Canadian Recall: Learning Curve VIA I470C Rear Facing Only Car Seat
The Via has been sold under the Lamaze and First Years brand names.
Independent testing has revealed that the seat does not pass required standard with regard to force to the head and chest. In addition, the recline foot may loosen in an impact, introducing slack to the installation, increasing the injury risk.
This is a serious life-safety recall. Caregivers should immediately stop using the seat and dispose of it so that it cannot be reused.
Britax ClickTight Concern
It has come to our attention that many of the Britax ClickTight convertible seats are being shipped without being assembled correctly. The harness is attached an anchor on either side of the seat at the hips. This anchor has a hook at the end that the harness must slide under to secure it. Some ClickTight convertibles are being shipped with the harness on the anchor but slid under the hook.
