Child Seat Safety The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has set up a location on the Internet to register your child seat, booster or other child restraint system. It is very important for owners of such restraint systems to register them with NHTSA so that they can receive notification if a safety related defect is later found in the restraint system purchased. You may also visit www.safercar.gov to obtain defect or safety related information about a child safety restraint you own or are interested in purchasing. The following information is provided at the above website to enable your registration of your child safety restraint system: Register your Child Restraint In the event of a safety recall all manufacturers are required to notify all registered owners by first class mail that their child restraint is included in the recall. Therefore, it is very important that the manufacturer of your child restraint has your current mailing address, and all of the information necessary to identify your child restraint. To register your child restraint you will need to provide the following information:

It can be found on a label attached to the restraint (look on the rear, the bottom, or the side of the restraint). The images below are samples of what a label may look like. Please note that the label on your child restraint may look different from these sample labels.
If you own a product by one of the manufacturers below, you may register directly on their web site:
If the manufacturer of your child restraint is not listed above, or you would like NHTSA to provide your child restraint registration information to the manufacturer, please fill out the form below and send it by mail or fax to the address below: Child Restraint Registration Form, Adobe Acrobat (.pdf).
