Please do not return your child’s seat to retailers.
- 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.
- If your child is accessing the harness adjustment button in harnessed mode, then the seat should not be used until you install the remedy kit. Please remember that if your child meets the height and weight requirements for the belt-positioning modes (stages 2 and 3), then the seat may be used safely in these modes.
Evenflo will notify registered owners and provide a remedy kit with a replacement harness adjustment button, free of charge. The remedy kit includes a push-style harness adjustment system to replace the existing pull-style button. This change effectively eliminates the child’s ability to access and activate the harness adjustment button while in the car seat.
