This notice does not affect SnugRide models sold as a travel system. A travel system includes a stroller, an infant car seat, and a car seat base.
Hazard identified
Children picking at, removing, or putting in their mouth fiber fill from SnugRide car seat pads could present a potential choking hazard. These restraint systems have less dense backing material for the seat pad combined with a seat pad design that may allow children to access the fiber fill in the seat pad itself.
This does not affect the ability of the infant restraint system to protect a child in the case of a motor vehicle crash.
There have been no incidents reported in Canada.
Number sold
10,828 across Canada.
Time period sold
Between August 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007.
