Edited to Add: Our list of where current carseat models are made can be found here: http://carseatblog.com/25477/country-of-origin-where-carseats-are-made/
Anyone have a list of carseats known to be made in the USA?
There was an inquiry about this on the CPS list today, regarding federal funding requirements. If you share or use this list elsewhere, I would greatly appreciate it if you could include a link to this copyrighted thread, as it will be updated periodically. I would appreciate it if you would not reproduce the entire list online in a public, searchable location if at all possible.
I'm guessing no such list exists yet for products made in the USA or North America in general.
So, on this thread, I'm asking for your help. Please reply to this post and submit confirmation of origin of your caseats. If possible, please upload a photo that has a "Made in USA", "Made in China" or other label along with enough of the carseat to identify it, if this is not clear from the label. If it is not clear from a label on the carseat shell, you may be able to find the origin in stamped or raised letters on the shell. Sometimes, it is not obvious from the wording on the carseat, so you may be able to find the information on the box as well.
Please include the brand name, exact product name, model number and date of manufacture. This information is needed because so many versions exist for some products and they may be assembled in different locations at different times.
Please note that fabric covers and harness systems may have separate labels. This is true both of the tag on the cover and a separate indication on most boxes about the cover's origin. So, you need to be sure that the label you check on the box or carseat is for the carseat itself, not for the fabric cover or harness straps! That is why a clear photo is needed for confirmation. I will be attaching some shortly for examples.
Master List of Made in USA Child Restraints: (Seats noted as confirmed if photo supplied on this thread)
Please note that this list is not an indicator of domestic content, so may not apply to all components, such as harness systems, fabric covers and other parts. It is only a report of what the manufacturer indicates on their product to specify where the item was "Made in". Seats made in Canada, Mexico or the EU will also be noted as such. This list is not all inclusive. Products not surveyed by our members may also be made in North America or Europe.
