Less than 50 percent of parents respond to car seat recalls. That’s because many of them haven’t registered with the manufacturer, so they don’t hear about the recall at all. 

To be sure, it’s a task that’s easily overlooked. But there’s a new service to help you – and it’s today’s Quick Fix, a safe and wellness task that’s easily done.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s www.safercar.gov website has a feature that let’s you register your car seat with the manufacturer, so you’ll be contacted directly in the event of a recall. So, find the manufacturer’s label on your car seat (look on the bottom or side) and then click here to register.

Quick fix … easy peasy.
