Car seats of various types have an "expiry date", however, let's find out more about the purpose of a booster seat...
[Children] should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle seat belt fits properly, typically when they have reached 4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 through 12 years of age." From www.healthychildren.org
A booster seat, quite simply, is a device used to raise the child up so the seat belt passes across their chest in the correct position and does not cut into their neck and so they don't slide under it.
There are laws dictating age, height and weight and expiry of a booster seat. However, in my opinion, deciding what your child needs has a lot more to do with the size of your child, their developmental stage, and the design of the car. Apparently a booster seat can expire, however, I don't understand how, when it's just a plastic seat. The restraint is not part of the seat itself, it uses only the car's regulation seat belt.
Look Lon the bottom or side the expiry date will be there.

only if they have been in a car that has had an accident or if the child useing it is 5 years old
