Parents are being warned to immediately stop using children’s car seat head straps due to safety concerns. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is investigating aftermarket head straps, fearing they could cause injuries to a child’s head, neck, and spine during a car crash. There are also worries about suffocation or strangulation in normal driving situations. While there have been no reports of injuries or fatalities in Australia, an incident in the UK highlighted the potential risks. Consumers are advised to stop using these products and dispose of them safely.
