We used a babytrend flex loc infant car seat with our two DSs... The car seat itself was manufactured 010908, however this doesn't matter as much, as I'd like to buy a new one (same manufacturer) but in pink/purple for DD (due May 2012). I was wondering if we could reuse the bases - the expiration dates are 04/16/07 and 01/09/08... the baby trend website doesn't say the time period for expiration, so I'm wondering if its the same for the bases as for the car seat itself (6 years, right?)...

Shed some light if you can...

Totally nesting, and would like to figure out the infant car seat thing...

Gonna do a registry for a baby shower in a couple weeks, and not sure if I should register for new bases...

Thanks!
