Evenflo has recalled 32,000 car seats because kids may be able to loosen the harness on their own.

The affected models are the Evolve 3-in-1 Combination Booster Seats Evolve Booster Seats manufactured prior to February 9, 2016, with the following model numbers: 34411700 (US), 34411741 (US), 34411700C (Canada). Approximately 32,000 seats are affected by the recall.

What should you do?
Evenflo is providing, at no charge, a remedy kit that will prevent child access and activation of the harness adjustment button. If your child is not accessing and activating the harness adjustment button, then the Evolve may be used safely in harnessed mode until the remedy kit is installed. If your child is accessing the harness adjustment button, then you should not continue to use the seat until the remedy kit has been installed.
