Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling certain infant, convertible, and booster child restraint systems sold as standalone seats or as part of travel systems with strollers. The harness locking and release button on these seats may not return to its locked position, which can allow the harness adjustment strap to slip loose as a child moves around. This condition means a child may not be adequately protected in the event of a vehicle crash and faces an increased risk of injury. The recalled models include Alpha Omega, Alpha Omega Elite, Enspira, Priori, Prospect, Vantage, Mico, and Onboard seats manufactured between May 1, 2008, and April 30, 2009, with specific model numbers listed in the recall.
Registered owners will receive a free remedy kit containing a small tube of non-toxic, food-grade lubricant to apply to the center front adjuster to prevent sticking and allow proper engagement, along with instructions and a completion label. Non-registered owners should contact Dorel Juvenile Group at 1-866-623-3139 or by email at HARNESSADJUSTMENT@DJGUSA.COM and have their child seat's entire model number available when contacting the manufacturer. Owner notification began on February 22, 2011.
