Evenflo car seats use the same buckles being recalled in the graco recall due to children being trapped in emergency situations. I have all but broken my fingers attempting to push the button hard enough to eject these buckles. It is a safety hazard to any child using this buckle system. Please help keep our babies safe and make evenflo recall the same product recalled by graco.
We have had people come back in with the evenflo maestro car seat.they could not get their children out of the seat because the buckle was stuck.we had to actually cut the belts to get three of the children out of the seat.we had to replace them with new seats.we are a certified installation facility. Fourth return came in today.
Hello to whom it may concern my name is [xxx] and i have the evenflo lx booster car seat and every time i put my daughter in it the clip from the chest easily comes undone with just a simple tug and when i first bought i thought i was putting her in right and it's been 1 year and this is still happening so i'm going to get her a different car seat because i can't imagine if i were to get into a accident that she would not be protected . I bought this car seat because i'm on a budget and it was in my price range but i've decided that it's better to spend a little extra because he safety is what matters most thank you for your time . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
We own an evenflo carwith an impossible buckle. It is difficult to latch and almost impossible to unlatch.the evenflo co. Has not offered any assistance to us in fixing this problem, except to tell us to uninstall the seat and re-install the seat and this has not done a thing to help our issue. We are grandparents and we know car seats after having raised 7 children.and my husband has read and re-read the instructions.this is clearly a mechanical problem with the latching system.
Difficulty unlatching the harness buckle. It is difficult to remove the child from the restraint and i am afraid the buckle can become stuck when latched so that it cannot be opened by depressing the buckles release button.
Maestro evenflo car seat has a gap in the seat construction behind the child head rest that has exposed styrofoam that children can (has) pick at and can consume. No vin available updated 9/21/18
The buckle on this car seat is very difficult to open.it has only gotten worse with time.i keep checking the evenflowebsite, and while the model (maestro), and the prefix (310), and the dateof manufacture (1/3/2012) are correct for this recall.when i provide the full model number (3101887) i'm told that this buckle is not part of the recall.
The harness buckle is very difficult to latch and sometimes will not latch at all. *dt *dt
The crotch harness release button is very difficult to release the harness. Even without the harness plugged into the release buckle, pressing on the button creates a binding sound and must be pressed hard to operate. It takes several attempts to release it if your not pressing hard enough in the right place. We have removed the seat from use due to this safety concern. Also, the harness edge is starting to fray after only about 1 year of use.
