National Car Seat Recall Sparks Warning for Kids
American-based brand Evenflo has announced a recall on certain models of its All4One 4-in-1 convertible car seats for children.
The recall, announced January 8, 2025, is tied to the chair’s recline mechanism. The recall was issued after testing showed that seats may shift from one recline position to another during a crash. According to a recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this increases children’s risk of injury.

Why Are Evenflo Car Seats Being Recalled?
The All4One 4-in-1 convertible car seat recall was issued by Evenflo after testing showed that when the movable seat is rear-facing, it may move from one position to another during a crash.
Per NHTSA, the seats fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for child restraint systems.
However, the company indicates there have been no reports of injuries, and the issue “does not negatively impact protection for a child secured in the car seat.”
There may be a “risk of pinching” if an adjacent passenger places their hands and/or fingers in the reclining mechanism when it is being used in rear-facing mode, the company indicates.
“The safety and well-being of children and families who trust our products is our highest priority, and we are taking this step out of an abundance of caution,” the company said in a recall notice.
What Parents With All4One 4-in-1 Car Seats Should Do
Evenflo suggests that parents and caregivers can continue to use the car seats, even in rear-facing mode, but should be mindful to keep their hands and fingers away from the recline mechanism when the seat is rear-facing.
Consumers who have registered the car seats with Evenflo will be contacted by the brand and offered a replacement car seat. Individuals who own a recalled car seat but have not registered it can do so online.
