Baby Trend recall: Child seat
What is wrong
Baby Trend, Inc. (Baby Trend) is recalling certain Hybrid LX 3-in-1 Centennial booster seats, model number FB58181, manufactured on July 23, 2016, and Hybrid LX 3-in-1 Kiwi booster seats, model number FB48417, manufactured on July 14, 2016. The affected child seats have a center adjuster rivet that may pull through or break if the harness is being used with a child weighing more than 40 lbs. As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
What could happen
In the event of a crash, the child seat occupant is at an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Baby Trend will notify owners and replace the child seat or provide a full refund. The recall began on February 13, 2017. Owners may contact Baby Trend customer service at 1-800-328-7363.
