Baby car seat recalled due to potential danger of severe harm or fatality.
Attention all parents and caregivers! It has recently come to light that an infant car seat, which has been available for purchase online throughout Australia for the past year, does not meet the necessary safety standards. This product, marketed as a "child safety seat mat" for children six months and older, was being sold on the Little Infants AU website. It comes in two sizes and is offered in the colors red and blue. The car seat is manufactured in China.

Upon further investigation, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) discovered that this seat does not comply with the mandatory safety standard for child restraints in motor vehicles. According to the ACCC, the product does not have a five-point harness, which is a crucial feature for child car seats designed for children under the age of four. In addition, photos of the product on the website show that it is secured to the car using threaded straps and plastic buckles, rather than the approved ISOFIX or seatbelt system.

Due to these safety concerns, the ACCC is urging parents and caregivers to discontinue the use of this product immediately. They have emphasized the potential danger of serious injury or death to young children in the event of a sudden stop or car accident. As a precaution, the ACCC advises anyone who has purchased this car seat to contact Little Infants AU at [email protected] to arrange for a full refund, store credit, or exchange for a different product of equal value.

It is important to note that the recall has been issued in response to the safety standard violations and not due to any reported incidents. However, it is crucial to take action and ensure the safety of our little ones. Let's work together to spread the word and prevent any potential harm. Thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter.
