Owners should contact the company if they have any questions about how to use the seat. An updated instruction manual is available on the company’s website.
Recall 2018745: model years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018
What's wrong: Certain child car seats may not comply with the requirements of the Canada Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (RSSR). The instruction manual, registration card and the labels affixed to the seat contain various minor errors and omissions. Additionally, the seat's movable headrest could change position a crash. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy these technical non-compliance conditions. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance conditions are deemed not to be safety-related.
