Issue

Certain child car seats may not comply with the requirements of Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations. The lower universal anchorage connectors may be wider than regulations permit. As a result, users may have difficulty installing the restraint in some vehicles when using the lower connector system. Incorrectly latched lower connectors may not securely restrain the child seat during a vehicle crash, possibly leading to serious injury. Note: The lower connector system can continue to be used if the connectors can be latched securely. If not, the car seat should instead be secured with the vehicle seat belt, following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Correction: All registered owners will receive instructions on how to obtain the new lower connector system, if it is required. Non-registered owners of affected car seats, or owners who have moved, should contact Harmony Juvenile Products’ customer service department (1-877-306-1001) to receive instructions.The affected car seats should not be returned to the retailer.
