I have the evenflo embrace infant carseat.when placing the carseat into the base, the straps get in the way making it hard and sometimes impossible to snap it into the base.several times i have thought that it was snapped all the way in and it was not.in addition, this same problem with the straps cause the straps to get caught and pulled by the base.on four occasions, this problem has caused the shoulder harness to rise up and choke my child.
We have an evenflo stroller/car seat set. The car seat fell off the stroller when my 8 months old daughter was in the carseat(with harness). The carseat was upside down on the ground(concrete).

Later i found out that the latch on the car-seat was broken and it couldn't be locked while being put in the stroller(or car-seat base in the car).

We have an evenflo infant carrier model number 4851952a. It was manufactured on august 5, 2009. The seatbelt loops on the top sides catch my infant's fingers and leave sores. He frequently gets his fingers stuck while i am driving, and can not get them out. We have had to put fabric inside of them so he can't get his hands inside. This occurs very often; practically every time that i put him in the carseat. Like i stated before, they leave red sores on his thumbs, and make him very upset and he cries and panics while we are driving. Often when we are done driving and go to get him out of the carseat, his hands and particularly his thumbs are caught within the seatbelt loops on the top sides of the infant carrier. They have left sores on his thumbs and make him very upset.

Evenflo infant carseat model # 5371821amanufacturer date 01/21/08 ks. The carseat has tipped over with baby in it several times while driving. The base rocks during driving on curves. It seems unsafe to me. It started when my grandchild was about 4 mths. Old and about 11 lbs. I just want people to be aware of this potential danger.
The base of this carseat model is so difficult to buckle into vehicles, not just mine, but also several other vehicles.it took a big guy to actually get it into my car without much movement in any direction, but when i had a car accident, i was unable to buckle it securely into any of my friends vehicles, or in the rental car and had to go buy a new carseat.the "incident date" reflects the timing from when i got the carseat until present and the problems i've had with it until dec 10, 08.
The level indicator on the car seat base does not work properly. It shows that it is level no matter what position it is in, which lead to the car seat being installed at an improper angle. I only discovered this when i found my daughter with her head totally slumped forward. This was very dangerous, as she could have strangulated on the straps or suffered a neck or head injury. I now have to use the car seat without the base; it has a line on the side which can be used to make sure that it is installed at the proper angle.

The clasp that you have to use to loosen and tighten the harness doesn't work right, it has lost its spring to it that keeps it from moving with out squeezing it to make it open enough to loosen or tighten harness and that results in the harness getting to big for the child to stay safe.

The main complaint is the buttons for the handle release on the evenflo carrier, the handle to carry the car seat will frequently unlatch & since i'm carrying my baby in it i always check to make sure the latches latch before and place carrier on the ground so no weight is a factor,i pick up the carrier but then as i carry her for instance in a store/my house etc it will actually without me clicking the release button it would click on its own & release while the carrier part is still in my arms (on numerous occasions when it does this, the handle will go flimsy out of no where without warning & i feel putting my baby in danger! i purchased this car seat brand new for my new born daughter on july 16, 2014 so for the sake of the safety of my child & the stress/worry & money i had put into this product i would like either a replacement or my money back please if possible
