the stroller's tubing frame."While waiting for a repair kit, caregivers should exercise extreme care when unfolding the stroller to be certain that the hinges are firmly locked before placing a child in the stroller," Health Canada said."Caregivers are advised to immediately remove the child from a stroller that begins to fold to keep their fingers from the side hinge area."It is estimated that over 200,000 of the strollers have been purchased in Canada.The recall is undertaken jointly by Health Canada, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Mexico's Consumer Protection Federal Agency and Graco Children's Products Inc.A list of the affected models and model numbers as well as images of the recalled strollers can be found on the Health Canada website at http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2014/42149r-eng.phpSee pictures of the recalled strollers WATCH ABOVE: We have an update to a story we first told you last week. An Edmonton woman was worried when her new car seats stopped working properly.
As Fletcher Kent reports, the woman says the findings of an investigation into the matter raise new questions. An investigation into an Edmonton mom’s complaints about her child’s car seat’s straps coming loose without anyone pressing the release button revealed the child safety device wasn’t defective – it was dirty.Mom Angela Comeau contacted the agency after her child was able to slip out of her car seat.READ MORE: Alberta mother issues warning after child easily loosens car seat straps: ‘It’s baffling’She contacted both Graco — the car set manufacturer — and Transport Canada. She said an investigator from Transport Canada arrived at her house the next day, and told her to stop using two of the three car seats while they investigated. WATCH ABOVE: Transport Canada investigation video showing the car seat not working properly because of debris in the locking mechanism of the release lever.On Tuesday, the agency released the following results of its investigation:“After a full investigation, our field defect investigators determined that, while the harness adjustment strap on a car seat could loosen without actuating the release lever when the seat was occupied, a piece of food was found stuck in the teeth of the locking mechanism of the release lever.
Once the food was removed, the harness release lever functioned correctly and the harness adjustment strap remained as adjusted. As a result of these findings, the department has concluded that there is no defect in the Graco 4Ever car seat.”BELOW: Gallery of photos from Transport Canada of food debris in the release lever of the Graco car seat. WATCH ABOVE: Transport Canada investigation video showing the car seat release lever working properly after food debris is removed from the locking mechanism.eau said the seat continued to malfunction after investigators left her home, and she could not see any debris in the buckle.She said Graco told her it would replace the car seats, but Comeau didn’t trust the seats anymore. eau has since bought three new car seats from a different manufacturer that have hidden levers. She also thinks child seats should have push levers instead of pull levers. She cited a recent Transport Canada recall where an Evenflo car seat was recalled because children could easily reach the adjustment button and loosen the harness.
Three year old Brianna demonstrates how easy it is for her to get out of her Graco car seat- she can easily reach the release lever. #/oUWNixDmBy— Sarah Kraus Global (@SarahNKraus) February 8, 2017Transport Canada reminded parents to regularly inspect their child’s car seats because sometimes the smallest amount of debris can impact the safety and functionality of the seat.Transport Canada also said kids who are large enough to reach the buckle themselves should be taught the importance of a properly tightened harness. Comeau said her daughter has been educated, but she still stands behind her belief that the release lever should be hidden out of reach.Anyone who has experienced an issue with a car seat should file a complaint with Transport Canada online or by phone 1-800-333-0510.The car seat in the Transport Canada video is:Graco 4Ever All-in-One Convertible Car Seat – CameronModel Number: 1978149Serial: 08261600207READ MORE: What you need to know before buying a used car seat
