Fake Car Seats Found in Stores

UVA Health warns parents about dangerous counterfeit car seats flooding online marketplaces and thrift stores—often dangerously light, missing metal reinforcements, and lacking critical safety features like chest clips and proper harnesses. Experts say if a seat feels flimsy or has straps thinner than a thumb, it’s a red flag. Real seats include five-point harnesses, metal frames, and clear labeling. Get your seat checked for free by certified techs—and never toss old ones without cutting the straps to prevent accidental reuse.
