid seat, very comfortable, quick to buckle and unbuckle, low profile and tons of room to grow. I did hours of research on seats and the Recaro is the best by far. Highly recommend the purchase. -Joanna

I'm not sure which recall you are referring to, I searched and couldn't find any recalls for THIS seat. HOWEVER, I did receive my order today, that I ordered on Apr 14, and checked the manufacture date and it says it was manufactured on Mar 22, 2014. Given that it was that recent I'm sure any recalled issues have been fixed. I'm installing my seat tonight via latch so I'll be sure to report back if there are any troubles.

mine is scratched up and worn out in less than a year...I really wish they would make this with a plastic adult seat. I complained and they sent another, but same thing. I even used gentle baby shampoo to see if it was the lysol wipes I was using causing the problem. I love the function of the seat. It's the BEST. But replacing them after not even a year of use, is not great.

I can't answer when it expires bc it depends on when it was manufactured. But yes it does convert into a backless and the 2 cup holders slide in love this seat so worth the money my son loves too

Most say it is good for one year, but I have used mine for well over 2 years with no problem. The smaller tubes will go very fast lasting about 6 months of daily use so expiration should not be an issue. I use this sun screen everyday after my moisturizer under my makeup. It also has a very good oil control effect.

I've had this for about one year (since Christmas 2012) and I use it 2 days per week, 8 hours each day. No loss of support yet. In fact, the seat looks almost the same as when it was new. The cloth over the seat is slightly stretched, but not really noticeable.

I believe they are good for a year or two. I remember checking the expiration date and knowing I would be using mine up before that date.

I wondered the same thing; and the answer is yes. The seat has 'manufactured on' date.

I don't know how old your child is, but they recommend a 5 point harness as long as possible and in our state boosters are supposed to be used until 8 or they meet the height/weight requirements. With this seat you would definitely get several years in the 5 point as well as a booster after that. I can't remember exactly, but I think this seat has a 6 yr expiration date so it should last someone most if not all of the child's "car seat life". :-)

The expiration date for all carseats, as I've heard from the stores, is 7 years. So the model we bought, Size4Me65 , will expire in autumn 2021.

Not sure on the expiration... It does covert to backless and the cup holders slides into the seat.

yes!! the plastics lose some of their strength causing them to be more likely to break down and apart especially in an accident. I do childcare and have always heard that five years is the "expiration date"on carseats. I always replace mine by 5 years. Best of luck with your decision!

I think it's about 2 years. The one I bought has a date about 2 years from when I bought it.

My seat does not slant forward, and it is a comfortable seat. I've had it since March, 2011. Still looks good and works well.

We have never had this problem. Our seat was purchased in early November 2014. Hope this helps.
