How to Locate Car Seat Recall Information (Part A)

Parents try so hard to do the best for their children. They research and select the best possible cribs, strollers, toys, and most importantly, child car seats. Just as other products occasionally have defects and malfunctions, so can car safety seats. Car seats can and do get recalled when a defect poses a major threat to the child's safety.

There are several ways to find information about car seat recalls. One of the most important things to do when you purchase a car seat is to register your purchase with the car seat's manufacturer. They will have your contact information on file and can notify you if or when a recall notice is issued.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

NHTSA has its Child Restraint Recall Campaign Listing from January 1990 through June 1, 2009. Parents can go to the website and search for their child car seat using several different variables. Additionally, parents can register their car seat with the website and sign up for email notifications of child safety seat recalls. This service is free so all parents should take advantage of this helpful resource to protect their kids.

Kids in Danger.org

This website provides valuable data for parents seeking information on recalls and how to find them. Most recalls are advertised in ways where parents rarely see the information. KidsinDanger.org allows parents to discover the many potentially dangerous products that are still on the market and being used by children.
