Recaro Como & Signo Car Seats
Mar. 12, 2009 - Recaro is recalling some Como and Signo car seats because a spring in the locking cam was manufactured to the wrong dimensions. Only Como and Signo car seats made between Nov. 1, 2007 and Feb. 16, 2009 are included. The center front adjuster strap can slip on affected models, meaning the harness may not be securely tightened.

Call 888-473-2290 for more information.

Feb. 27, 2009 - Recaro has recalled about 5,500 Signo car seats manufactured between February and September 2008 because a spring inside the locking cam was manufactured outside the dimensional requirements.

Affected Signo car seats will be replaced. Call 888-473-2290 for more information.
Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 Car Seats
Jan. 10, 2009 - About 32,000 Peg Perego Primo Viaggio infant car seats are recalled because mold flash (extra plastic from the mold) may remain on the harness adjuster cover, leaving a sharp edge that can cut or scrape a baby's bare feet. More than 90 incidents of cuts and scratches have been reported. Only Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 infant car seats manufactured between July 2007 and March 2008 are affected. A new adjuster cover was sent to all registered owners of affected car seats. Others may call 800-671-1701 to receive a free replacement adjuster cover. The car seat is safe to use while you await the replacement cover.
Brita Frontier Combination Car Seats
Dec. 9, 2008 - More than 30,000 Britax Frontier combination car seats are recalled because if the harness straps are loosened one at a time, the straps can come loose from the metal yoke on the back of the car seat. If the harness straps detach, the child will not be properly restrained, which could result in increased risk of injury in a crash. Affected models are E9L54E7 (Red Rock), E9L54H6 (Rushmore), E9L54H7 (Pink Sky), E9L54M6 (Canyon) and E9L5490 (Sahara), manufactured between April 1 and Sept. 18 2008. If you have not registered your Britax Frontier car seat, call 800-683-2045 to register and request a repair kit. You can still use this car seat before receiving the repair kit, but take care to adjust both harness straps at one time and tug them to be sure they are attached to the yoke, or use the seat in booster mode if appropriate for your child.
