NHTSA recall 97X001000
Child seat › Harness retainer/chest clip
The defect
This IS not a safety recall in accordance with federal regulation 573. however, it IS deemed a product improvement campaign by the agency. the shoulder belts may not be properly located when the child IS placed in the restraint. the velcro seat belt guide on these booster seats helps achieve seat belt placement in all cases.
The risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained causing increased risk of personal injury.
The remedy
Downunder IS providing revised instructions to all owners of kangaroo boosters to help clarify shoulder belt placement. for owners of kangaroo booster model #3 (models without the velcro shoulder belt positioner), a velcro shoulder belt positioner will be sent to upgrade these boosters.
