Dorel Extends Useful Life (Expiration) on Most New Carseat & Booster Models

FacebooktwittermailFacebooktwittermail

Dorel LogoDorel (parent company to Cosco, Safety 1st, Eddie Bauer & Maxi-Cosi) has increased the useful life, a.k.a. expiration, on many of their products. It is not retroactive, but it does apply to both Canadian and American seats. In line with many other manufacturers increasing the useful life of their products it deflates the theory that expiration dates are there as a ‘cash grab’ designed to make consumers spend more money. If that were true expiration dates would be shrinking!
