When Should You Recycle Your Old Car Seat ?

CAR SEATS HAVE EXPIRATION DATE

Most car seats expire after 5 years. Check the date of expiration stamped on the manufacturer label located on the sides or the base of the car seat.

ANY CAR SEAT INVOLVED IN A CRASH SHOULD BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends any carseat involved in a moderate or severe accident should be replace. Car seats involved in a car accident are currently landfilled.

CAR SEAT IS BROKEN OR WORN OUT

With daily use comes wear and tear, and even the most expensive models, will eventually wear out. Then you factor in the normal abuse that a car seat experiences. Spills, accidents, crumbs, and anything else a kid can do to them. By the end of their life cycle, car seats have definitely seen better days.

What Our Customers Say

Awesome!

It is great to see a company take on the challenge of recycling car seats. Fast, easy and recycled :-)

Easy!

Finally, a place that recycles car seats. The bags came in the mail and I put the car seats in, sealed the bag, attached the shipping label, and dropped them off at the UPS store. That was it. Thank you!

Feels good to recycle

It feels great to recycle a car seat, since you can't really donate them. I only wish this solution were more accessible and affordable for everyone so that we could get more people doing it.

Easy, feel good solution!

As kids age, we all acquire a graveyard of expired and outgrown car seats that can’t be reused. They are big and bulky and definitely don’t belong in a landfill. I am so glad that my internet search on what to do led me to carseatrecycling.com. This company makes the process so easy!! The price was a little higher than I might’ve liked, but after I paid, I had the recycling bag and label within a few days and dropped the car seat off at UPS a few days later. So easy and convenient! And I feel good (actually great!) knowing that the car seat materials will be recycled. In the end, definitely worth the monetary cost to avoid the environmental cost. Hope you’ll make the same decision I did - you won’t regret it!
