Somehow those cloth-and-velcro "car seats" from China that are commonly sold on eBay have made their way onto Amazon.

I have left a review in order to warn other parents away from this thing, contacted Amazon, and contacted Galaxy Tech, which is the reseller who is providing this item through Amazon and asked them to please remove it and warning them that they might be held liable for injuries that result from them selling a product that's illegal to use. I am posting here thinking some of you may also want to do the same.

My attention was brought to it because it was posted on another car seat forum.

Someone (not me because I'm on my way out the door) should contact NHTSA, too. It's illegal to sell seats that don't meet federal standards.

GRANDMA KNOWS :rolleyes: that seats like this are illegal and and so do we, but it's sad that many folks in general public do not.

I left a review as well--I just used some of the information from you review.

Thanks for sharing this and making us aware of it.
