Evenflo said in its release that no injuries have occurred in connection with this issue, but it identified a trend in complaints regarding use of the seat in harnessed mode through its regular review of consumer feedback. Government documents say that if the harness is loose, it could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Evenflo is recalling almost 30,000 combination booster seats because children can loosen the harness without an adult’s knowledge. Evenflo is providing owners with a new harness adjustment button which will effectively eliminate this possibility.

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.
