📢Recall Alert!!🚨

There's a new safety recall for the following car seat:

Evenflo Company, Inc. (Evenflo) is recalling certain LiteMax Factory Select child seats with model number CS100111198. The weight and height limitations are stated incorrectly in the Spanish language manual. As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems." Incorrect information in the manual may result in an improperly restrained child, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Evenflo will mail owners a corrected Spanish language manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 31, 2026. Owners may contact Evenflo customer service at 1-800-233-5921.

Your car seat can’t tell you its been recalled … but the manufacturer can! Remember to register your seat so that you’ll be notified about important safety issues like recalls.

We still have months left of the school year. Don't forget to do your part to keep our kids safe to and from school.

In every state, it’s illegal to pass a school bus when the stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing. 🚍🚨 The most dangerous part of the school bus ride is getting on and off, especially in winter weather! Snow and ice make roads more slippery, making it even more important to stay alert. When drivers ignore stop arms and flashing red lights, they put kids at risk. Let’s look out for each other and always stop for school buses! 🚌❄️
