"Consider what happens to a plastic toy if it is left outside for some time. The plastic becomes brittle and can develop cracks when stressed. Car seats are subjected to extreme heat and extreme cold while sitting in your vehicle, so the plastics eventually react just like that toy left in the sun."

Exactly, and because the cheapest materials possible are used to make the majority of them, they degrade with time.

We have determined that after a set amount of time, at least one catastrophic All-Orifices Episode will have taken place which forces owners to remove all hardware for (futile) laundering. It is after this Episode that we are certain the seat no longer can be expected to perform adequately in any way."
