Puffy clothes and costumes don’t belong under a correctly fitted harness. Change into the spooky ghost or brave superhero at your destination.

🚨RECALL ALERT!
✅ THE SEAT IS STILL SAFE TO USE!

▶️ Nuna has recalled certain Nuna Rava car seats. For seats with a plastic harness adjuster button, debris may enter the front harness adjuster and cause the mechanism to fail, resulting in a loose harness that may not restrain the child properly in a crash.

Model number affected: CS-50 and CS-05 manufactured 7/16/2016 - 10/25/2023.

CS-50-001 CAVIAR
CS-50-002 INDIGO

🔎 Your model number can be found on the label on the car seat.

👍🏼 Your seat is still safe to use as long as the harness is functioning properly. We highly recommend tugging on the harness before every ride to check.

🚫 Discontinue use immediately if the harness loosens without pressing the release button.

📱 If your seat is a part of the recall, contact Nuna customer service (1-855-686-2891) or email: ([email protected]). and they will send you a remedy kit free of charge.

⭐️ Please know that recalls, while they do happen from time to time, are not common. The car seat can be used until you receive the remedy kit.

My best friend from my childhood messaged me today.

It wasn't what I was expecting. I had to re-compose myself before posting this.

"Hey Eran !
I hope you and your family are doing amazing 💕
Not a lot of people know right now, but we were in a very bad vehicle accident a few days ago. And I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you do and it is only because of you I firmly believe, that my kids are alive today. Against the norm here and what people have told me to do with car seats I’ve always followed what you have said and two nights ago both my 7 year-old and 4 year-old were properly in their car seats, our vehicle hit a trailer that someone had lost on the highway and we rolled for what felt like 100 times (about 10). Vehicle is destroyed but our kids are safe and unharmed. Police, fire department and ambulance said this is unheard of and we’re very shocked that the kids left the scene walking. Honestly what you do, does make a difference and I do want to say thank you Eran so much 💕 You were in my thoughts since this happened and I needed to let you know"

This is whats left of their vehicle.

I may not have changed the laws yet. But I am saving lives, one car seat at a time.

Please take the 5 minutes out of your day to double check your kids car seats. Make sure they are still within the limits. And please keep those babies rear-facing.

Mon meilleur ami de mon enfance m'a envoyé un message aujourd'hui.

Ce n'était pas ce à quoi je m'attendais. J'ai dû me recomposer avant de poster ceci.

"Hé Eran !
J'espère que vous et votre famille faites incroyable 💕
Peu de gens le savent en ce moment, mais nous avons eu un très mauvais accident de voiture il y a quelques jours. Et je voulais juste vous remercier du fond du cœur pour tout ce que vous faites et c'est seulement grâce à vous que je crois fermement que mes enfants sont en vie aujourd'hui. Contre la norme ici et ce que les gens m'ont dit de faire avec les sièges auto, j'ai toujours suivi ce que vous avez dit et il y a deux nuits, mon enfant de 7 et 4 ans étaient correctement dans leurs sièges auto, notre véhicule a heurté une remorque que quelqu'un avait perdue sur l'autoroute et nous avons roulé pour ce qui semblait être 100 fois (environ 10). Le véhicule est détruit mais nos enfants sont sains et saufs. La police, les pompiers et les ambulances ont dit que c'était inouï et nous sommes très choqués que les enfants aient quitté les lieux en marchant. Honnêtement, ce que vous faites fait une différence et je tiens à vous dire merci Eran tellement 💕 Vous étiez dans mes pensées depuis que c'est arrivé et j'avais besoin de vous le faire savoir. "

C'est ce qui reste de leur véhicule.

Je n'ai peut-être pas encore changé les lois. Mais je sauve des vies, un siège d'auto à la fois.

S'il vous plaît prendre les 5 minutes de votre journée pour vérifier les sièges auto de vos enfants. Assurez-vous qu'ils sont toujours dans les limites. Et s'il vous plaît garder ces bébés face à l'arrière.

Good reminder with Halloween coming up!

Good reminder with Halloween coming up!

Heading out to a Halloween Party, trunk or treat, ZooBoo, or somewhere else fun in your costume? Don't forget to check for a safe fit in the car seat!

Many costumes are too bulky to wear in the car seat because they create slack in the harness, just like a puffy winter coat would!

If you find the costume is too thick for a safe fit, dress your child lightly or in a thin base layer to ensure a safe and snug harness fit, then put the bulky costume on at your destination!
