Parents should look out for child car seat recalls
Mothers and fathers should look out for car seat recalls, which do occur from time to time. Britax, for example, recently recalled more than 55,000 car seats for a problem which could pose a choking risk. Have you been trying to sell or buy a new or used SUV?

Product registration a requirement
Ever skip product registration? One thinks a good number of people toss them. Why give them your address? It's just going to mean more junk mail in the post and more junk emails to delete. However, there is a very good reason to fill them out, because it means you'll be notified of a recall.
There is nothing more significant than keeping your child safe, which is why it is always significant with a kid seat recall. There are 55,455 child seats being recalled by Britax for seat padding that can be bitten off and choke a kid, according to AutoGuide. It is very important to get this data as quickly as possible.
More child car seat recalls
The recent Britax recall is just one of a number of examples of kid seat recalls. There have been a few recently; another recent one, according to Automobiles.com, was an Evenflo Big Kid recall, for 151 demonstration models that had been donated to some organizations without the requisite registration card and instruction manual.
The Britax recall has been launched after three reports of children gagging, but there have been no injuries reported, according to the New York Times.

Some car seat issues are much more serious, such as a Dorel car seat recall in 2011, according to CBS. The problem could cause a significant issue in an accident since the locking mechanism in the seat had a defect to stop the belt and harness from latching properly. That could be very dangerous and is much worse than non-toxic foam getting bit off a seat.
Getting government help
There are car seat recalls every couple of years, and even though they are not terribly common, they are common enough to check out. The NHTSA’s recall site lists all current car seat recalls since it has recall authority.
Parents should make sure that they complete registration cards. Granted, a vehicle seat doesn't require one visit an auto loan officer, like replacing a car does, so one can very easily buy another seat, but it's better to put up with a potential junk mail and be able to get informed in the event there's a problem with their car seats.
