Nuna car seat expiration
Nuna states the useful life of its seats as 10 years (the RAVA convertible car seat, as stated in the RAVA user manual (the same sentence in three revisions: IM_001397A, 372d and cc4c; the 372d revision capitalises "Child Restraint")) · 10 years (the EXEC all-in-one car seat, as stated in the EXEC user manual) · 10 years (the AACE booster seat, as stated in the AACE user manual). The date of manufacture on your seat's label plus that figure is the expiration date.
Nuna states a 10-year limit one manual at a time, not once for the brand: the sentence appears in the RAVA, EXEC and AACE manuals and in no other Nuna source. No Nuna source states a number of years for the PIPA infant carriers — every PIPA manual, and the PIPA urbn manual, tells the reader to check the label on the seat for its expiration date instead. The PIPA seats are listed here without a years figure, and the date on the seat is what governs them. Nuna publishes no consumer page carrying a duration either: the Car Seat Headquarters page says car seats have expiration dates but names no period, and no US help-center article states one. Figures for the PIPA carriers do circulate on retailer and blog pages; none of them trace to a Nuna source, so this site does not carry them.

Where the date is on a Nuna seat
Nuna states the date of manufacture is on a white label on the back or bottom of the seat. Per manual: PIPA, PIPA rx and the PIPA lite family — underside of the base or child restraint; PIPA urbn — underside of the seat; RAVA — bottom of the child restraint base; EXEC — bottom of the child restraint; AACE — bottom of the booster. Every manual also states that the model number and the manufactured-in date sit on a label on the bottom of the child restraint.
In order to properly register your child restraint system, you will need to provide the model number, serial number and date of manufacture. This information is printed on the registration card and can also be found on a white label located on the back or bottom of the child restraint system.

Recalls and support
Check any Nuna seat against NHTSA's recall lookup — the label's model number and date of manufacture are what the lookup asks for. Registering with Nuna means they can contact you directly.
The label on your seat is authoritative; this page is a reference.
