What you should do
Consumers who have completed and returned their registration card, or registered their infant car seat on-line at Combi Inc., will receive by mail a free replacement Canadian UAS belt kit.
The kit will include a replacement Canadian UAS belt, UAS belt replacement instructions, as well as an instruction manual update. Those who have not registered their infant car seat should contact Isis Inc. at 1-800-667-4111.
Until the replacement Canadian UAS belt kit is received, if the adjustable recline foot must be extended in order to install the base at the correct angle, parents and caregivers should use the vehicle seat belt instead of the UAS belt to secure the infant car seat in the vehicle. Consumers should not return the affected units to a retailer.
Consumers may also contact Transport Canada at 1-800-333-0371 or view the recall notice on Transport Canada's website.
