I have NEVER heard the 3 kids rule. Makes no sense to me. Some use their infant seats for 4 months, some for 15 months per kid. It's not about amount used, but how old the plastic is.


I've never heard that either.

When you throw away your expired car seat, cut the belt so it cannot be used by anyone who may pick it up...just a tip.

How long does it stay good for? I have a 2 year old and am expecting in July. Would I need to get a new one already?

6 years or as someone mentioned, or 3 kids, whichever comes first.


6 years, unless the manufacturer sticker says otherwise. Some seats last longer. I believe the Britax Frontier (which is like the Graco Nautilus, only $200 more expensive) is good for 8 or 9 years.


10 years, but they aren't allowed to market them as such in the US.
