Probably the same reasons that child car seats "expire" after 5-years. What are those reasons, who knows, but I'm sure liability has a lot to do with it. Plus, things deteriorate and weaken over time with regular use.
According to the car seat manufacturers it's because the plastic deteriorates. It may be a scam to make more bucks and fill more landfills, but better safe than sorry when your kids, or your melon, are concerned.
