Plain-English summary

Baby Trend, Inc. is recalling certain Hybrid 3-in-1 Combination Booster Seat-Desert Blue child seats. The recall involves approximately 2,600 units. The defect involves the latch assembly webbing that secures the child restraint system to the lower anchorages, which may fray. This fraying can reduce the strength of the webbing and cause the seat to fail to properly restrain a child in a crash. Consequently, these child seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 213 and 209.

A child seat that fails to properly restrain a child increases the risk of injury in a crash. Baby Trend will mail owners a replacement latch assembly webbing and installation instructions free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 27, 2023.
