Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Coral XP Rear-Facing Infant Seats.
Recall Information
Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Coral XP Rear-Facing Infant Seats with model number IC313. The child seat inner carrier is not sufficient to restrain a child without the use of the outer carrier. The inner carrier design and labeling of the Coral XP’s inner carrier are labeled as a child restraint system. Coral XP’s child restraint system cannot be installed into a vehicle without the use of the outer carrier, which is a supplemental device. As such, all Coral XP models fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213, “Child Restraint Systems”.
Until Dorel can provide Coral XP owners a refund or replacement car seat remedy, the inner carrier of the Coral XP may continue to be used when attached to the outer carrier and the outer carrier is installed with or without the base using the vehicle belt restraint system, consistent with the existing instruction booklet and labels.

- Can I still safely use my Coral XP Infant Seat and Base until my replacement car seat arrives?

- Can I still safely use my non-Coral XP Infant Seat and Base until my replacement base arrives?
- Yes, you may continue to safely use these car seats with the base installed using the vehicle belt, or with outer carrier shell only installation using the vehicle belt, consistent with the existing instruction manual and labels until your replacement base arrives.
- What do I do with my recalled car seat once my replacement car seat or base arrives?
- For Coral XP owners, once your replacement car seat arrives or you receive your refund, please cut the anchor webs and harness off the old base & carrier shell (if you haven’t already done so), then properly dispose of the entire Coral XP including the base, outer shell and inner shell.
How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component:
Until Dorel can provide Coral XP owners a refund or replacement car seat remedy, the inner carrier of the Coral XP may continue to be used when attached to the outer carrier and the outer carrier is installed with or without the base using the vehicle belt restraint system, consistent with the existing instruction booklet and labels.
