From cnn.,,
According to the government, the seven models that Graco isn't recalling despite being asked to do so by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are all infant seats. Specifically, they are: Snugride, Snugride 30, Snugride 32, Infant Safe Seat-Step 1, Snugride 35, Tuetonia 35, and Snugride Click Connect 40.

I just want to mention they are not recalling the actual seats - it's only the straps. They are sending replacement straps to those that call - the seats are still safe

Re: Graco car seat recall...

just in case people dont read the article it said...

According to the government, the seven models that Graco isn't recalling despite being asked to do so by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are all infant seats. Specifically, they are: Snugride, Snugride 30, Snugride 32, Infant Safe Seat-Step 1, Snugride 35, Tuetonia 35, and Snugride Click Connect 40.

Asked about these models, Graco's spokeswoman said that any customers with those or other car seats can still call and get a new harness buckle sent to them for free.

"They are not officially recalled; however, customers experiencing any difficulty with their harness buckle can still get a new one," said Mowrey.

We just got a snugride 30 that's new for 2014 so hopefully it's ok! When we take it out of the box, I'll make sure.

Crashing-

It's NOT the straps, its the buckles. They have been known to stick. Graco will send new buckles (rectangular in shape not round)

There is NO safety concern whatsoever. (Thank goodness)

Graco car seat recall...

If you go to the Graco site you can request the new buckle and they will send you one out in 7-15 business days.

This is the email I received:

Thank you for ordering a replacement harness buckle(s) for your Graco car seat(s). This email serves as a confirmation of your order and concludes your transaction. As requested, we will send you a replacement harness buckle(s) and detailed instructions on installing it in your Graco car seat(s).

We would like to provide a helpful reminder that the safest way to transport a child is always in a car seat. This recall does not impact the performance of your seat or its effectiveness in restraining your child. While waiting for the replacement, we recommend these tips to properly clean your buckle as we have found that cleaning will improve the performance of your buckle:

To clean your buckle, turn the restraint over and push the retainer through the harness strap slot. Place the buckle in a cup of warm water and gently agitate the buckle, pressing the red button several times while it is in the water.

Do not submerge the harness webbing and do not use soaps or lubricants, only rinse the harness buckle with warm water.
Shake out the excess water and allow the harness buckle to air dry.

Reattach the harness buckle into the same slot and re-check harness for correct installation according to the car seat manual before use.

Thank you in advance for your continued patience. Please be reassured we are committed to sending you a new and improved replacement harness buckle promptly.
