WAYB Travel Center

The Pico car seat meets all U.S. standards regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Pico has been tested to meet all standards listed in FMVSS 213. We at WAYB have our own set of extensive internal testing and remarks to ensure the safest and best performance of the Pico. You can read more about this on our website here.

Child restraint manufacturers are required to self-certify that their products meet all the above-mentioned applicable safety standards and regulations set by the federal government to be allowed to be sold in the U.S. The Pico car seat has met all of these requirements. We take safety seriously at WAYB. Most importantly, we focus on safety for your kids and ours. We're proud to design WAYB products to use in our own families and would be honored to be a part of your family's journey.

To request a locking clip for your WAYB Pico car seat, please provide your original order number or proof of purchase. The locking clip is a specific part that's used in vehicles that do not have seat belt systems that lock before a crash. In the U.S., all cars manufactured and sold since 1996 are required to have a passenger seatbelt system that locks car seats in place. Consequently, most cars you encounter will likely have this feature, and you shouldn't need a locking clip.

If you still wish to receive a locking clip, bear in mind that the Pico car seat meets all U.S. standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and is tested to fulfill standards listed in FMVSS 213. However, it is not approved for use in international vehicles, with the exception of international flights departing from the U.S., where it is FAA-approved. If you are traveling internationally, we cannot recommend using the Pico abroad at this time.

If you decide to proceed with the request, please email your proof of purchase or original order number, along with your current mailing address, to our customer service team, who will be glad to assist you.

Car seats are damaged in vehicle crashes, and in many cases, the car seat must be destroyed and replaced. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises that if a child restraint (car seat) has been used in a minor crash that the child restraint can continue to be used.

NHTSA defines a minor crash, which a car seat can continue to be used after, as a crash where ALL of the following apply:

• The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site.

• The vehicle door nearest the car seat was not damaged.

• None of the passengers in the vehicle sustained any injuries in the crash.

• If the vehicle has airbags, the airbags did not deploy during the crash, and

• There is no visible damage to the car seat.

Damage to car seats may be difficult to see, or it may be difficult to verify the damage to the car seat. For those situations where any of the NHTSA Child Restraint Re-use criteria has not been met, or if there is uncertainty about whether damage to the seat has occurred, NHTSA and WAYB advise parents or caregivers to replace their car seat.

Contact your insurance company for information on their policy regarding car seat replacement after a crash.

Unfortunately, the Pico is not approved for Low-Speed Vehicles (LSV), such as golf carts. Even if there's a seatbelt present, the Pico has not been tested for that kind of vehicle, so we cannot guarantee safety or recommend use in LSVs. We cannot recommend any car seats for use with such vehicles.

WAYB cannot provide individual letters for insurance purposes, but we can supply a PDF version of the relevant page from our manual that outlines the official statement on using the Pico car seat after car accidents. Please provide this document to your insurance company as needed.
