| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The problem occurred about a week ago when my daughters ages 2 yrs, and 7 months were riding side-by-side in my car. the stickers on the two year ld seat, unknown to me, had began to peal, and flake. she handed a uarter sized piece of this material to the 7 month old as we were going down the road. the 7 month old put this in her month, and began to choke. she had spit-up, and was having difficulty breathing. thankfully, i was ble to safely pull over. my daughter was becoming extremly distressed. after attempting multiple finger sweeps, i discovered, and was able to remove the piece of plastic coated sticker from my baby's airway. i then removed all stickers from the two year olds seat for the safety of the baby. i'm was not asking for a recall, (the car seat company has sent us a new seat) just an announcement to make parents aware that this could happen. i had never thought to check the stickers. i always test their seats, and the buckles before putting them in, but had never thought of this type of threat. even though my daughter is fine now, this was a very scary ordeal that i hope no other parent will have to go through.*ak |
