Any moderate to severe collision could exert enough force on the latching system of the infant carrier to cause it to separate from its base. It is therefore imperative that the infant carrier be securely fastened without its base with the vehicle's seat belt, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, until a repair kit is received.

What you should do
Consumers who have completed and returned their registration card, or registered their infant car seat on-line at Combi Company, will receive a repair kit free of charge. Those who have not registered their infant car seat should contact ISIS Inc., the importer of the Combi infant carrier, at 1-800-667-4111. Again, the infant carrier should not be used with the base until the repair kit is received. Consumers should not return the affected units to a retailer.
