SAFELINE KIDS, INC. 1-(800)-829-1625



Models: Sit'n'Stroll Model 2003
Production Dates: September 1, 2002, to October 21, 2003
Noncompliance: These seats do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." In the event of a vehicle crash, forces could cause the child's head to move further forward than allowed by Safety Standard 213, increasing the risk of head injury to the child.
Corrective Action: Safeline Kids will mail repair instructions and a revised owners manual. The customers are being asked to remove and discard the shoulder and buckle pads from the harness before continuing to use the seat. The shoulder and buckle pads may interfere with the harness becoming properly snug. Also, customers should only use the upper forward-facing belt path. There is no problem when the seat is used in the rear-facing position for children weighing less than 20 pounds.
Owners who have not registered their product should contact Safeline Kids' toll-free number (800-829-1625) between 8:30 am to 4:30 pm MST Monday through Thursday or between 8:30am and 3:00pm MST Friday. They may also email Safeline Kids at service@safelinekids.com.

	Forward Facing Car Seats A forward-facing car seat is one in which the child sits facing the front of the car. The seat should be installed in the back seat of your vehicle. Most forward-facing only seats are for children above 20 pounds.

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.
