bumbo1

So the latest wave of news in child safety involved the Bumbo Baby Seat, which they are now clearly calling Bumbo Floor Seat. The recall explains that at least 50 incidents after the October 2007 voluntary recall in which babies fell from a Bumbo seat while it was being used on a raised surface. Nineteen of those incidents included reports of skull fractures. CPSC and Bumbo International are aware of an additional 34 post-recall reports of infants who fell out or maneuvered out of a Bumbo seat used on the floor or at an unknown elevation, resulting in injury. Two of these incidents involved reports of skull fractures, while others reported bumps, bruises and other minor injuries. To see the recall in Bumbo’s words visit http://recall.bumbousa.com/.

Remedy:  Consumers should immediately stop using the product until they order and install a free repair kit, which includes: a restraint belt with a warning label, installation instructions, safe use instructions and a new warning sticker. The belt should always be used when a child is placed in the seat. Even with the belt, the seat should never be used on any raised surface and the child should never be left alone. Consumers should also immediately stop using Bumbo seat covers that interfere with the installation and use of the belt. A video demonstrating proper installation of the restraint belt and proper use of the Bumbo seat are available at www.BumboUSA.com.

Comfy Carry

Child-safety-seat manufacturer Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling 1,737 Comfy Carry and OnBoard35 infant-safety seats because they were sold without the car seat base and did not contain lower anchor (LATCH) attachments.

The car seat base contains the required Latch attachment assembly. Without lower anchor attachments, these infant-safety seats fail to meet federal safety standard requirements and MAY be difficult to properly install in a vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or death to the child.

This recall applies to carriers sold or distributed without the base. If you are the owner one of these carriers that did not include a base, you will use the vehicle seat belt to install your carrier, this also applies to owners who have a base and would like to install the carrier without the base.

The affected models are:

  • Comfy Carry: IC123FSM
  • OnBoard 35: IC124FSM

Dorel will notify registered owners of the recall and provide bases at no cost. Parents and caregivers who haven’t registered their infant seats should call Dorel at 877-416-8111. Affected owners also can call NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
