Peg Perego car seat expiration
Peg Perego states the useful life of its seats as 7 years (infant Car Seats, on Peg Perego's car seat expiration policy page — counted from the date of original purchase, with the date on the seat as Peg Perego's stated fallback) · 10 years (convertible Car Seats, on Peg Perego's car seat expiration policy page — counted from the date of original purchase, with the date on the seat as Peg Perego's stated fallback) · 12 years (booster Seats, on Peg Perego's car seat expiration policy page — counted from the date of original purchase, with the date on the seat as Peg Perego's stated fallback) · 12 years (primo Viaggio All in One, in its own USA instruction manual FIUS2402I348 (warnings section) — 12 years, where the policy page assigns 10 years to "Convertible Car Seats"). The date of manufacture on your seat's label plus that figure is the expiration date.
Peg Perego's clock starts at purchase, not manufacture. The policy page states: "As of January 1st 2023 we have modified our car seat expiration policy. With the new policy the expiration date will be determined by the date of original purchase of the Car Seat." Peg Perego's own tiebreaker when the purchase date is unknown is the date on the seat — the policy page says "If uncertain on date of purchase, please refer to date of manufacture." The manuals say "If a purchase proof is not available, refer to the production date labeled on the seat." Two complications sit on top of that. First, the manuals disagree with themselves about where the clock starts: the warnings sections count from the date of purchase, matching the policy page, while the care-and-maintenance sections of the same manuals count from the production date — the Primo Viaggio 4-35 K manual says "Warning! Do not use or purchase this restraint 7 (seven) years after the production date labelled on the seat or shell." The Primo Viaggio Convertible manual says "Warning! Do not use or purchase the child restraint 10 years after the production date labelled on the seat or shell." The years figure is the same on either reading; the start date is not, and counting from the production date gives the shorter life. Second, the policy page's three buckets do not cover every seat: the Primo Viaggio All in One is an all-in-one harness-to-booster seat and its own manual states twelve (12) years, where the policy page assigns 10 years to "Convertible Car Seats". Read the years figure for a specific seat from that seat's own manual and from the label on the shell, not from the three-bucket table alone.

Where the date is on a Peg Perego seat
Peg Perego's car seat registration page states that the model number, serial number and date of manufacture appear on a white label on the back of the child restraint. Individual manuals give model-specific locations that differ from that wording, so verify per model: the Viaggio Shuttle 120 booster manual says the label is under the seat base, and that the underside carries product name, production date and serial number; the Primo Viaggio 4-35 K infant manual says the product identity label is on the inner structure of the car seat; the Primo Viaggio Convertible and Primo Viaggio All in One manuals give no textual location at all, only pointing to an illustration ("a label located in the picture shown here"). Harness and buckle serial numbers are printed separately on the buckle and webbing and are not the date-of-manufacture label.
In order to properly register your child restraint system, you will need to provide the model number, serial number and date of manufacture. This information is printed on the registration card and can also be found on a white label located on the back of the child restraint system.

Recalls and support
Check any Peg Perego seat against NHTSA's recall lookup — the label's model number and date of manufacture are what the lookup asks for. Registering with Peg Perego means they can contact you directly.
