Kolcraft infant car seats/carriers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Kolcraft infant car seats and carriers manufactured between January 1, 1993, and June 30, 1999, are being recalled because the handle can unexpectedly shift from its carrying position, causing the seat to rotate and potentially drop the infant. The affected models include Infant Rider, Secura, Travel-About, Plus 4, Plus 5, Kolcraft Infant Restraint, Kolcraft Infant Car Seat, and Playskool Infant Car Seat, identifiable by model/style numbers beginning with 1312X, 1382X, 1383X, 1384X, 1385X, 368XX, 43XXX, or 7700X.
Consumers should check the label on the side of their car seat for the manufacturing date and five-digit model/style number. Those with recalled seats should contact Kolcraft to receive a free repair kit that is easy to install. Until the seat is repaired, consumers should carry it by the head and foot rather than by the handle, though the seat continues to be safe and usable as a car seat.
