Eddie Bauer, Safety 1st and Cosco Car Seat Recall
Wednesday June 1, 2005
Dorel Juvenile Products, a major baby products manufacturer, recently announced the recall of popular rear-facing infant car seats sold under the Eddie Bauer, Safety 1st and Cosco brand names. The harness straps on these rear-facing infant car seats can loosen after the baby is buckled in, providing less protection in a crash. Dorel will mail a repair kit to affected customers who have registered their car seats. To learn more about the Eddie Bauer, Cosco and Safety 1st car seat recall, and other recent baby products recalls, visit the Current Baby Products Recalls pages.
A major car seat recall is a good reminder to all parents to register their car seats. The best time to register is immediately after purchasing the car seat, but if you've waited, it's not too late. Register now to be better prepared for any future recalls. When a car seat is recalled, the company can easily contact customers who own affected products and arrange for refunds or repair kits. In the recent case with Dorel, the parents who have registered their car seats will automatically receive a repair kit, probably faster than if they had to wait and contact the company. Registering your baby's car seat upon purchase ensures that you receive important recall information and can take the necessary actions to protect your child in the car even faster.

where can i get a recall kit for the eddie bauer car seat that was recalled
I have moved several times in the past two years,so my recall notice will not reach me. How could I get on the recall list and receive the car seat kit?
What is the contact number to get a kit. I have two seats and one was purchased I believe after the recall date. Wouldn’t the store by liable for that??
Does anyone know which eddie bauer car seat this is talking about? Model number, name, color? I am buying one and need to know. Thanks
I just called regarding my Eddie Bauer/Cosco carseat & the model # was found on the side of the carseat. Mine was 22-625-EDG & it was manufactured on 02/01/04. We bought it as part of the Eddie Bauer Edgewood Travel System in 2004. I was told by the Dorel rep that they’d send me a free repair kit within 7-10 business days. Here’s the # I called: (800) 880-9435.
I found this link to get a new base that has been recalled. FYI – I registered our car seat(s) but have never received any information about the recall until my mother told me about it – otherwise I would have never known.

I believe that if there is going to be a recall on a car seat then the hotline number should be open all day everyday. I also had registered my son’s car seat and have not recieved one piece of mail stating that anything was wrong. My grandmother had to tell me. Makes me feel that my child is safe!
If I didn’t register my Safty 1st seat and I register it now will I still get the repair kit??
I have a eddie bauer car seat! Hate it do not buy one Dorothy. Choose something different. I registered my car seat when I first bought it and requested the repair kit and never got it. Dont risk it just don’t buy one they look nice but not worth it.
i just bought a eddie bauer carseat/stroller does anyone know which one of the eddie bauer carseat was recalled in yesterdays news?
How do I register my car seat if I did not do that when purchased?
We are looking at the Eddie Bauer car seats does any one know if there is a recall on this model number #i23 657 1373…..
What happens if you received the seat as a gift for your child? Can you still reg. it??
I just registered for the Eddie Bauer Adventurer Travel System at Target. Why do some people hate it so much? I’m starting to get nervous because of some of the reviews I’ve read. I also have not been able to find safety ratings on it.
OK does anyone know where to find out the makes and models of the Eddie Bauer car seat that has been recalled? Thanks
So I never registered my carseat, how can I get the safety kit? What a scam! They sell an unsafe, expensive car seat, then make it hard to get the safety kit after a recall. I will never buy another baby product from Eddie Bauer.
This post is about an Eddie Bauer car seat recall from two years ago. If you need information on a 2007 Eddie Bauer/Cosco/Safety 1st car seat recall, call Dorel Juvenile Products at 800-219-0509. It’s helpful if you can have your car seat model number and manufacture date ready when you call. That info is on one of the labels on the car seat, usually on the side or bottom.
I can’t believe i paid over $200 for a car seat for them to send me a do it yourself repair kit with a piece of tape in it, how is that any safer. I want a new car seat. I will send them my old one if i have to.
you do not get what you pay for because i paid good money for a car seat and it is falling apart and they want me to fix it after sitting on the phone with them for over 30 min. I will never buy anything with the name eddie bauer on it and I will advise the same to everyone that I know
The same thing with us, we knew NOTHING of the recall until I saw a car seat behind the counter like the one I bought at Walmart. I asked the counter person if anything was wrong with it THEN I was told they believed there was a recall on it?!?NO recall was sent to us regarding the Omega Alpha car seat even though I registered my product. These are CHILDREN who are going in these seats that they’re making and they are NOT assuring their safety for the sake of the dollar! NOT IMPRESSED!!!
does anyone know what strap is defective on a Safety 1st.22458C? really like to know, thanks.
Post about a recall but recall about what? No model number thats nice.
What model of rear-facing infant car seat is it from Saftey 1st because I have pulled and tuged on my sons car seat like there is no tomorrow and nothing has happened not even the slightest budge from the harness.
