Maxi-Cosi Mico XP — expiration
Infant car seat.
Maxi-Cosi ties the Mico XP to a 8-year useful life — mico-series infant car seats. Read from the Mico 30 Infant Car Seat instruction manual (doc 4358-8113, 11.10.20); the identical sentence appears in the Mico Max 30 manual (4358-7953, 5.27.20), the Mico XP / Mico XP Max manual (4358-8074A, 9.3.20), the Mico Luxe manual (4358-8317A, 9.21.22) and the Mico Pro manual (4358-8663, 4.16.25).
Do not use this car seat more than 8 years after the date of manufacture.
