If you already own a car seat that doesn’t meet these new regulations, don’t worry. As long as it’s properly installed, not expired, and you keep an eye on recalls, your current car seat is still considered safe to use.
For those considering a new purchase, you don’t have to hold off on buying a car seat that meets these updated standards. Fortunately, many models available today already align with the new regulations. This is especially good news given the rising prices of car seats due to tariffs.
Key Takeaways
- All new car seats must adhere to updated federal safety standards to enhance side-impact protection starting on June 30, 2025.
- Your existing car seat remains safe to use, provided it’s correctly installed and hasn’t expired.
