NorCalCars » Dorel Recalls 447,000 Infant Child Restraint Systems

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are alerting consumers of a recall involving certain infant child restraints manufactured by Dorel Juvenile Group under Safety 1st, Cosco, Eddie Bauer and Disney branded names. Consumers should immediately stop using the infant seat carrying handle.

Dorel is recalling 447,000 seats because when used as an infant carrier, the bolts that attach the child restraint handle to the seat can loosen causing the handle to fully or partially separate from the seat creating a fall hazard. Consumers should not use the handle until the repair kit has been installed. The car seat is safe for use in a vehicle as it meets federal safety standards.

To receive a free repair kit, owners of the affected child restraint models should contact Dorel’s customer service department at 1-866-762-3316 or visit http://www.djgusa.com/safety_notice.

The affected child restraint models, produced from January 6, 2008 through April 6, 2009, are listed below, for more information you can go to NHTSA. The model number and the manufacture date are located on a label on the side of the car seat/carrier.

I’m glad to see there were no Peg Perego system on that list! Not totally surprising, as IMHO, they tend to be the best.

You pay for that somewhat, but when it comes to the safety of you kids, it doesnt really matter, does it? They’re also on the heavy side (which helps account for the high ratings they receive) as a result of the materials they use and because they can handle longer and heavier children…

Thanks for inlcuding the reference to NHTSA above as well. We should all be checking ratings before AND after we purchase!!

Good luck.

They were sold as part of a travel system. The stroller portion of the travel system is not affected by this recall.
