- Yes. Chicco puts an expiration date on every car seat and every base.
- Check that date before you use a seat or base with your child.
- No. Chicco says to replace both the car seat and the base after a crash.
- This applies even when you can't see any damage.
- Hold the seat or base at the belt path, where the lower anchor strap or seat belt runs.
- Pull it side to side and front to back.
- It should not move more than an inch; if it does, uninstall it and start again.
- You may need to adjust the angle, or switch from the lower anchors to a seat belt install, depending on your car.
