Carmarthenshire County Council’s road safety unit is urging parents to check their children’s car seats.
High-street retailer Smyths Toys has issued a product withdrawal notice on a specific batch of the Dimples Elite Group 1-2-3 car seats (ref number 127866) due to safety concerns.
They say some seats have been found to have poor quality finishing which has the potential to cause deterioration to the harness buckle strap.
Parents who have bought a car seat from this batch (manufactured on July15, 2015) are being advised to return it to their local Smyths Toys store for a replacement or refund. The batch number can be found on the bottom of the seat.
If you have any queries, you are advised to contact your local store, go to the online help centre or call 020 3764 0823 (calls charged at local / national rate).
