According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 190,000 car seats are being recalled because the harness on the seat can loosen after the child is buckled in.  Car seats owners are asked to make sure the seat is adjusted properly, and to continue using the seat since it provides greater crash protection than a seat belt alone.  Registered owners will be sent free harness clips as part of a recall repair kit, and non-registered owners can call to receive their kit.

Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. (DJG) has recalled select Eddie Bauer, Safety 1st and Cosco models of carseats.  Find out if you are affected, and whom to contact to make sure you receive your recall kit.  The NHTSA and Dorel Juvenile Group recommend that owners of the recalled seats continue using them and make sure that the seat is properly adjusted.
