Evenflo has officially announced a voluntary recall involving certain All4One and All4One DLX 4-in-1 car seats. These car seats were manufactured between 2022 and 2024 and sold in both the United States and Canada. This recall was issued after internal testing identified a concern related to the seat’s rear-facing recline function. Evenflo has clarified that no injuries have been reported in connection with this issue. The company is taking this step as a precaution to ensure continued safety and compliance with standards.
This recall is specifically related to how the car seat behaves when installed in the rear-facing position. While there have been no injuries reported, Evenflo identified a potential safety concern during testing. This article explains everything you need to know in simple, clear language, including affected models, safety risks, what parents should do and how to stay informed about car seat recalls.
Why Has Evenflo Issued This Recall?
The recall was issued after internal testing showed an issue related to the recline mechanism when the All4One car seat is used in rear-facing mode.
What Exactly Is the Problem?
During crash testing, Evenflo discovered that:
- When installed rear-facing, the car seat may shift from one recline position to another during a crash.
- This movement does not reduce crash protection for a properly secured child.
- However, there is a potential pinching risk if someone sitting next to the car seat places their hands or fingers near the recline mechanism while the seat is rear-facing.
Are Children at Risk?
No injuries have been reported and Evenflo has clearly stated that:
- The issue does not compromise child safety in a crash.
- The concern mainly affects adjacent passengers, not the child sitting in the seat.
- The recall is precautionary and focused on preventing any possible future issues.
Does This Recall Affect All Modes of Use?
Rear-Facing Mode
- The recall only applies to rear-facing use.
- The seat may shift between recline positions in a crash.
- Hands and fingers should be kept away from the recline mechanism.
Forward-Facing Mode
- There are no safety concerns when the seat is used forward-facing.
- Even so, the seat is still included in the recall, regardless of how it’s currently being used.
Booster Mode
- There are no risks associated with booster mode use.
- Still, the recall applies to the affected models even if they are currently used as boosters.
