GRACO INFANT CAR SEATS

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:

Infant Car Seat Model	Affected Date Range

SnugRide 35 & SnugRide 35 Classic Connect  1760601, 1786420, 1786501, 1788617,  1788618, 1810490, 1810511, 1810997,  1812135, 1812178, 1812179, 1812395,  1813829, 1817149	May 2011 – January 2013
Aprica A30  1821131	July 2011 – April 2012

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:

www.graco.net

Customers with questions or concerns can contact our customer service team by email at:

service@graco.net

or by phone at:

1-800-667-8184.

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.

Post until October 2014

Lil Helper Cloth Diapers are here!

LIL HELPER BAMBOO CLOTH DIAPER - $21.95

The benefits of the Organic Bamboo-PUL Cloth diaper speak for themselves.

FEATURES:  

• Our diaper grows with your baby. Each diaper will perfectly fit your baby from birth until the day he is potty trained. Fits baby from 7-35 lbs. These are called One-Size (OS) cloth diapers.
• Leaks be gone. The outer shell is made of a completely waterproof layer of Polyurethane Laminate. The inside of the shell is lined with micro-fleece, which is water-resistant and can be used multiple times between diaper changes.
• Soak oil spills. The eight layers of cloth in the inner liners will put your kitchen mop to shame.
• Less Laundry Loads. Both inner liners are detachable. Simply replace the dirty liner with a fresh one, using the same outer shell. Less laundry, more daytime TV. Good times.
• Softness you can stand on. Only organic, pesticide free bamboo touches your baby’s skin. Think marshmallows. The micro fiber is sandwiched inside the soft embrace of the organic bamboo.
• Unbeatable Value. All our cloth diapers include two detachable inner liners (one small & one big) along with one size waterproof shell.
• Squirmy babies? Both inner liners attach to the diaper cover with snaps. Your kid can wriggle as much as it wants. Our liners won’t budge.
• Did you know? Bamboo by definition is organic. There is no need for pesticides or fertilizers when growing bamboo. Bamboo is also highly sustainable, growing several feet in a day. While cotton fields yield only 2 tonnes of product per hectare, bamboo crops yield 60 tonnes.
• Baby Do Good. You are directly helping us promote the cause of cloth diapering by giving 1 brand new cloth diaper to a family in need for every 3 diapers you purchase.
