| The safety mandated air bag label on the head rest of the child car seat was pulled off while by my 10 month old child while she was rear facing and we were driving. i noticed she was choking and looked back to see she was blue and not breathing. i was able to dislodge most of the label from her airway and she began breathing on her own. this is a significant safety issue and these seats should be recalled. had my child passed out, i would have assumed she was sleeping and we would be burying our daughter. dt | |||
