I have an email from Graco confirming the car seat has not expired. The car seat has been used by grandparents occasionally and has very light wear. The seat cover has been washed as per manufacturer's instructions. (see below) The seat was purchased new from TJ's the Kiddies Store in November 2017 and was manufactured August 2, 2017 and expires August 2, 2027. The car seat has never been in a car accident. Graco Dear Helen, We apologize for the delay; we are experiencing a temporary backlog due to high volumes. Thanks for contacting Consumer Services about your car seat. The car seat with the model number 2013694 with the manufacture date of 8/2/2017 is still safe to be used until it expires on 8/2/2027 as long as it was not in any car accidents. You may receive a brief survey. Please respond to this message directly without altering the subject line if you need further assistance. Thank you, Tabitha Graco Consumer Care
