Hi
I'm a granny, need to replace a cover on car seat for toddler. It is an older model, does anyone know if I can get a replacement
cover and how easy is it to put on?

The usual advice is car seats have a life span.
Maxi cosi advise 10 years, so it would be safe to assume your seat has come to the end of it's safe life span.

I'd buy a new car seat. our axkid seats have a 10 year life span.

As the other poster has said. They have a limited life span because the polystyrene degrades inside of them. And safety standards change over the years and so it may no longer be up to spec.

Buy a new seat. Car seat design has improved to be safer over the last decade and plastic and polystyrene degrade.
