Evenflo 380 (triumph Lx) Child Seat Safety Report | Sept 15, 2011
Reported on Sept 15, 2011
| AS MY CHILD GOT OLDER I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT HE MET THE SIZE AND WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS TO CONTINUE USING HIS CHILD RESTRAINT IN A REAR FACING POSITION. I LOOKED AT THE WARNING STICKER ON THE SEAT AND IT SAID THAT THE REAR FACING LIMIT WAS 20 LBS I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE THIS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE WEIGHT CAPACITY WAS MUCH HIGHER WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I THEN LOOKED AT THE MANUAL TO SEE HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE SEAT IN A FORWARD FACING POSITION. THE MANUAL HAD A CONTRADICTORY WARNING STATEMENT THAT SAID THE CHILD MUST BE CHANGED TO THE FORWARD FACING POSITION ONCE HE REACHES 35LBS. THE CONTRADICTORY WARNING STATEMENTS APPLIED TO THE SIDE OF THE SEAT AND IN THE MANUAL ARE CONCERNING BECAUSE PARENTS MAY BE MORE LIKELY TO TURN THE CHILD SEAT AROUND SOONER THAN NECESSARY. IF IT TRULY IS SAFER TO KEEP A CHILD REAR FACING AS LONG AS POSSIBLE THIS LABEL SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *KB | |
