On July 4th, 2014, Graco Children’s products Inc, issued a voluntary Safety Advisory in Canada concerning certain Graco infant car seats. Further information pertaining to the Advisory that is being issued in Canada can be found on Transport Canada’s website at www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-notices-menu-907.htm
In Canada, this safety advisory affects certain Graco Snugride and Aprica car seats. The affected models are:

DEFECT: On certain infant car seats, the buckle may become difficult to unlatch or become stuck in the latched position, making it difficult to remove an infant from their car seat and increasing the risk of injury in the event of an emergency requiring immediate exit from the vehicle.
In Canada, approximately 127,497 of these Graco car seats were sold.
Seats manufactured outside of this date use a different harness buckle and are excluded from this action.
REMEDY: Graco offers a new and improved replacement harness buckle to affected consumers at no cost. Registered owners will be sent a letter containing proper care instructions and information on how to obtain a replacement buckle. Consumers can visit our website and register online for a free repair kit at:

Graco will offer a replacement buckle at no cost to any consumer who has an infant car seat not included in this recall, but would like to update their buckle to Graco’s current buckle design. The installation of the harness is very straightforward and a clear leaflet is provided. Additional assistance can be found at www.graco.net.
