Plain-English summary

Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling certain Safety 1st Comfort Ride 3-in-1, Boost & Go 3-in-1, Boost & Go Essential 3-in-1, and MagicSquad 3-in-1 harness booster child seats. The recall affects approximately 73,144 units. Owners should refer to Dorel's recall report for specific model numbers.
