??toxic? chemicals used in the materials to make car seats can put children in danger of developing health problems if ingested or inhaled, as these chemicals out gas over the life of the product (especially in the hot sun). ?These chemicals can be associated with developmental disorders, learning impairment, liver disease, cancer, as well as other allergic type diseases.???Jeff Gearhart, Ecology Center

What are these chemicals, and why are they put into car seats?!

There are many different chemicals used. The main groups categorized by scientists and researchers at the Ecology Center are: bromine (from fire retardants), chlorine (PVC), and ?other chemicals?. They are used to create rigidity and durability to plastics and foam, and used as fire retardants.
