- We recommend that you be the original owner of the safety seat, car seat or carrier (this way you know the history of the seat).
- Safety seats, car seats and carriers should be replaced if they are more than seven years old, or as soon as the manufacturer's replacement schedule says to replace them.
- The safety seat, car seat or carrier should not be used if it was in a vehicle that was involved in a crash—even if no child was in the car seat or carrier.
- Please send in the registration form for the safety seat, car seat or carrier.
- After-market items such as shoulder pads, seat protectors, car seat mirrors should not be used.
