But unlike Target the terms were lite to say the least- they just gave you a $30 giftcard to use how you please.
So you had people getting old car seats from wherever they could, and several using different IDs or other family members to get past the 2 per household.
It got so excessive that managers started ending their store participation, and Walmart corporate officially pulled the plug 9 days earlier than the announced run.

It's truly beyond depressing and soul crushing.
So, "best by" dates means they can't guarantee the nutrition on the label or it has a higher likelihood from growing stuff.
In this case, it may be be due to the temperature fluctuations in your typical car that deteriorates the plastics and causes it to loose its structural integrity. But of course YMMV
1) find ratty shitty old nasty carseat at the dump or one that's left outside goodwill for weeks
2) take hazmat situation into WM and get $30
3) repeat
I actually brought in 2 decent carseats, but man SO much open for abuse there..... no way they actually recycled all those nasty festering carseats. Probably had to call EPA for disposal.
It's truly beyond depressing and soul crushing.
If you do some googling you'll find all sorts of excuses as to why seats "expire" such as new safety standards (then why aren't older cars "expired"?), worn metal parts (really? I have 4 kids and I've never used a seat enough that it's genuinely worn, maybe these authors have prolific metal chewers on their hands), etc. One article I found even went so far as to compare a carseat to lawn furniture - as if the two have same environmental exposures at all, not to mention they are different plastics altogether.
The physical structure of most seats is HDPE, same type of resin as milk jugs and the like, also same type of resin that is buried underground carrying natural gas for decades, or protecting subsea cabling FWIW. UV is probably the biggest culprit in degradation; low temps make it a bit more brittle. Ironically also the same resin that, once recycled, often finds its way into stuff like plastic lumber (does your deck or bench fall apart in 10 years?).
But for the price, cost/benefit and peace of mind is your own decision. Personally, through our 4 kids, we actually used much older seats as backups or for relatives (e.g. grandparents).

I realized my wife forgot to give away 1 of 2 baby carrier car base. Does that count towards a 20% coupon as well? We'll end up needing 2 booster seats eventually.
Thank you.
