Dropping infant seats a big problem?

Evenflo keeps making defective handles and having recalls. You'd *THINK* they would have learned their lesson 10 years ago when it happened the first time, but noooooooooo....

I'm pretty sure no one else is making baby-dumping seats :thumbsup:

Yeah, I think Evenflo is the big offender here. I also suspect that most injuries are caused when people put their babies in the seat, but neglect to buckle them. People think if the seat isn't in the car then the harness is optional. That puts baby at risk in the case of a handle failure or if the person carrying the seat slips and falls.

True...handles coulld be collapsing all over the place, and if the kids were properly buckled in every time, the injury rate would be significantly lower (it happened to one of my playgroup friends 10 years ago...she said wow, the handle just collapsed and thank goodness the baby was buckled!..THEN there was a recall, that's good, I didn't think it seemed right to just release like that....)

One more reason to use the car seat as just that, a CAR seat. Evenflo has issues, as stated above.
