Cars reports that despite recalls targeting more than 6 million child-safety seats in 2014, “only 42 percent of families fill out and return the car-seat registration card,” and “only 68 percent knew that the registration card pertains to safety.” Car-seat registration “allows the manufacturer to contact owners directly if there’s a recall and send any needed items for repairs,” the article reports. Parents can also look up their car seat using the NHTSA’s tool to see if it has been recalled by entering the model and production information.
