To identify a particular safety seat, select the appropriate category below, if known, or click on the sample photograph that is most similar to your safety seat. Since only one photograph is shown for each model, some features may vary. Examples include the color of the fabric cover, the harness, or the plastic shell; cup holders, extra pillows, pads, or inserts; the style of the buckle or chest clip.

The photographs are organized by type of safety seat, then alphabetically by manufacturer (in bold), then by appearance. If the manufacturer is known, scroll down to those models. If not, scroll to view all of the safety seats of that type. When you find the picture of your safety seat, write down the manufacturer and model name, which is shown above each photograph. Also given are the dates when the product was first made and when it was discontinued, which may help in the identification.

It is essential to identify the model name of a child restraint before inspecting it or installing it. The model name is needed to determine two things: (1) which instruction booklet to use, if not provided by the parent, and (2) whether or not there is a recall. Unfortunately, many manufacturers do not show the model name on their products and/or on the instruction booklets. If the model name was originally shown on a sticker, it may have been peeled off or washed off.
