At TAGBASE, we’ve always believed that product authenticity isn’t just about brand protection — it’s about protecting people. That’s never been clearer than in the latest wave of counterfeit child car seats being sold.
According to ABC News, counterfeit car seats — which look deceptively similar to real ones — are putting millions of children at risk. These fakes often lack essential safety features like chest clips, padding, and structural integrity. They’re sold online, sometimes through major marketplaces, at steep discounts. The result? Unsuspecting parents unknowingly put their children in life-threatening danger every day.
Other sources, like The Car Seat Lady, confirm this disturbing trend. The issue is global, growing, and extremely difficult to combat with traditional solutions like serial numbers, packaging, or QR codes — all of which can be easily replicated.
So… how do we fight back?
This is where TAGBASE steps in.
TAGBASE is a tamper-proof NFC-based authentication platform that connects physical products with their unique digital identities, all without requiring a dedicated app. Here’s how it works:
🔒 Unclonable NFC tags are embedded into each authentic product (like a car seat).
📱 Parents can verify authenticity instantly by tapping the product with any smartphone — no app needed.
🌐 Brands and manufacturers get a secure digital infrastructure to manage proof of authenticity, ownership, and compliance data.
🔄 Even in the secondhand market, our browser extension confirms whether a seller truly has the product and if it’s genuine.
Why This Matters for Baby & Child Safety Brands
- Brand Trust: Parents need to trust that your product will protect their child.
- Regulatory Readiness: Our infrastructure supports Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance.
- Scalable Integration: We work out of the box and integrate easily with existing apps or platforms.
