Read your label against the formula
Find the date of manufacture on the seat's label, then add 10 years — the same month. As Safety 1st applies it:
| Manufactured in | Reaches its stated life in |
|---|---|
| 2019 | 2029 (same month as your label) |
| 2020 | 2030 (same month as your label) |
| 2021 | 2031 (same month as your label) |
| 2022 | 2032 (same month as your label) |
| 2023 | 2033 (same month as your label) |
| 2024 | 2034 (same month as your label) |
| 2025 | 2035 (same month as your label) |
| 2026 | 2036 (same month as your label) |
Where the date is on this seat
On the side of the car seat. The Grow and Go / EverFit All-in-One Convertible manual (item 4358-8705, rev. 05.12.25, linked from the Grow and Go owner center) says so under "Expiration", and its registration section points to the same side label for the model number, manufacture date and line code. Safety 1st's general expiration page says the back of the seat; for this seat, the manual is the one to follow.
On the side of the car seat there is a date of manufacture label as shown.
