What NHTSA's record says

No NHTSA notice names this seat as of the date below. That is an absence of a match in NHTSA's record, not a clean bill of health.

NHTSA's recall record retrieved September 11, 2026.

Does this apply to your unit?

A campaign covers a production window, not a model name. Two things off the seat itself settle it, and you already have both.

  1. The model number. Printed on the same label as the date, usually as a letter-and-digit code.
  2. The date of manufacture. On a label affixed to the bottom of the seat. That is where the manual puts the date of manufacture (page 20). The model number and the manufactured-on date are also printed under the seat cover, where the seating surface and the backrest meet (page 79). Those are two different places, so unlike some seats one photograph may not carry both. Send whichever you can find and we will say which one is still missing.

This page does not compute an answer for you. Send us the label photo and we will read it against the filing, or bring both to a certified technician who can hold the seat.

Questions worth asking first

Do I need the model number?

No. Send a photo of the label and we read the model number and the date off it. If the label is worn or gone, that is worth knowing on its own, and it is one of the things a certified technician can sort out with the seat in front of them.

You found no recall. Does that mean my seat is fine?

No, and the difference matters. What we can say is that no NHTSA notice names this seat as of the date at the bottom of this page. That is an absence of a match in a public record, not a clean bill of health, and it says nothing about how this particular seat was used, stored, or repaired. It also has a shelf life: a notice filed next month would change the answer.

I searched NHTSA for Cybex and found nothing. Did I do it wrong?

Probably not. Cybex seats are filed in the US under the importer's name, not the brand's. Every Cybex campaign in the record we checked was filed by Columbus Trading-Partners USA, Inc., except a 2010 booster campaign filed by Regal Lager. The brand appears inside the filing as the make; it is not the name on the front of it. That is a common way a real campaign gets missed by an owner searching for the name printed on their seat.

Where is the date on this seat?

The manual puts the date of manufacture on a label affixed to the bottom of the seat, on page 20. On page 79 it says the model number and the manufactured-on date can also be found under the seat cover, where the seating surface and the backrest meet. Those are two different spots and the manual does not promise both are on one sticker, so send what you find and we will say what is still missing.

Does a recall mean my seat is unsafe?

Not on its own. A recall says a defect was found across a range of production and that a free remedy exists. Whether it reaches your unit depends on the date on your label, and whether it has already been handled depends on the seat's history. Where a campaign does exist, the remedy comes from the manufacturer and costs you nothing.

This seat has three modes. Which limits apply to us?

Whichever mode the seat is in right now, and the manual sets each one separately. The page numbers beside each line above are where those limits are printed, so you can check our reading against the document rather than taking our word for it. Which mode a particular child should be in is a fitting question, and it is the kind of thing a certified technician answers with the seat and the child in front of them.

Can you tell me whether this used seat is safe?

No, and nobody can do that from a label alone. We can tell you what the public record says about this model, what the manual sets as the limits, and which parts of the seat's history are missing. We cannot see whether it was in a crash, how it was stored, or whether a part has been swapped, and those things matter. A certified technician can hold the actual seat. That is a different job from ours and it is not a lesser one.

Which document did you read?

For the limits, manual edition CY-171-9371-D0325, printed 03/25, with the page number beside each line. For recalls, NHTSA's public record, checked on the date shown at the bottom. Every line above traces to one of those two. If a line has no citation next to it, read that as something we have not checked yet rather than something we found nothing on.

Do you sell seats?

No. We do not sell seats, we take no commission on any remedy, and we are not affiliated with any manufacturer, with NHTSA, or with the National Child Passenger Safety Board. Where a campaign does exist for a seat, the free fix comes from the brand.

What happens after the demo?

Twenty minutes, one seat or one roster, and you see what the record does and does not say about it. Nothing is installed and nothing is signed. If you would rather we stopped there, we stop there.

Per-unit applicability is the difference between contacting every family you cover and contacting the ones whose units are actually named in a filing. Built to sit alongside your existing recall and outreach process, not replace it.

Manufacturers

This is your product seen from the owner's side: which unit, which label, which production window, and what an owner can tell from the seat in their car. Built to sit alongside your existing recall and outreach process, not replace it.

Holophote is a small independent project in the Bay Area, and it is worth being plain about what that means today. We check one unit at a time against NHTSA's record. We transcribe the limits from the manual edition and cite the page. That is the whole of it. The part still being built is the one that matters most and is the least impressive to describe: a maintained record of a family's seats, held rather than sold, so that a campaign filed next spring can still find the family it belongs to. Where we have not read the document, this page says so instead of guessing, and it will keep saying so until someone reads it.

Book a demo

Twenty minutes. We walk one seat, or one roster, end to end and you see exactly what the record does and does not say about it.

Booking by email for now. The scheduler is being set up. Write to us and we will send back two or three times that work.

Prefer email? Write to hello@holophote.com and we will find a time. Tell us which of these you are: caregiver, CPST, insurer or health plan, or manufacturer.
