Minnie Mouse is an iconic girly mood character. She is cute and fierce; well dressed and savvy; sweet and funny. I guess most of us have tender comforting memories of Disney World’s first lady. No wonder why so many moms look for Minnie Mouse car seats. Despite all the trending gender-neutral baby stuff, the joyful and delicate Miss Minnie passed the time test.
As you probably know, there are only a few Minnie Mouse car seats in the market. For this post, we selected only the ones with good reviews, from reliable brands and retailers that are not infamous for counterfeit.
Car Seat Safety 101
There are 2 main criterias for car seat safety: compliance and proper installation. And stick to both of them is the parent’s responsibility.
- Compliance: all car seats sold by retailers in the USA must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines. So, make sure you chose car seats from reliable brands and trustworthy retailers that respect federal law (not counterfeit).
- Proper installation: try to install your car seat as soon as you get your hands on it. As much as the manufacturers do R&D, not all seats will be perfect for every car model out there. Also, not all people can figure it out instinctively. And it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you are not sure, you can call the manufacturer, reach out to the fireman, look for a certified passenger safety technician (CPST or CPS technician). If you still don’t feel safe, you may have time to return it and get another one without losing money.

Avoiding counterfeit car seats
All the car seats featured at The Mood Guide are said to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines. Of course, counterfeit sellers don’t care about safety or their reputation. They are scammers trying to cash in some easy money.
That’s why we only feature renowned manufacturers and a few trustworthy retailers who are not infamous for selling counterfeit. Plus, we decided to include this information in every car seat post we are updating in 2021 because it feels right.
At the end of 2019 the CNN released an article about counterfeit car seats being sold online and how dangerous they can be. Even more disturbing was to find out that online stores, unlike brick-and-mortar, can’t be legally accountable for selling counterfeit.
Not all online store is a villain, though. The main sources of worry are marketplaces that sell directly from third-party sellers, without any control over what’s shipped to your house.
This accountability gap, besides unlimited greed and lack of humanity, is what enables scammers to sell fake products online.
In March 2020, the Shop Safe Act , a bipartisan bill, was introduced in hopes to incentivize e-commerce retailers to take steps to avoid counterfeit offers of products that can cause health or life risk to American people.
What can we do?
In the meanwhile what we can do to protect our kids is spread awareness and be extra careful about the retailers we are buying from. If something looks too good to be true, then it probably is.
Therefore, if we can prevent at least one person from buying a fake unsafe car seat that can cost a child’s life, it is worth it.
As much as we are brought to believe that we are too small to make a difference, it’s our money and our shopping that sustains the economy. We are the buyers, we have the power.
