Register Your Car Seat

Is your child’s car seat registered? 

Parents can register their new or currently used car seat, ensuring that they are promptly notified about future recalls and guided through the repair process. Here’s how:

  • Register online with your car manufacturer, using the information found on the information sticker on your car seat.
  • Fill out the registration card that came with your car seat. It’s pre-populated with your car seat’s information. Mail the card; no postage required.

Tips to Register Your Car Seat

  • You can also register your car seat online at www.safercar.gov/parents and click on "car seat." If your car seat information is handy, you can register in less than two minutes.
  • Take a photo of your car seat label and save it to your phone so you can have it handy.

Find Out if Your Car Seat is Recalled

Visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website to check if your car seat has been recalled. You will need the name of the manufacturer, model number and date of manufacture. A label on your car seat will likely have all this information in one place.
