I never looked into it since we'd only use it during our vacation. We live so far, we don't get to visit often, so I figure I'd just let grandma buy whatever one she wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/safety-1st-carseat-recall#post-1085466 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:44:23 +0000 Adira 1085466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for posting this!

That's one of the reasons it's a not recommended seat in the cpst community. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/safety-1st-carseat-recall#post-1085441 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:38:49 +0000 Chillybear 1085441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got the Complete Air 70 at our shower i dont think it falls in the date range but i wrote all the info down to check it when i get home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/safety-1st-carseat-recall#post-1085431 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:35:41 +0000 pl0508 1085431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily our complete air doesn't fall in this date range.

My brother took 2 days to install it (re-installed numerous times and he had to get better instructions from a user group online). No wonder it was such a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/safety-1st-carseat-recall#post-1085383 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:24:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1085383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.sacbee.com/2013/09/12/5729546/dorel-juvenile-recalls-89000-child.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sacbee.com/2013/09/12/5729546/dorel-juvenile-recalls-89000-child.html</a></p> <p>Dorel Juvenile USA is recalling more than 89,000 child safety seats because labels showing how to install them could be wrong.</p> <p>The recall affects some Safety 1st Complete Air LX, Safety 1st Complete Air SE, Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite and Eddie Bauer Deluxe 3-in-1 convertible models.</p> <p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website that the rear-facing belt path installation arrows are wrong and could cause the seats to be installed incorrectly. If that happens, a child could be hurt in a crash. The company says there haven't been any incidents or injuries.</p> <p>The seats were made from July 20, 2010 through May 18, 2011.</p> <p>Company spokeswoman Julie Vallese said the incorrect labels were put on the seats to make them easier for customers to use and are not required by safety laws. Installation information in the owner's manuals is correct, she said.</p> <p>"The performance, crashworthiness, all of the structural integrity of the car seats are unaffected in any way by this recall," Vallese said.</p> <p>Dorel will notify registered owners and send new labels for free. Owners may call Dorel at 1-877-675-2355 or <a href="http://www.djgusa.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.djgusa.com</a> for details. </p>
