The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a warning to owners of Baby Trend child car seats because of their failure to protect a child during a vehicle accident. The fault in the Baby Trend car seats is specifically in the base, which Baby Trend will replace at no charge.
The following Baby Trend seats are at risk:
Magnum model #6439
Galaxy model #6481
Silverado model #6448
6400S bases (sold separately) manufactured between May 14, 2007 and April 1, 2008
Owners of these products need to call 1-800-328-7363 to get their free replacement. In the meantime, the NHTSA recommends that you use the car seat without the base.
