Car seat??

Is it OK to use the same car seat that I used for my son 5 yrs ago?? It was a hand me down from my cousin whos son is 18 mos older than my son so it already has been through 2 babies. Should I probably go ahead and get a new one?

I found the expiration date. I'll be getting a new one :)... Man this is my second baby but I feel like a first time mom all over again. My first is already 5 so it has been a while.

Car seats actually have an expiration date on them, I'm not sure how long they are good for though. The hospital will check the seat and will not let you take your baby home in it if it's expired. Some hospitals give we car seats if you ask for one.
