Why are Car Seats Final Sale?

Dear-Born Baby does not guarantee manufacturing dates on car seats.  All car seats are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances except for defects as determined by the manufacturer. Dear-Born Baby takes the well-being of your family very seriously and will not jeopardize your child’s safety by accepting returns on infant or child car seats and boosters in the event the integrity of the seat has been compromised.  All car seats are final sale however, if you have any questions or concerns about the car seat you purchased, we are happy to assist you in contacting the manufacturer for a resolution.

Warranty Terms & Conditions

Product Warranties are with the manufacturer.  Any replacements or repairs must be approved and arranged by the manufacturer.  Compensation is not available for any reason for circumstances beyond our control.

Delivery/Receiving Guidelines 

These guidelines must be followed in order to ensure the option of returning any of the products purchased:

1. For insurance purposes, many packages will require a signature. You must be present to receive, inspect, and sign for your delivery if a signature is required.

2. Before signing/receiving the package:

  • Check to ensure you have received the proper number of packages
  • Check for damaged packaging

3. When signing for the package it is very important to be as detailed and descriptive as possible on the packing slip before you sign. Your signature indicates acceptance, and if you simply sign without inspecting the packaging or its contents, then you are accepting the shipment “as is”. If you did not receive the proper number of packages or if any items appear as if they could be damaged, make sure you note this prior to signing. If damages or shortages are not recorded the shipping company will not honour insurance claims and unfortunately, we will not be able to honour our return policy.

4. Immediately unpack all contents to ensure that you were shipped the correct items. If there are any damages or shortages, they must be reported within 48 hours of the delivery date by contacting us at info@dearbornbaby.com and we will send you instructions. (See our Return Process and Policy).
