Car Seat & Child Passenger Law Watch

Track child passenger safety rules and products in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state child passenger law changes for rear-facing, forward-facing, booster, front seat and seat belt rules with effective dates and fines; car seat, booster and travel system recalls and registration campaigns from NHTSA and manufacturers; NHTSA ease-of-use ratings, crash test releases and Consumer Reports findings; free car seat check events and fitting station openings in the 100 largest metros; car seat expiration and post-crash replacement rule changes; FAA, airline, Uber and Lyft child seat rule changes; school bus and seat belt rule changes; Target, Walmart and state car seat trade-in and voucher programs with dates; and counterfeit and non-compliant car seat alerts. Prefer state legislatures and highway safety offices, NHTSA, Safe Kids, manufacturer pages, retailer pages and established parenting reporting; ignore unverified posts. Put the state, product or program first in the title with the rule, recall or date. Use high severity for a recall with injuries, a law taking effect within 90 days, a counterfeit alert, or a trade-in event within 7 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
