Car Seats (damaged, post manufacturer’s “best before date” or recalled)

 

Proper use of car safety seats keeps children safe. Nonuse or misuse of proper safety restraints in vehicles contributes to needless injuries and deaths. Selecting the correct car seat depends on your child’s height and weight.

Keep your child safe by:


    • replacing any car seat that has been involved in a car crash
    • if there is no expiry date on the car seat, replace it
    • replace any car seat that is 10 years old or older
    • select the correct sized car seat for your child
    • complete the registration/warranty card and return it to the manufacturer to ensure you are contacted in case of a recall
    • follow the manufacturer’s instructions for correct installation
    • ensure the car seat has a Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) sticker on it.
