Make sure any child safety seat you buy has:

- not been in a collision
- not been recalled (check with the manufacturer or Transport Canada - 1-800-333-0371)
- not expired or beyond the seat’s useful life date. Transport Canada provides a list of manufacturers of car seats and booster seats sold in Canada which includes the expiry/life date of their products at www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-notices-2011c011-1168.htm [w2]
- no discoloured (stress) marks or cracks and the harness is not worn or torn
