Cleaning Tips for Harness Buckles:
As part of our continuous product testing and improvement process,
Graco identified that food and dried liquids that can make some harness
buckles progressively more difficult to open over time or become stuck
in the latched position. Therefore, Graco has decided to conduct a
voluntary recall on the harness buckles used on all toddler convertible
car seats and harnessed booster seats manufactured from 2009 to July
2013. Graco would like to stress this does not in any way affect the
performance of the car seat or the effectiveness of the buckle to
restrain the child. And a car seat is always the safest way to transport
your child.
