Why it was recalled

A child seat that fails to properly restrain a child increases the risk of injury in a crash.

What was recalled

Baby Trend, Inc. (Baby Trend) is recalling certain Hybrid 3-in-1 Combination Booster Seat-Desert Blue child seats. The latch assembly webbing that secures the child restraint system to the lower anchorages may fray, which can reduce the strength of the webbing and fail to properly restrain a child in a crash. As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 213, "Child Restraint Systems," and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

What to do

Baby Trend, Inc. will mail owners a replacement latch assembly webbing and installation instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2023. Owners may contact Baby Trend customer service at 1-800-328-7363.. Follow the official notice for full instructions.
