As inflation increases and parents turn to the internet for good deals, counterfeit car seats are flooding the market. TheBump Carseats
We all love to snag a good deal, but at what cost? As inflation pushes up the price of already expensive baby gear, many parents are shopping online to find the best deals. While convenient and inexpensive, experts are warning parents to look out for a troubling trend—counterfeit car seats.
These bargain-priced knockoffs might look like an everyday car seat but can pose significant dangers to children. Often made with cheaper, flimsy materials and faulty safety features, these seats haven’t been crash tested and don’t meet federal safety standards. Small changes can lead to seat malfunctions and performance issues that could injure baby in the event of a wreck.
So how can you spot the fake? Costello says that these counterfeit often have some pretty obvious tell-tale signs.Authentic, federally-compliant car seats will contain many safety labels, including a warning label with a yellow header that states, “This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards .” Counterfeit car seats are often either missing these vital warning labels altogether or contain labels with grammatical errors.
If you’ve purchased a counterfeit car seat, return the item and notify the retailer. If returning the seat isn’t an option trash, don’t donate it.
