thank you counterfeit car seats are on the rise that's according to child safety Advocates at Inner Mountain Primary Children's Hospital news specialist Shelby Lon spoke to one worker who spotted a fake car seat right before a mom was scheduled to go home with her newborn Shelby unsuspecting parents think they're ready to go home once they're released from the hospital but caregivers here say they're seeing more and more counterfeit car seats my newest is Glacier l two months ago Gilligan DAV was ready to bring home her baby in this car seat oh it was a car
seat a stroller and a bassinet allinone from her Grandpa but it failed the hospital check first thing I was looking for was making it fit her baby Cary technician Ruth Veo says she's seeing more and more counterfeit car seats to take advantage of families is just really terrible and heart-wrenching because um they've gone through a lot and everyone wants their baby to be safe in the car here's what's wrong with glacier's car seat it was super light so it seemed kind of and cheap there was no chest clip and several stickers were missing you're supposed
to have a manufacturer name a phone number to be able to call with questions a way to register your car seat beo wasn't able to adjust the harness and the warning message had a mistake I wanted to cry Davis was distraught thinking about what could have happened to her newborn my first thought was how have I never heard of this she says glacier's Grandpa purchased the car seat through a third party vendor on a big box stores website they don't take responsibility for third party so it was just kind of on us it cost them
$350 which seems like a discount but experts say lower prices are a red flag it's so hard because I'm such an online Shopper and the convenience of it has made it more convenient for people like this to go online and sell things that aren't legit Davis hopes other parents check every strap sticker in class so their baby can get home safely car seats aren't actually getting properly checked parents don't know an inner Mountain offers a free inperson or virtual car SE seat check I'll include the link to that in this story on ksltv.com in Salt
