The Facts
Car seats can only be used for 6-7 years and then must be
disposed of! The reason for this is the fact that the when the
plastic is used in the hot car on a regular basis it begins to
breakdown, causing the seat to loose its original strength. The
solution for disposing of these car seats is to smash them so
that they are no longer usable and someone cannot pick one
out of a dumpster for use. This solution fixes the problem of
people using unsafe seats for their children, but does not help
with our growing landfills.
Picture piles and piles of old plastic car seats covering our
earth. Something must be done to make a change; we cannot
be throwing away this plastic and further polluting our planet.

| Why Should I Recycle My Car Seat? Car Seats Expire – Yes, car seats have expiration dates. Due to their exposure to extreme conditions (like heat and sun), the plastic from which they are constructed generally degrades in five to six years. All car seats have expiration date stickers on them. Car Seats Can’t Be Used After Accidents – This is why car seat reuse isn’t a popular option, since potential buyers are often unsure if a seat has been in a collision, which could weaken the safety structures in the seat. |
