THIS CAR SEAT DOES USE FLAME RETARDANTS! I am just adding this as a more affordable option + they are GreenGuard Gold Certified (low VOCs). This option is for the people who are looking for a lower lower tox option! This does NOT mean I recommend the entire brand as a lower lower tox option. Just this specific chair. -Destiny

"Graco has taken steps to address concerns about harmful chemicals in car seats by using safer flame retardant alternatives. While the company does use flame retardants, Graco mentions that they use less toxic flame retardants in the materials of the 4Ever DLX, especially in the fabrics and foam. This is part of their effort to reduce the exposure to harmful chemicals like PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and TDCPP (a type of organophosphate flame retardant).

Graco also uses non-toxic materials in the fabrics and construction of the seat, aiming to reduce the presence of substances like BPA and phthalates.

GreenGuard Gold Certified, which means it has undergone testing for chemical emissions, including the levels of flame retardants, to ensure they meet stricter environmental standards for indoor air quality"
