Child Seat
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Sit "n" stroll rear-facing and forward-facing convertible child restraints model #2003, manufactured between september 1, 2002, and october 21, 2003. When the seat is secured in the vehicle using the lower forward-facing belt path or when the shoulder and buckle pads included with the restraint are used, forces during a crash could cause the child's head to move forward further than allowed by the federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 213, "child restraint systems." shoulder and buckle pads may interfere with the harness becoming properly snug.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
In the event of a vehicle crash, there is an increased risk of head injury to the child.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Safeline kids will mail repair instructions and a revised owners manual. Owners are being asked to remove and discard the shoulder and buckle pads from the harness before continuing to use the seat. The shoulder and buckle pads may interfere with the harness becoming properly snug. Also, owners should only use the upper forward-facing belt path. There is no problem when the seat is used in the rear-facing position for children weighing less than 20 pounds. Owners who have not registered their product may contact safeline kids' toll-free number (800-829-1625) between 8:30 am to 4:30 pm mst monday through thursday or between 8:30 am and 3:00 pm mst friday.
