Evenflo recalled its Evolve 3-in-1 Combination Booster Seats for a button that can be reached by a child, allowing them to loosen the harness without a caregiver’s knowledge.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the voluntary recall with the company Wednesday. If the child is able to loosen the harness, they may not be properly secured in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury, the NHTSA stated.

Evolve booster seats manufactured prior to Feb. 9 with model numbers of 34411700 and 34411741 for the U.S. and 34411700C for Canada.

Evenflo said in its release that no injuries have occurred in connection with this issue, but it identified a trend in complaints regarding use of the seat in harnessed mode through its regular review of consumer feedback.

The company said it would provide, at no charge, a remedy kit that will prevent child access and activation of the harness adjustment button. The remedy kit includes a replacement harness adjustment button assembly and installation instructions.

“If your child is not accessing and activating the harness adjustment button, then the Evolve may be used safely in harnessed mode until the remedy kit is installed,” Evenflo stated in its release. “If your child is accessing the harness adjustment button in harnessed mode, then the seat should not be used until you install the remedy kit. Please remember that if your child meets the height and weight requirements for the belt-positioning modes (stages 2 and 3), then the seat may be used safely in these modes.”

The recall is expected to begin Sept. 26, the NHTSA stated. Owners may contact Evenflo atevolve.evenflo.com or 1-800-233-5921.
