PSA

I thought I would pass along this info. that I found tonight in my "Parents" magazine because I know that a lot of people have these Chicco car seats like we do.

"18,000 child safety seat bases including those in the Keyfit, Keyfit 30, and Cortina Travel Systems (sold from February 2008 to March 2008) were recalled because of a defect tahat prevents the base from being installed securely when the lower latch attachments are used. Attach it to your vehicle's safety straps instead, and call 800-807-8817 for a replacement base."

I called Chicco at this number and they told me that it was only the bases made in Feb-March 08 and they could still be used but you just have to follow their instructions for proper use. I looked at my seat and even though it was bought in March 08 it was manufactured in Dec. 07 so ours was not affected. Anyways, if you have one you might check out the date it was made.
