http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/ Car seats expire approximately 6 years from the manufacturer's date. (very few exceptions to that rule). Ebay is allowing these expired carseats to be sold on their website. Have you ever left a plastic toy somewhere and noticed how it seems to fade and just isn't as good as it was when you bought it? Plastic does not biodegrade. Plastic actually breaks down in a process called photodegrading, which means they simply break apart into ever smaller pieces, eventually forming “plastic dust". Because of this, the plastic shell weakens and can't take the force of impact from a car accident when it starts this process. There are so many people that do not know that they expire. Someone could purchase an expired carseat from Ebay and it could be fatal. That is why I am starting this petition to stop Ebay and/or to make tougher guidelines for them to sell carseats. http://www.childrestraintsafety.com/manufacture-expiration.html http://babyproducts.about.com/b/a/257283.htm http://www.epinions.com/content_4753956996 http://home.comcast.net/~dcbsr/test/Britax_GMTV_Check_It_Fits_Child_Facing_Forwards_ten_years_old_seat.mpeg Sat, 17 Mar 2007 17:1:46 CDT en-us 3 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig5048843 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition 100% http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig4820333 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig4349188 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this Petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig4349183 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this Petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig4349181 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. please I have found seats on there that were OVER 10 years old being sold :( http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig4275148 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig4011596 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/carseats/#sig3925037 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST We as adults have the responsibilty of making sure kids are safe.
