Check your vehicle to see if you are affected?

After receiving several reports of occupants becoming trapped by powered rear seats, including one involving the death of a two-year-old, Hyundai has recalled 69,000 of their Hyundai Palisade models. Families should be aware of the injury risk posed by the powered second- and third-row seats, which may not stop folding when contacting a person or object.

Here are five common myths and the risks they pose:
Myth: Turning Forward-Facing at 2 is Enough.
Risk: Turning a child forward before they meet height/weight limits for rear-facing increases head, neck, and spine injury risk in crashes; rear-facing protects better.
Myth: Used Car Seats Are Fine (No History/Expiration).
Risk: Hidden cracks from crashes or age degrade plastic; seats expire, so unknown history is a major hazard.
Myth: Expensive Seats Are Safest.
Risk: All seats meet safety standards; misuse is common, and a cheap seat used perfectly is safer than a pricey one installed wrong.
Myth: Using LATCH & Seatbelt Together Is Safer.
Risk: Most manufacturers forbid this; it can interfere and reduce safety; use either LATCH or the vehicle seatbelt as instructed.
Myth: Puffy Jackets & Blankets Are Fine for Fit.
Risk: Bulk creates slack in straps, preventing a snug fit; the chest clip ends up too low, compromising protection in a crash.
