My brother gave us his children's car seat for my DS when he was born 2.5 years ago. It had been used for his 2 children, never been in any accidents or damaged. We bought a compatible isofix. Now we are getting ready for baby number 2 and dug the car seat out of the loft. I've just read the instructions and it states that the car seat shouldn't be used 5 years after manufacture. It's about 6.5 years old.
Now I'm not sure what to do? It's not been in any accidents or damaged, but now that I've read this, I think we should just get a new one. I'm a couple of days overdue so we're a bit late sorting this out! WWYD?
