Is my product affected?

BABY TREND TRENDZ FASTBACK

  • Brand BABY TREND

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Baby Trend, Inc. is recalling certain 2011 and 2012 TrendZ Fastback 3-in-1 child restraints (models FB60070 in Granite and FB60408 in Jellybean) manufactured between October 2011 and July 2013. The harness buckle on these seats may become difficult or impossible to unlatch, even when the release button is depressed, which could make it hard to remove a child from the restraint in an emergency requiring a quick exit from the vehicle.

Baby Trend began notifying registered owners on April 25, 2014, and will provide replacement buckles once they become available. Owners of affected child restraints should contact Baby Trend at 1-800-328-7363 or visit www.babytrend.com for more information.
