What to Do If Your Car Seat Is Recalled
- Read the recall notice. Follow its interim instructions. For example, Graco told Turn & Slide owners to stop using the base, and Evenflo limited the REO’s headrest positions.
- Order the free fix. Contact the manufacturer with your model number and manufacture date. Most remedies are free kits, labels or replacement seats.
- Don’t stop using a car seat without a plan. Archived NHTSA guidance said to keep using a recalled seat while you wait for the repair kit only if the recall notice says you can, and that a recalled seat is almost always safer than a seat belt alone (NHTSA, 2016).
- Register your seat. NHTSA says to send in the card that came with your seat or register on the manufacturer’s website, so you’re contacted about recalls (NHTSA).
- Get alerts. NHTSA’s SaferCar app can notify you about new recalls (NHTSA).
New Car Seat Rules Starting December 5, 2026
A final rule published September 9, 2026 set December 5, 2026 as the compliance date for NHTSA’s new side-impact test, FMVSS 213a, for seats made for children up to 40 pounds or 43.3 inches (Federal Register; US DOT). The updated frontal test standard, FMVSS 213b, also applies from that date, and the minimum weight for belt-positioning boosters rose to 40 pounds in 2025 (CPS Board).
