Safety #Recall on Graco Nautilus and My Ride 65 Car Seats in #Canada

There has been a Safety Recall on Graco Nautilus and My Ride 65 car seats in Canada, made between January 2009 and July 2013.

On certain Graco Nautilus and MyRide 65 model child car seats manufactured between January 2009 and July 2013, the buckle may become contaminated with foreign material, such as food or dried liquids. Over time, the buckle may become progressively more difficult to unlatch or become stuck in the latched position.  

If this problem occurs, it may be difficult or impossible to unlatch the buckle, which could delay the removal of a child from the seat and increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation in which a prompt exit from the vehicle is required. There is no risk if the buckle is not contaminated and is functioning normally. 

Here's a picture of the recalled buckles:

 


Check the Transport Canada website for more information regarding model numbers, and what to do if you have one of these seats.  Keep those little ones safe!

Bugaboo Stroller #Recall

A heads up to anyone who owns a Bugaboo stroller: More than 50,000 of these strollers have been recalled by Health Canada and the CPSC due to a fall and choking hazard. 4,400 of these have been sold in Canada.

Keep your kids safe!

According to Health Canada:

The white button on the carry handle may pop out when the Bugaboo Cameleon or Bugaboo Donkey pram body is placed on the ground or on an unstable surface. This may cause the carry handle to detach and result in a potential fall hazard and choking hazard. Bugaboo International BV has received 58 incidents of the carry handle white buttons failing in North America with no reported injuries.

What to do:  Immediately remove handle from effected strollers.  Contact Bugaboo for a replacement part here or contact Bugaboo at serviceus@bugaboo.com or at 1-800-460-2922 between 7AM and 4PM PT Monday through Friday.
