NHTSA complaint: GRACO SNUGRIDE — CHILD SEAT:MATERIAL/PADDING
MY 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WAS RIDING IN HER CARSEAT AND BEGAN COUGHING CONSTANTLY SO MY HUSBAND PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HE SAW SHE HAD 2 FISTS FULL AND A MOUTH FULL OF STUFFING AND WAS CHOKING. LUCKILY SHE QUICKLY THREW UP AND OUT CAME ALL THE STUFFING. MY HUSBAND REALIZED IT CAME FROM THE BACKING OF HER CARSEAT PAD. I SEARCHED ON LINE AND LEARNED ALTHOUGH MANY OF THE MODELS OF THIS PARTICUAR SEAT BUILT AT THIS TIMEFRAME WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME EXACT REASON - MINE WAS NOT. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND ALSO VERY FRIGHTENING TO DEAL WITH. MY MODEL NUMBER IS 8465EME3. I USED IT FOR MY FIRST CHILD FROM BIRTH TO 5 MONTHS STARTING OCT 2007 AND NOW AM USING AGAIN FOR MY SECOND CHILD. *TT
