yeah, but if u have extra money, why not buy for different ages?

all baby seat has expiration date.
the longer u use one, the more stress and more used it is.

and buying something just for newborn is not a compromise.
most seats that can do multi age is a compromise.

erm, sorry but wat does the expiration date of baby seat means?
the warranty?

good brands, usually is 6 years from manufacturing date.

meaning after 6 years it is not safe to use.
if accident happen and the safety seat doesnt work, u cant blame them because its expired.


same like car tyres.
have expiration date.

even if u dont use.

As from what I reading around, generally, the car seat will expire 6 years after the manufacturer date. Eg. the material of the car seat making not going to last long after 6 years and with the higher risk that it won't works as expected after the expiry date.

Glad to see the awareness here. Over here people dont even want to strap their babies. In western countries 7 year olds still sit in child seats.

1) What car are you driving? - vellfire
2) U planning to use seat belts or isofix/latch? - isofix/latch
3) Are u planning to have more than 1 child car seat at the car rear seats?- nope
4) What are your priorities in sequence? - safety, comfortable

currently looking at Joie every stage FX and Recaro young sport hero, however the recaro 1 only for baby starting from 9 months old, so at the moment i think Joie every stage FX is a better option.

any other recommendation? how is graco 4ever compared to joie every stage fx?

Wahh bro, u have upgraded your car <thumbs-up> and congratz on becoming a father soon.

Before i proceed to give some advice, please take note on some golden rules below of child car seat.
1) Rear-facing of child car seats are 5 times safer than Forward-facing. So try to buy those child car seat that have the highest rear-facing weight limitation.
2) Never put child car seats with airbag (Eg. Front passenger seats with frontal airbag). Side airbags are fine. The safest child car seat position in the car is the middle rear seats for sedan. For MPV, it is the 2nd row middle seats.
3) Highly recommended to replace your child car seat if it is involved in a car accident even it is a minor one.
4) Every child car seat have a expiry period. Child car seat manufacturers have tested the child car seats so it can work as expected before the expiry period. Therefore, there should be a manufacturing date stated on the child car seats. Sadly, some countries including Malaysia does not enforce this rule because retailers will have a hard time selling the child car seat. All-in-1 child car seat usually have a higher expiry period (eg. 10 years and above)

Buying multiple stages child car seats are usually more expensive than buying All-in-1 child car seat. But all-in-1 are a risky investment due to the 3) golden rule. All-in-1 car seats usually take up alot of space but i think u wont have that issue in Vellfire.

Graco 4ever 4-in-1 is a very good child car seat and have many good reviews. Graco Extend-2-fit is also a very good child car seat because your kids have more legroom in rear facing position but it is not an All-in-1. If u want best of both worlds, try to buy the Graco Extend-2-fit 3in1.

One thing to take note is most of our cars are Emergency Locking Retractor seat belts. Graco child car seat are mostly cater for Automatic Locking Retractor seat belts therefore they do not have built-in lock-off. Hence u need to use Locking Clip provided by Graco for cars with Emergency Locking Retractor seat belts and child car seat that do not have built-in lock-off.

According to child car seat manufacturers, it is recommended to replace the child car seat if your car is involved in an car accident. This is because it might have become weakened by the impact of the accident even if it doesnt appear to be damaged and might not be as effective in the future. Tats why they have child car seat insurance in other countries. But in my opinion, if it is a slight grazed or minor knock on the car bumper, it is maybe fine but check for any cracks or white lines on the child car seat.
Yes, it is quite hard to find a freshly new one unless u buy from online oversea. I bought mine from Ebay US therefore it only expire less than 1 year.
Due to these reasons, it is not recommended to purchase 2nd hand child car seat or take used child car seats from others.
