Combi recall: Child seat
What is wrong
Combi USA, Inc. (Combi) is recalling certain Combi BabyRide Infant Car Seats, model 378099 with dates of manufacture of 5/1/2016 thru 8/31/2019. The 1-inch-wide webbing strap used in the center front adjuster to adjust the shoulder harness straps fail the minimum initial breaking strength requirements, and in certain circumstances, may not adequately restrain a child during a crash. As such, these car seats fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
What could happen
A child that is not adequately restrained in a crash has an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Combi will provide owners a replacement strap along with instructions for replacement. Owner notifications letters were mailed Jan. 28, 2022. Owners may contact Combi customer service by emailing [email protected].
