I haven't seen this yet. Sorry if it was already posted somewhere. I got it in an email from my instructor today. I'm sure it's on the TC website as well.

Issue:
During Transport Canada research testing, it was found in certain situations, that when the front vehicle seat back is in close proximity to the recommended in-vehicle location of the carrying handle of the Peg Perego SIP infant carrier, the carrying handle might contact the vehicle seat back in a frontal collision. Should contact take place there may be an elevated risk of injury to the child.
Upon receiving this information, Peg Perego performed dynamic testing on the infant carrier with the carrying handle in different positions to ensure that any change would not affect the performance of the infant carrier. Through their testing, Peg Perego has determined that the carrying handle can be located in either of two positions while travelling in a vehicle. Position A (original position) is located at the top edge of the infant carrier and Position B is located forward of the carrier and resting on the vehicle’s rear seat back. (Insert diagrams) Position A is suitable when there is not contact between the carry handle and the vehicle’s front seat back.
The instruction manual has been revised with the correct information and new labeling for the carrying handle is being made available.
Consumer Recourse:
Consumers may call the Peg Perego Canada Inc. helpline at 1-800-661-5050 to request a free copy of the revised instruction manual and a revised label to be placed on the handle.
